#Business Process (BPL)

Hello,
I want to process more requests per second in Ensemble 2015 (soap service).My problem is in a business process that makes a great transformation.I thought that I can put its group size to 4 (the current value is 1), or put 4 business processes and apply, for example, the round-robin algorithm.
Which alternative is better?

I have many items in business services.

one of my particular business service is frequently asking restart.

Is there any code to update particular business services out of all services?

Thanks in advance...

Synopsis: I need to "sideline" messages for subsequent selection and data enrichment while maintaining manageability within the Ensemble framework.

We are starting to look into our BPL's and catch errors that calls may return. Can someone explain how to use the THROW and CATCH within the Business Process Language or have a sample of how it should work?

Thanks

I am trying to transform an Enlib.EDI.XML.Document through aXLT I know how to trans form the xml document  through a xlt stylesheet but been trying to get an Enlib.EDI.XML. Document from a procees by creating aoperation that will do the transformation of this to file if this can be done in a process all ideas welcome  so far I have come to this and I keep getting an error

:ERROR{ERROR #5002: Cache error: <PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST>zXMLTOJson+6^TestEnvironment.Custom.GENERAL.CUSTOM.XLT.XMLToJsonOperation1.1 *Parameters,EnsLib.EDI.XML}

I have a process that I am trying to duplicate from SQL Integration Services (SSIS) into Ensemble so that the rest of my team can help support any issues that may happen.

This particular job creates multiple dictionary files, but for each one of the dictionary files it creates, it also creates a control file that tells the vendor what to process.

So example....I have a result set that is written to a.txt but I also need to create aa.ctrl, then I will have a b.txt and need a b.ctrl.

When executing a business process I'd like to share the Login Token from an external system retrieved via one of my business operations across multiple process instances. This means I need to persist the token somewhere. What would be the best approach/pattern to implement this?

Initial questions have been answered. Expanded the post with actual code (see below)

So, I'd like to update one (and preferably) more context-fields in my ensemble BPL business process based upon the information in the request that initiates said BPL proces. I got a few questions about that:

I have a text file that is fixed width delimited and am using a BPL to process this file, ultimately performing a transform from the text file to an HL7 message. I created a DTL, mapping from the recordmap to the HL7. In my BPL, I am performing some loops and other logic (that all is working). My issue is what to do when I perform the Transform.

Hi all,

For special definition of the company, we need to define a PoolSize according to the environment that the "Ensemble" is working.

So the first try as been add the parameter into "System Default Setting"

However, this parameter is not available in "Setting default values" in Setting tab.

I've opened the code of my production and I've noted that this parameter is a attribute of the XML element of this item

I have a batch record mapper that reads a csv file and passes the message to a process that uses the EnsLib.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine and would like to pass the message to an operation that will output that as a XML file but so far been unlucky as the operation that I use , uses the EnsLib.EDI.XML.Operation.FileOperation which only works with the messages("BusinessOperation class for writing XML messages to a file. Works with XML messages of type EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document.") is there a way to achieve this or somewhere to read in order to achieve this I have asked before on this post but the

I  have a business service that brings in a xml virtual document to the production and also a csv service  that brings in a csv file and have a process that transforms both to a xml output  but I have a problem with the csv as it is giving me this error when I try to trans form it ```ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST>zOnRequest+1 ^EnsLib.MsgRouter.VDocRoutingEngine.1 *DocType``` I have read here followed the suggestion but now I do not get any errors but my message is not being routed here is the rule set that I am using

Has anybody devised a process that would allow the render and printing of BPL diagrams created in Studio? Thank you.

Preface

Before we begin, I'd like to mention that I am by no means an Ensemble expert, so take this with a grain of salt and please feel free to offer any suggestions for improvement. That being said, I have enjoyed working with Ensemble and wanted to share the approach I took to poll an external REST API for patient data in the hopes that it might help others with a similar goal.

If you get bored easily and just want to see some code, feel free to jump straight to the example on github. It uses dummy data (for obvious reasons) but the core principles should be the same.

The Goal

What are the pros and cons of developing a custom database driven routing engine vs. using the Ensemble standard routing engine. What I'm trying to accomplish with the custom routing engine is less manual intervention every time a new route is added. The con I can see with the custom engine is performance may lag behind the standard engine. My development vs. Intersystems essentially.

I appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Is it possible to dynamically adjust the RetryInterval andFailureTimeout settings in a BPL?

I've got a business process that calls a web service operation to get a session ID from an external system.  There is a string property returned in the body of the response that indicate an exception occurred in the external system. I have code in the BPL that examines the property and sets the status property to an error status when that occurs.

Depending on what the value is I want to adjust the RetryInterval and FailureTimeout values used in by the system when the ReplyCodeActions is set to E=RD.

Hi,

I have a process in which i call a rest operation in a while loop, get a response in JSON format of 50 issues, with paging, meaning this call will happen until the total amount of issues will be returned. each JSON is parsed into a proxyObject, and inserted to a list. later the entire list will be sent to an SQL operation which will write the data in the appropriate tables.

The problem i'm encountering, is when i use the "ASSIGN" action, with insert at a certain key (context.i=context.i +1  for each iteration of the loop), i get an Error  that says that the value 3 is invalid key.

Hi folks, I'm trying to pad my patient MRN to 10 characters before I do a SQL lookup in my BPL. I've tried various approaches, and have not been successful.

When I add a "code" statement with the following code, I get an error as below.

set context.NewID = "0000000000"
set $EXTRACT(context.NewID,10-len(context.PatientID)) = context.PatientID

I have a call in a business process that returns a response which may contain a collection of error message. I use the following code in my response builder to extract the messge value from the first error and map them to a context variable:

Set    context.ErrorMessage   callresponse.result.GetAt(1).errors.GetAt(1).message

I am creating a BPL using the Management Portal instead of creating a custom class. 

As per the documentations 'request object' contains properties those were in the original request message object or primary request and can be reference using the dot syntax. 

So if the primary request was an HL7 message, i should be able to pull the value MSH:9.2 as  follow 

request.{MSH:9.2} and assign it to a context property

I have a business service and I want to know when did the current business service job started.

Is there a way to get this information from Ensemble?

I'm trying to figure out how to throw an Alarm if a operation Sync times out. This seems like a simple situation but I'm not sure of what component to use to do this.

Does anyone have a sample?

Suppose I have an image and need to convert that image into a PDF for inclusion in an HL7.

I know that Zen Reports can display an image in a PDF but I do not want to view the image in a web page. I just need to convert the image to PDF in a Process and then include that PDF in an HL7. The  workflow would be like this:

Get image -> Convert image into PDF -> Include PDF in HL7 OBX.

I know how to do the last part to include PDF in HL7 OBX. Just need ideas on the first part.

Folks

1) What's the correct way to check for an existence of a segment?  So far I have been doing this by checking to see if a required field is non-null, and this seems to work but is a bit clumsy. In this case, it’s an X12 message being checked in an IF action in BPL:

              request.GetValueAt("NTE(1):Description")'=""

Or in a DTL, to see if a Z segment exists:

              source.{ZEF:Counter}=1

I created a DTL to do HL7 mapping. The test function in the tools works the DTL perfectly but when used by the rule in my business process, the OBX segments are stripped and the MRN is gone. The assigning authority and ID type are added into the PID but the actual patient MRN is blank (3.1 value).

Here is the source code. 

Hello,

We are working on creating a metadata file to accompany PDF documents produced by one of our third party systems for ingestion into our DMS.  One of the pieces of data that the metadata file must contain is the number of pages of the PDF document.

In Cache ObjectScript does anybody know if there is currently a way of counting the number of pages within a file (specifically a PDF) without invoking a non-Caché ObjectScript program/function from within Caché ObjectScript?

I have an XML I am sending to an operation from a BPL.  This is a query for Patient information from Epic using a web service.  I created the operation using the add-in in Studio.  I setup the BPL to do a Call and send whatever data I receive from the client.  I get a response back from Epic with a list of matching Patients.  In the BPL I am trying to use the Response Builder to pass the response ID, name, DOB, etc. to matching context items to then pass to the client as a response.  I get the following error within the call:

This question came in on an Ensemble email list:

• I need to route a file based on its type in Ensemble Production. But I don't want to write a Business Process code to achieve this.
•  Am using FilePassThroughService to get a file. There are two FilePassthrough operations for different type of files.
•  Is there anyway to achieve this routing using Business Process Rule itself?
•  Also how to get the filename in Business Process Rule that comes from FilePassThroughService?       

Are you determining the file type by the file name extension or by the contents of the file?

Is there a XSL to transform from ProvideAndRegisterRequest to HS.Message.XMLMessage?

maybe I am not looking in the correct spots, but how should one handle an Exception from a SOAP web service within the Business  Process Language? For example I am sending a request to a Web Service to try to get information, but the response I am getting is an Exception like "Patient Not Found".

Is there a function I can call to check the response similar to what I do to check a SQL Snapshot to see if it is valued?

Thanks
