Question Scott Roth · 9 hr ago

Over the years, we keep monitoring Orphan Messages, and I have begun to notice the number of ACK/NCK's that do not match the Scheme in which the message was sent so it can't not align or signify that the message was OK. For example, if we send an ADT^A08 HL7 message to the vendor, and they send back a A08 instead of an ACK as the message type.

Currently our default is to have Save Replies on EnsLib.HL7.Operation set to IndexNotOk's.

Question Ethan Calloway · May 20

 I’m looking for recommendations to improve interoperability performance in InterSystems IRIS, especially when handling large volumes of HL7 or healthcare-related messages.

What are the best practices for optimizing productions, business services, operations, and message processing performance? I’d also like to know if there are recommended monitoring tools or settings commonly used in production environments.

Question Luis Gallardo · May 18

What is the recommended approach for handling upgrades in an InterSystems IRIS Kubernetes environment?

For example, if we deploy version 1.0.0 of our product and subsequently need to upgrade to 1.0.1, and this upgrade requires changes to SQL tables containing customer data.

The quickest solution that comes to mind is creating an 'upgrade method' that runs on startup to check if any data migration actions are required. However, I'm wondering if there are better solutions or established best practices for this.

Thanks in advance!
