Hi all, we created profiles using Forge STU3 version. we want to convert them into R4. Can anyone suggest me how to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Michel Rutten (May 06 2019 at 14:28):
Hi @Surya, as far a I am aware, there is no conversion or tooling available that can migrate profiles from STU3 to R4. So it will involve some manual labor.

There's logic in the IG publisher and validator that does it,but it's not set up to run stand-alone

@Grahame Grieve?
Grahame Grieve (May 06 2019 at 15:10):
well depends what you want:
- I have R3 Structure definitions that profiles a structure and I want to describe the same structure in R4 StructureDefinitions
- I have structure definitions that profiles an R3 Structure and I want to convert the it so it's a profile on the R4 structure
Surya (May 07 2019 at 04:59):
@Grahame Grieve Thank you
We created R3 structure definitions ,now we want to convert them into R4 structure. Is there any tool for converting R3 to R4 ?
Grahame Grieve (May 07 2019 at 09:22):
I believe that you want to do my first option. Then the answer is yes, the java code base includes a library to do that. But I don't think it's packaged into a command line tool
Surya (May 07 2019 at 09:34):
Thank you @Grahame Grieve
Not exactly ,but we want R4 structure not the same structure of R3.
Grahame Grieve (May 07 2019 at 09:39):
so you want to second. In which case... there is no tool. You have to do it manually
Surya (May 07 2019 at 09:41):
Thank you @Grahame Grieve for your suggestion.

Hi All,
Need help to know on any tool to automate (full/partial) conversion of non-FHIR APIs/Services to FHIR APIs Or any service provider for the same?
I think I have seen for legacy data conversion to FHIR but not for APIs request and response structure.
David Pyke (Feb 07 2022 at 19:47):
I'm not sure what you're asking for. Do you want people that can convert non-FHIR data or just convert a query?
Manjry Satsangi (Feb 07 2022 at 21:05):
I am asking about covert a SOAP service or REST API schema and code conversion to a FHIR API.
Manjry Satsangi (Feb 07 2022 at 21:07):
I meant any way (tool/utility) to avoid writing a FHIR API from scratch but convert the existing services/APIs to FHIR , if not full then at least a partial conversion to save on time and effort.

There are various options for facades to be placed in front of existing code - some open source and some commercial. I don't have personal experience with any, but it seems to be a recurring topic (e.g., this thread).
Craig McClendon (Feb 07 2022 at 21:21):
The HAPI (Java) library has a Plain Server that makes it pretty easy to create FHIR facade interfaces without having to worry about all the HTTP parts of the API, serialization, etc. You can read about and see examples here: https://hapifhir.io/hapi-fhir/docs/server_plain/server_types.html
John Moehrke (Feb 08 2022 at 13:45):
@Manjry Satsangi since you specifically mentioned SOAP, I wonder if you are asking about IHE XDS/XCA/XCPD. If so, IHE has defined a FHIR api in the MHD specification.
John Moehrke (Feb 08 2022 at 13:47):
There are vendors and open-source that have addressed this specific MHD->XDS/XCA use-case.
