HealthShare Health Connect v15.03 on core technology 2017.1.3.317.

Hi, Community!

I'm pleased to share the news of Developer Community April 2018 release.

We improved Performance, Tags, and UI. 

See the details below.

1. Performance improvements

We fixed a lot of performance issues and the site became more responsive on main, groups and tags pages.

2. Tags descriptions

All the tags have descriptions nows so it is easier to understand what the tag relates to. E.g. Caché, ObjectScript, Beginner.

3. Special tags

We introduced the option to have "private" tags - the tags, which only dedicated people can put for a topic.

Effective immediately InterSystems will no longer support Health Connect on Solaris. Previously released products starting with 2017.1 will also no longer offer this combination. This is in line with InterSystems HealthShare, which is not available on this platform.

I'm pleased to see this in the documentation of the just-published 2017.1 Field Test of Ensemble:

"In certain circumstances, it is useful to create namespaces that are not enabled for Ensemble. In this release you can do this by clearing the Make this an Ensemble namespace checkbox when creating a new namespace. "

As previously announced, 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS 8.4-1H1 is the final major version of Caché and Ensemble.  2017.1 will not be available for VSI OpenVMS versions beyond 8.4-1H1.

Maintenance releases of 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS may be announced but only to deliver critical corrections.  2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS will be the Minimum Supported Version from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020.  After December 31, 2020, no further maintenance releases will be made available.

Hi, Community!

We have a new release of Developer Community here!

What's new?

Better subscriptions, new notifications on answers, better performance, better member mentioning and public task tracker for DC.

See the details inside!

I am wondering about upgrading our Healthshare mirrored environment to the latest release. Has anyone upgraded recently to what version and what kind of effort was put into it. I am thinking it will take 2 analysts full time for 3 months. Am I out of the ball park on this estimate? We have bout 600 operations, Processes and services. What are some of the benefits we get from upgrading and what are some of the problems you ran into during the upgrade? Any information you have to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm having trouble with a vb6 application attempting to connect to a Cache 2017 release. It uses the older Cacheobject.dll instead of ActiveX. The application currently works with a 2010 release of Cache. Is Cacheobject.dll supported in later releases?

I looked through documentation and posts and did not find an answer.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Project related quality assurance efforts have revealed a number of concerns for the current release of 2017.1.0 and 2017.1.1 on all OpenVMS platforms. In certain situations, the impact can be severe. InterSystems will address these issues with the upcoming 2017.1.2 release, and in the meantime, will remove all 2017.1.x kits for OpenVMS from our Download Servers.

If you have immediate needs correcting existing deployments of this version, please contact the InterSystems WRC (support@intersystems.com).

July 27, 2017 – Alert: Linux Defects Can Corrupt Mirror Copies of Journal Files

InterSystems has encountered defects in Linux which can corrupt copies of journal files that are generated on a mirror backup or async member; this occurs only in certain specific configurations. The original mirror journal file created on the primary member is not affected.

The risk is only exposed in Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with version 2017.1.0. The risk only exists on Linux and only if a backup or async mirror member is configured to use the rtkaio library.

I am pleased to announce the Maintenance Release of HealthShare Health Connect v15.021 on data platforms 2016.1.4

This contains the HealthShare module Core: 15.021.8253

The version number for this kit is 2016.1.4HS.8253.0

The platform list is the same as for HealthShare Health Connect v15.02 for 2016.1.3. You can get details from the Supported Platforms document.

June 26, 2017 – Alert: Data Corruption with Mixed Endian Mirror Shadowing

InterSystems has corrected a defect that may result in corruption of Unicode data on a shadow system whose source is an async mirror member.

This defect affects all currently released Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with version 2012.2.0.  All platforms and operating systems are affected.

In order to be exposed to the risk the configuration must include mirror primary and async members, and a shadow of the async member.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the availability of the Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.4 maintenance releases.

For a complete list of the corrections, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.4 are available on the same platforms as 2016.1.3.  For complete platform details, please refer to the Supported Platforms document.

Availability of HealthShare Health Connect will be announced separately.

The version number of the kits for these releases is 2016.1.4.104.0
