Topic: convert STU3 to R4
Katarina (May 09 2019 at 13:42):
I want to convert profiles from STU3 to R4? Forge does not do it. Does anyone know of any other tool for this? Or do I have to write R4 ressources completely new? Many Thanks.
Grahame Grieve (May 09 2019 at 13:46):
pretty much completely new
Katarina (May 09 2019 at 14:02):
Since I do not have too many profiles, this may work.
Is it possible to create R4 profiles derived from base profiles in STU3? The German basic profiles are only available in version STU3 until now.
Grahame Grieve (May 09 2019 at 14:13):
no because the underlying content models are different - ask on the German stream
Stefan Lang (May 09 2019 at 15:25):
@Katarina The German base profiles will be converted to R4, including the change requests resulting from the second "for-comment" ballot.
This will happen during the next couple of months.
But anyway, as Grahame wrote, feel free to ask any questions in https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179183-german-(d-a-ch)

@Stefan Lang Thank you for the great information. That helps me. So I'll wait a bit with my R4 conversion.

Katarina, the way profiles are communicated and stored (StructureDefinition) has not changed a lot, so you could start by opening a few of your profiles in an editor, and change the "fhirVersion" element from 3.0.1 to 4.0.0 and see what happens. I figure this will work for most, and Forge will signal where there are errors, so you can correct them. Correct, @Michel Rutten ?
Michel Rutten (May 09 2019 at 20:50):
Correct. Forge will flag any non-compliant (removed/renamed) elements and allow you to remove them.
Michel Rutten (May 09 2019 at 20:51):
Breaking changes in ElementDefinition.type may cause some issues.
Katarina (May 10 2019 at 09:35):
Thanks to @Ewout Kramer and @Michel Rutten . I will try that.
