Hi Community!

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

InterSystems Platforms and FHIR STU3

Has you may know, EnsDemo from Ensemble are not available anymore on IRIS.

This is a good thing, Iris is cloud oriented, it must be light, fast. Now the new way of sharing samples or modules is through git, continuous integration and OpenExchange.

But, in some cases you want to go back to your good old samples from EnsDemo to get inspiration or best practices.

Good news, there is a git for that :

• https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite

How to use it ?

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite.git

And run install.sh

sh install.

InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments.

This problem exists for:

• InterSystems IRIS Data Platform – all currently released versions
• InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.0

If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error.

Hello,

I'm new to Iris for Health and I'm trying to get some experience using it.  I've subscribed to the Intersystems Iris for Health software in AWS marketplace.  I successfully spun up the EC2 instance with the default security group.  The try-iris instance is healthy and successfully starts within EC2.  I've also successfully changed the default password too.

 However, I'm unable to authenticate into the management portal.  The portal launches okay though I keep getting an access denied.  I'm also unable to authenticate into a session from the EC2 instance.

The 2019.2 version of InterSystems IRIS for Health is now Generally Available!

Container images for IRIS for Health are available via the WRC's  download site. The build number for these releases is 2019.2.0.107.0.

InterSystems IRIS for Health  2019.2  is the first CD (continuous delivery) release of IRIS for Health.  It has many new capabilities including:

• enhancements to FHIR STU3 support
• additional IHE profiles
• a new JMS (java message service) connector
• Addition of the IRIS Native API for Python and Node.js and relational access for Node.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in application data integrity issues following an abnormal shutdown.

This problem exists for:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.2
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on Core version 2018.1.2
• InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019.1
• InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.1
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1

The defect breaks the journal sync guarantee that all updates in the journal buffer have been written to the journal file. The failure is silent: it does not generate an error message and there is no entry about it in any log file.

The preview release of IRIS for Health 2019.2 is now  available - give it a try!

Container images are available via the WRC's preview download site.

The build number for these releases is 2019.2.0.100.0.

Hi Everyone!

New session recording from Global Summit 2018 is available on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

InterSystems Healthcare Showcase

Hi Community!

This is the update on what are the new applications submitted on OpenExchange in March 2019

New Applications

isc-tar  published by @Dmitry Maslennikov

Compact files as TAR or Extract files from TAR files

Light weight EXCEL download v.1.0 published by @Robert Cemper

This is the working example of a light weight export to EXCEL based on data in SAMPLES namespace. Good old CSP is well equipped to produce HTML tables accepted from EXCEL as input. With modern Browsers you don't even need and tags. So the required code around your SQL result set is really slim. And you are free to add any formatting you need either by HTML or in SQL.

PythonGateway v.0.7 published by @Eduard Lebedyuk

Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms.

Adopted Bitmaps v.1.0 published by @Robert Cemper

This is a running example of the Bitmap Adoption

WebSockets Tutorial v.1.0 published by @Lily Taub

A short tutorial on WebSockets in InterSystems IRIS 2018.1+ and Caché 2016.2+

Sync Data with DSTIME v.1.0.0 published by @Robert Cemper

Other Sync-Tools just work from Caché/IRIS to Caché/IRIS. Synchronizing your data to some external DB you requires some other solution. DSTIME can do it.

HL7 and SMS Interoperability Demo v.1.3 published by @Amir Samary

This demo shows how easy it is to integrate an Electronic Medical Record system that is sending HL7 messages with AWS.

We can load a CCDA xml document into SDA3 object.

Once parsing SDA3 object, how do we determine from which XPATH from CCDA the specific SDA3 elements were mapped to.

Is there any way?

The 2019.1 version of InterSystems IRIS for Health is now Generally Available!

Kits and container images are available via the WRC download site

The build number for these releases is 2019.1.0.510.0.

IRIS for Health 2019.1 provides the following new capabilities:

• Interoperability. The latest release further expands the product’s schema, transformation, routing, and testing capabilities, supporting integration and service aggregation as a key enabler of digital transformation initiatives.

For a solo developer developing web applications what will be the best  technology to use IRIS or Studio with cache database and containers for deployment

Hi Community!

I'm pleased to announce that we've just launched the new product in the family of InterSystems Data Platforms:

InterSystems IRIS for Health

IRIS for Health — is the world’s first and only data platform engineered specifically for healthcare. It empowers you to rapidly create and scale the industry’s next breakthrough applications.

In the last post we scheduled 24-hour collections of performance metrics using pButtons. In this post we are going to be looking at a few of the key metrics that are being collected and how they relate to the underlying system hardware. We will also start to explore the relationship between Caché (or any of the InterSystems Data Platforms) metrics and system metrics. And how you can use these metrics to understand the daily beat rate of your systems and diagnose performance problems.

This post will guide you through the process of sizing shared memory requirements for database applications running on InterSystems data platforms. It will cover key aspects such as global and routine buffers, gmheap, and locksize, providing you with a comprehensive understanding. Additionally, it will offer performance tips for configuring servers and virtualizing IRIS applications. Please note that when I refer to IRIS, I include all the data platforms (Ensemble, HealthShare, iKnow, Caché, and IRIS).

One of the great availability and scaling features of Caché is Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP). With consideration during application development distributed processing using ECP allows a scale out architecture for Caché applications. Application processing can scale to very high rates from a single application server to the processing power of up to 255 application servers with no application changes.

ECP was used widely for many years in TrakCare deployments I was involved in. A decade ago a 'big' x86 server from one of the major vendors might only have a total of eight cores.

Index

This is a list of all the posts in the Data Platforms’ capacity planning and performance series in order. Also a general list of my other posts. I will update as new posts in the series are added.

You will notice that I wrote some posts before IRIS was released and refer to Caché. I will revisit the posts over time, but in the meantime, Generally, the advice for configuration is the same for Caché and IRIS. Some command names may have changed; the most obvious example is that anywhere you see the ^pButtons command, you can replace it with ^SystemPerformance.

++Update: August 2, 2018

This article provides a reference architecture as a sample for providing robust performing and highly available applications based on InterSystems Technologies that are applicable to Caché, Ensemble, HealthShare, TrakCare, and associated embedded technologies such as DeepSee, iKnow, Zen and Zen Mojo.

Azure has two different deployment models for creating and working with resources: Azure Classic and Azure Resource Manager. The information detailed in this article is based on the Azure Resource Manager model (ARM).
