Hi Community

I'm working on a complex piece of rules that needs to check each OBX and evaluate if 3 of the fields match certain criteria. I've tried to achieve this using a Foreach loop, which does work, however it is not as clean as I wanted it. I was hoping I could assign temp variables inside the foreach loop to make the rules more easier to read, for example @testCode @resultText. This is not support as you can only assign inside a when condition. Before I raise this as an idea, i wondered if there was an alternative way to achieve the same thing?

I seem to remember making this work before, but I'm not having any luck digging up examples.

I've defined some custom properties for a business operation that could definitely benefit from having popup descriptions available in the Production Configuration. I have triple-slash comments before each property that do just that in the source. I thought those provided the text for the popup descriptions when clicking on the property name, but apparently not.

Any thoughts?

Good morning,

We would need help, thanks in advance for your help. 🙂

We have been trying to debug the following error, when sending a DICOM from a "EnsLib.DICOM.Operation.TCP" to a PACs:

We use the following AET titles at the Operation:

LocalAET: ESBSSCC-DCM

RemoteAET: HUNSCESBGWT

I was wondering if anyone had a way to automate creating the Query String for a FHIR Request?

Using HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request in my development I have to specify the following...

I was wondering.... if my source had variable number of fields if there was a way to automate the build for the QueryString when doing a Patient Search?

I am trying to replicate a way to use FHIR as a way to query the EMR instead of using a MS SQL Stored Procedure that is populated via HL7 ADT to query.

The below code is not working. its unable retrieve Record count and merge files

Hi noble devs!

Just building a simple frontend->JSON->IRIS backend story, and figured that IRIS while importing via %JSON.Adaptor wants JSON fields to match property names, meaning even should match the case. Like:

{ name: "John", 

surname: "Doe"}

will have issues while saving the dynamic object to a class Sample.Person with:

Class Sample.Person Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{

Property Name: %Sting;Property Surname: %String;
}

As soon as the case is not the same...

Hello, good morning, thank you so much for reading this question. ☺️🙂👍

We are developing a code to get information about our Production's items: services, processes and operations.

We know we can get various configurations of a given item: Category, Port, Enabled...

But we wonder how we could get the date time of the last mesage (most recent) received in an item.

To give a code snippet a small section of the code we have developed (and tested), it looks like:

Hi ISC Experts,

I'm in the process of setting up InterSystems IRIS for HealthShare with database mirroring, and I’d appreciate some guidance around how to handle an existing ODBC connection in this new setup.

Scenario:

I have an application that is requires an Encoded HL7 message sent over SOAP over HTTPS using SSL/TLS... the Response that is return is also encoded, which I know how to Decode but not sure when I Decode the response how to Extract the HL7 message to send back to the router.

How do I capture the Routing Source System and parse the encoded message back into an HL7 format that would show on the trace viewer?

Below is an example...where I get the response and want to send it back to FeederScottRouting as an HL7 message that can be tied to the Parent ID of the sending request message?

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,

Hey everyone,

I'm diving deeper into Caché ObjectScript and would love to open a discussion around the most useful tips, tricks, and best practices you’ve learned or discovered while working with it.

Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, ObjectScript has its own set of quirks and powerful features—some well-documented, others hidden gems. I’m looking to compile a helpful set of ideas from the community.

Some areas I’m especially interested in:

InterSystems EMPI (formerly HealthShare Patient Index) – Virtual  July 9-11, 2025

For those that use IRIS for Health, HealthShare, and or Health Connect...

As Health Applications are moving to the Cloud, how have you handled communication from the Application to your instances via HTTPS?

Trying to figure out the best path on designing the proper workflow to allow these messages to be allowed to be eventually sent to our EMR to post to the patient chart.

We are very wary of opening a connection from the internet to our instance of Health Connect.

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

The Certification team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing two new HealthShare Unified Care Record certification exams, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of the exams.  Please note that these exams will replace our HealthShare Unified Care Record Technical Specialist exam that we plan to retire in January 2026. Certifications earned in this technology before the exam’s retirement will remain valid for five years from the date of achievement.

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

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,

While HL7 Errors ACKs come back in the soap response, the HL7v2 Error ACK message is not processed. 

I used the SOAP Wizard to construct my classes, but the generated code doesn't handle the HL7v2 ACK.
Does health Connect have a class that handles this?

Failing an official solution should I go ahead and make make my own classes based on EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation, but wrapping it with the generated SOAP handling code.

How have others dealt with this?

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 All,

I am trying to build a very basic data transformation to convert messages from OML^O21 to ORM^O01. However, I'm unable to loop through multiple ORC segments.When I use the source document type 2.5: OML_O21, I am not able to loop through multiple lines of the ORC segment.Interestingly, if I use the source document type 2.3: ORM_O01, I am able to loop through multiple ORC segments successfully.I am currently using the following data transformation logic:

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

####

ROUTINE ImplUtil

Say(pSomething = "hello, i'm the ROUTINE") public{
    w !,pSomething,!
}

####

call: irissession healthconnect -U user 'Say^ImplUtil(12345)'

what's the right way to pass in text?
