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

We are trying to mark a hl7 nack as "completed" to ignore an error and not generate the alert. 

We can remove from adding a managed alert or add another router in 

When Nack of CR of 

Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty

We tried via this but i think it's only for an actual IRIS alert errror not the HL7 error code/description 

E*Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty=C,:?CR=C,:?R=RF,:?E=S,:~=S,:?A=C,:*=S,:I?=W,:T?=C

Our vendor is developing an interface API on their end to capture HL7 data on a Server Port, and they require us to send a pre-defined HL7 Order message for testing every hour until the API is completely operational.

Is it possible to accomplish that in a Business Operation automatically without utilizing a service or process? The BO is a standard TCP/IP connection.

I'm manually sending the message again from the Operations right now. I do not have access to the System Operation to use the Task Manager feature.

We currently have Business Operation that we built to use the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter so we can make Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure calls. The BO is attached to a Java Gateway Service.

Some of our MS SQL Databases have moved from being OnPrem to Azure Cloud. We have started seeing where we are receiving errors on the BO saying that we cannot connect to the Azure Database, but we never receive a Disconnect from the Azure Database.

Interoperability on Python (IoP) is a proof-of-concept project designed to showcase the power of the InterSystems IRIS Interoperability Framework when combined with a Python-first approach.IoP leverages Embedded Python (a feature of InterSystems IRIS) to enable developers to write interoperability components in Python, which can seamlessly integrate with the robust IRIS platform. This guide has been crafted for beginners and provides a comprehensive introduction to IoP, its setup, and practical steps to create your first interoperability component. By the end of this article, you will get a

Given:
class Foo.Bar extends Ens.BusinessOperation
{
Parameter SETTINGS = "Whatever:Basic";
}

class Foo.Baz extends Foo.Bar
I want to somehow drop "Whatever" as a setting from Foo.Baz. How can I do this?

Using a WSDL and the SOAP wizard I created a WebServiceClient, and Operation to send an encoded message to a Vendor. But the vendor is now sending back an HL7 in the SOAP response.

I tried updating the Operation to Extend EnsLib.HL7.Operation.ReplyStandard, but still use the EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter. When I did this it broke my Operation and would not compile with the following error...

Sending emails is a common requirement in integration scenarios — whether for client reminders, automatic reports, or transaction confirmations. Static messages quickly become hard to maintain and personalize. This is where the templated_email module comes in, combining InterSystems IRIS Interoperability with the power of Jinja2 templates.

Why Jinja2 for Emails

Jinja2 is a popular templating engine from the Python ecosystem that enables fully dynamic content generation. It supports:

We have a vendor that is requiring that the HL7 sent to them is sent as an Encoded message inside a SOAP request but is sending back an HL7 message as the response. 

When the WSDL built the response, it was expecting an encoded message back. I updated the Request and Business Operation to expect an EnsLib.HL7.Message, however I am not sure how to handle the HL7 ACK to post it back to the sending message so it will not cause an Orphan message, and to parse it back correctly in the trace viewer.

When I do a $$$LOGINFO on the pResponse, I get back...

I am having issues trying to send SOAP requests to a Cloud Based AWS Application that lives outside of our network. 

It is using a Basic Authentication, Key, Certificate Authority and Whitelist for Security. 

If I attempt the connection using wget from the command line I am able to connect,

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

IRIS and Ensemble are designed to act as an ESB/EAI. This mean they are build to process lots of small messages.

But some times, in real life we have to use them as ETL. The down side is not that they can't do so, but it can take a long time to process millions of row at once.

To improve performance, I have created a new SQLOutboundAdaptor who only works with JDBC.

BatchSqlOutboundAdapter

Extend EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to add batch batch and fetch support on JDBC connection.

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.

🤖 Why We Built FHIRInsight

WSDL for a CDC vendor was provided with a URL using a custom socket (non 443). Everything generated fine, but when making calls to their https:// URL that has their custom port in the URL - no response comes back. The assumption is, their server isn't even processing the request, as Postman does using the custom https://path.to.server:NNNN port in the URL.

Hi community,

The aim of this article is to explain how to create messaging between IRIS and Microsoft Teams.

In my company, we wanted to monitor error messages, and we used the Ens.Alert class to redirect those error messages through a Business Operation that sent an email.
The problem was that we sent those error messages to a support account where there were many emails. We wanted something specific for a specific team.

One of the challenges of creating a DICOM message is how to implement putting data in the correct place. Part of it is by inserting the data in the specific DICOM tags, while the other is to insert binary data such as a picture - In this article I will explain both.

To create a DICOM message, you can either use the  EnsLib.DICOM.File class (to create a DICOM file) or the  EnsLib.DICOM.Document class (to create a message that can be sent to PACS directly). In either case, the SetValueAt method will allow you to add your data to the DICOM tags.

Hi,

We're having an issue with some messages being sent to a downstream system from Healthshare.  Part of the free text in the NTE segment is displaying with special characters on the system front-end but is not present in the HL7 message that we send to them.  We are guessing that this is a result of some of the text being copied and pasted from something like MS Word. The '?' on their system is just representing an invalid character. 

Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this occurring? We are sending the messages using the 'cp1252' encoding.

Sent from us to system

Trying to start investigating an error we are seeing with multiple of the same messages getting sent to the same vendor. We receive an HL7 message with an RTF embedded from our EMR, send it through a DTL to just update the Patient Class, and then send it onto the Operation which is TCP.

We are starting to see this error message...

Hello,

I tried to define Pool Size in System Default Settings, but it is not being used. I see I am not the first to try this without success:

Any suggestions?

Hi,

My HL7 interface in production is outputting messages to a HL7 File Operation and a  EnsLib.HL7.Operation.HTTPOperation. There is no errors in the File Operation, but the HL7 HTTPOperation is giving ERROR #5911: Character Set 'iso-8859-4' not installed, unable to perform character set translation.  Both the HL7 File Operation and HL7 HTTP Operation are using latin1 for Default Char Encoding.

What is ERROR #5911 about? Is something missing in the IRIS installation? 

Thank you.

We are calling a REST web-service from Ensemble using EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdapter and redefining the adapter class to set custom headers as described by @Eduard Lebedyuk here: How to set Content-Type

During development we accidentally stumbled across puzzling behaviour - we now suspect that the %Net.HttpRequest object created in the linked example is being reused in the following scenario:

What is the recommended library for converting documents to pdf. Any suggestions welcome has anyone out there had a use case where they had to convert documents to pdf .What worked for them .I have asked WRC for the best practice and they have recommended that may be  a sale engineer might have an answer to this .

I have an operation using $ZF this operation ran and did not error but the job has been active and it can not be stopped I have tried stopping it from the front end and through the terminal using ##class(ENSLIB.Job).%New() Stop method. Now my production will not update even if I add a new item to the production I cannot update the item is there a way to force stop  this job.

Hello,

I hope this is a simple ask..

basically I need to create local files daily at a certain time for example 11:30pm.

1. file name needs to be like  xxx__20250113.txt , the date part should be next day's timestamp with format YYYYMMDD, so I will write about 17 files like that with different names.

2. write a dummy hard coded word for example “Dummy Word” in the file.  the file eventually will be used by other operations to add hl7 message on top of this  in it with the live interface message. 

3. this needs to be done every night at 11:45pm

So how am I going to implement this?

In your Interoperability Production you could always have a Business Operation that is an HTTP client, that uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, but you had to customize the Operation for this authentication methodology. Since v2024.3, which was lately released, there is a new capability, providing new settings, to handle this more easily.

Recently, I come up an idea in my mind that how can I put my playlist on IRIS.🧐

At the same time, I was told to pay for my Spotify subscription💸💸... ooo.. how about to get some data from the Spotify API... so I started to do study about it.

Like most of the development, let's start from Documentation of  the API https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api

In order to get the data, i am required to request an access token from for the token endpoint URL.🧐

I am developing a business operation that receives a request, creates a message with the data contained in it and sends it to an outlook email. For testing purposes both the sender and the destination are the same email account
This is the code:
ClassBO.AlertEmailSenderExtendsEns.BusinessOperation{

Hi Community,   OpenAPI-Client Gen has just released, this is an application to create an IRIS Interoperability Production client from Swagger 2.0 specification.   Instead of the existing tool ^%REST that creates a server-side REST application, OpenAPI-Client Gen creates a complete REST Interoperability Production client template.

Install by ZPM:

zpm "install openapi-client-gen"

  How to generate production from Swagger document?   It's very simple.

Open a terminal and execute:

Set sc = ##class(dc.openapi.client.Spec).generateApp(<applicationName>, <Your Swagger 2.0 document>>)

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to call a Business Operation from other Business Operation.

I have a BO that writes logs into a database, using a personal message. I can create a set obj=##class(MyLogs).%New() but the BO has all parameters about connection.

Is it possible?

Best regards.
