Elexis-Server

The Elexis-Server is a headless variant of the Elexis desktop application. It is an entire rewrite, based on Equinox and an alternative persistence implementation based on EclipseLink.

Current snapshot binaries are available at download.

Configuration

While Elexis-Server is can be operated on both Windows, MacOS and Linux, development is heavily focused on usage within the Linux operating system. We additionally focus on operation using Debian 8.

Required files

For correct configuration the following files are required to be located in ${user.home}/elexis-server. The directory elexis-server will be created on start if not available.

  • shiro.ini
  • elexis-connection.xml

You may just copy the bundles/es.core/shiro.ini and bundles/es.core.connector.elexis/rsc/devel/elexis-connection.xml to ~/elexis-server and modify them there.

Operation

In order to start up elexis-server the enclosed shell script linux-start.sh should be used. This creates a local telnet socket on port 7234 bound to the OSGI console.

On Windows use the provided script win-start.bat. To install telnet client to access the OSGi console see Microsoft help.

Be aware that the used Elexis database must contain a row with the param "locale" and a value corresponding to your system locale in the table config. Or you will see in the ~/elexis-server/logs/elexis-server.ERROR.log a line like

20:26:59.350 ERROR i.e.s.c.c.e.i.ElexisEntityManager - System locale [de_CH] does not match required database locale [null]

After you should be able to see the uptime of the elexis server, if you visit with your browser http://localhost:8380/services. It should report something like Uptime: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 min, 19 sec

Now you must install the FHIR REST feature by opening a telnet console via telnet localhost 7234 and calling es_p2 features install info.elexis.server.fhir.rest.core.feature.feature.group Now it should be possible to visit with your browser URLs like http://localhost:8380/fhir/Patient?name=TestPatient, which should start a window containing something like

Console commands

Elexis-server bundles partially provide console commands to be executed:

  • Core es (status | launch | system)
  • P2 es_p2 (system | repositories | features)

Example installing the FHIR REST feature:

  • es_p2 executeUpdate update with the newest versions from the p2 site
  • es_p2 features install info.elexis.server.fhir.rest.core.feature.feature.group install the feature
  • es system halt halt the running elexis server, restart using a start script
