Hi,

I want to consume an API that provides HL7 messages. To achieve this, I have thought of the following workflow:

I have created a business service that periodically triggers a business process. The trigger request is forwarded to a business operation. There, a %Net.HttpRequest is assembled from scratch and then sent to the API endpoint. The corresponding HttpResponse then contains several HL7 messages encoded in UTF-8 in the message body. To further process the HL7 messages, the operation sends the HttpResponse back to the business process as EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage.

Hello,I am currently facing the task of retrieving or sending HL7 messages from a web API. Since we only send HL7 messages via internal sockets, web APIs are relatively new to me.The following is my plan for the new interface:I have created a new custom business service that periodically sends requests to a business process. In this business process, the HTTP request (HTTP.GenericMessage) is then created from scratch. The special feature is the "Authorisation" header field, where a signature is inserted, which consists of a base64-encoded hash value. The request is then sent to the API via a

Hi,

we get HL7 MDM messages with embedded PDF documents that are Base64 encoded. When the embedded PDF document exceeds the size of 3.6 MB the following error occurs:

FEHLER <Ens>ErrBPTerminated: BP Main HL7 MDM # wird wegen folgenden Fehlers beendet: FEHLER #5002: Caché-Fehler: <MAXSTRING>zgetAtFromArray+46^EnsLib.HL7.Segment.1

Hello,

I created a custom business operation to copy PDF files in Intersystems Healthshare. To copy the files I used:

$ZF(-100, "", "cp", "-f", tSource, tTarget)

tSource contains the source file e.g. "/opt/var/data/dir/1821008687135422926_5849146876.pdf".

tTargetSource contains the target file "/opt/targetdir/Müller_Jörg_1821008687.pdf".

Copying files without german Umlaute works fine (e.g Smith_Robert_1821081542.pdf), but when the string contains special characters like "ä", "ö", "ü" or even  "ß" copying is not successful.
