#InterSystems IRIS

I am having a hard time trying to figure out the following...

Within a DTC, I was able to take the a EnsLib.HL7.Message source and using

set a= $System.Encryption.Base64Encode(source.RawContent)
set encodedMessage=$Get(a)

to take the HL7 message encode it and add it to the Data Class as a string to be sent to an Operation to be sent out as a SOAP Request. 

However to make it more universal I tried doing this within a copy of EnsLib.HL7.SOAPOperation

Method SendMessage(pMsgOut As EnsLib.HL7.Message, Output pMsgIn As EnsLib.

Hi  Guys,

I'm looking for a Zen component that allow me to populate a list of items and the ability to multiselect, similar to checklist?

I've thought of using MultiSelectSet component but don't know how can I populate it like to a query or resultset?

a short sample code would be helpful.

Thanks

Does anyone have a copy of the Class EnsLib.File.CSVService, which can import a CSV file in a Business Service?

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?

Hello All,

No matter what I try in Business Process Logic (BPL), I am unable to calculate the patient's age in days or years.

Has anyone ever built logic in a Business Process (BPL) to calculate a person's age in days?

Thank you!

Hi,

     Can anyone please tell me how to append a string using a update query.

For eg :  "Hello" is the string . I need to append the string world and it needs to be "Hello world".

Thanks

Hi Community,

Our Project Managers created a series of videos to highlight some of the interesting features of the new 2025.1 release. Please welcome the first one of them:

⏯ Foreign Tables in InterSystems IRIS 2025.1

Introduction

MonLBL is a tool for analyzing the performance of ObjectScript code execution line by line. codemonitor.MonLBL is a wrapper based on the %Monitor.System.LineByLine package from InterSystems IRIS, designed to collect precise metrics on the execution of routines, classes, or CSP pages.

The wrapper and all examples presented in this article are available in the following GitHub repository: iris-monlbl-example

I have a Task that I am trying to write the output to a file. How do I check for if the Output File has been included in the Task Schedule, so I can direct my output of my class to that output file?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

How can I create Python pages instead of CSP or Zen pages, not familiar with Python and the only way I know is using embedded Python as methods as attached below?  

Thanks

Let's suppose two different routines use one and the same chunk of code. From the object-oriented POV, a good decision is to have this chunk of code in a separate class and have both routines call it. However, whenever you call code outside of the routine as opposed to calling code in the same routine, some execution speed is lost. For reports churning through millions of transactions this lost speed might be noticeable. Any advice how to optimize specifically speed?
P.S. Whenever someone is talking about the best choice for whatever, I am always tempted to ask: "What are we optimizing?".

How would you go about creating an SQL Stored Procedure that would result in the same output as "IN LIKE"?
For example...

Hi IRIS experts!

I have a parameter in a class that stores a global name:

Parameter GlobalName = "^AGlobal";

then I'm trying to call it as:

set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

to use it later as:

set @gn@("index")="value"

But! I'm having syntax at set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Community,
i'm trying to figure out how to pass a string to a routine from Powershell:

• Git Location Driver, which enables Deltanji to integrate directly with Git repositories.
• Additional signing methods for Task Server II.
• DATA Component Driver proxy classes.
• Add or remove from Work Lists incrementally. 
• %ALL system definitions.
• New Installation defaults.

I have a stream that I read out until the end. I then append more content to the stream and want to read out only what has been added. How do I only read out the new contents of the stream? Essentially, I want to read a stream, record the end position, then once the stream is updated read the contents from that recorded position until at the new end. This stream needs to be kept intact for historical reference so cannot be cleared between reads.

Is a layer before the internal HTTP of Caché/IRIS, such as a Reverse Proxy or API Gateway, a good option?

Example: I have an API using %CSP.REST, and I am using the internal port for development. But for production and approval, I put a reverse proxy using NGINX. Is this recommended? Is it an alternative?

We're planning to use Production Validator for validating our system upgrade (2016.2.3 to 2024.2) , and we are trying to understand what kind of benchmarking or performance metrics others have observed during similar efforts.

Specifically, we are looking for a case study or real-world example that includes details like:

• How many messages were validated?
• How long did it take to create the temporary database from the source system?
• How long did it take to run the comparison on the destination system?

You know that feeling when you get your blood test results and it all looks like Greek? That's the problem FHIRInsight is here to solve. It started with the idea that medical data shouldn't be scary or confusing – it should be something we can all use. Blood tests are incredibly common for checking our health, but let's be honest, understanding them is tough for most folks, and sometimes even for medical staff who don't specialize in lab work. FHIRInsight wants to make that whole process easier and the information more actionable.

Hello,

I am currently trying to install InterSystems IRIS for Health and specifically the Ensemble integration tool, but I am facing issues.

Here are the details of my setup:

• Version of IRIS: 2025.1 (Community Edition)
• Operating System: [Insert your OS here, e.g., Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, etc.]
• Issue: I have downloaded IRIS for Health, but I cannot find Ensemble during the installation process. I have tried using the Early Access programs, but Ensemble is not included in the options I can choose. I have also tried installing various versions of IRIS, but still, Ensemble is missing.

IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Hi all!

I want to create an %Embedding.Config to use with an %Embedding property. I followed the documentation for %Embedding.OpenAI, and it works fine after setting sslConfig, modelName, and apiKey.

However, I need to use AzureOpenAI. While the embedding process is similar to OpenAI's, Azure requires additional connection parameters, like an endpoint. My question is: is it possible to configure these extra parameters with %Embedding.Config, and if so, how?

Hi community.

I was wondering if it was possible to use something like EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter with tables in IRIS.

This library monitors when a record has been inserted into a table in an external database, so it requires a DSN to connect to that database.

My goal is to make a call to an external API that takes a long time, it could spend nearly an hour (or more) completing its processes, but I don't want to block the main process.
