Topic: Download meta information from FHIR server

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 16 2016 at 16:54):

http://hl7.org/fhir/dstu2/ allows to download

      'version.info',
      'profiles-types.json',
      'profiles-resources.json',
      'extension-definitions.json',
      'valuesets.json',
      'search-parameters.json',
      'conceptmaps.json',
      'dataelements.json',

How would that work with other FHIR servers?
For example hapi-fhir-cli doesn't seem to support that.

Grahame Grieve (Oct 16 2016 at 20:47):

that's not the functions of a FHIR server

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 05:47):

Thanks @Grahame Grieve
It occurred to me later, that these are static parts (same for each FHIR server) so it doesn't need to be provided by each FHIR server.
How can I get the information about the customizations?
I can load the ConformanceStatement but I don't know if it contains everything.
What is the correct way to get all extensions that are configured on a specific server?

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 08:28):

https://fhirtest.uhn.ca/baseDstu2/metadata seems only to be about REST (operations and search)

Grahame Grieve (Oct 17 2016 at 08:31):

there are two links to profiles in the conformance statement. see here

http://hl7-fhir.github.io/profiling.html#profile-uses

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 09:11):

I get in CapabilityStatement

          "profile": {
            "reference": "http://hl7.org/fhir/profiles/Account"
          },

How is this URL supposed to be interpreted?

Is there a way to set up hapi-fhir-cli with custom profiles for testing purposes.
Are there predefined profiles that can be used for that purpose?

Grahame Grieve (Oct 17 2016 at 11:12):

this means that the server claoims to support Account as defined. You'll have to read the HAPI documenation about how profiling works there

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 11:34):

@Grahame Grieve thanks a lot!

Do you know of any example profiles that can be used for testing?

Grahame Grieve (Oct 17 2016 at 11:35):

testing what?

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 11:46):

Testing a client that uses a FHIR server with a custom profile.

Günter Zöchbauer (Oct 17 2016 at 12:51):

I'll investigate what ./hapi-fhir-cli upload-examples -c -t http://localhost:8080/baseDstu2loads exactly.
This might already be what I'm looking for.
