The IBM FHIR Server enables user defined and implementation guide defined SearchParameter definitions and is constantly improving Specification conformance. Given these dynamic changes, the IBM FHIR Server Search parameter values may require refresh to optimize the Search and Retrieval of the data in the operational data store.
A quick tool to aid in this is fhir-bucket
Let me show you how to run reindexing with the IBM FHIR Server container Docker: ibmcom/ibm-fhir-server. This feature requires 4.9.0 or higher.
Recipe
- Prior to 4.9.0, build the Maven Projects and the Docker Build. You should see
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSafter each Maven build, anddocker.io/ibmcom/ibm-fhir-server:latestwhen the Docker build is successful.
mvn clean install -f fhir-examples -B -DskipTests -ntp
mvn clean install -f fhir-parent -B -DskipTests -ntp
docker build -t ibmcom/ibm-fhir-server:latest fhir-install
- Download the fhir-server-config.json
curl -L -o fhir-server-config.json \

- Download the extension-search-parameters.json
curl -L -o extension-search-parameters.json \

- Start the Docker container, and capture the container id. It’s going to take a few moments to start up as it lays down the test database.
docker run -d -p 9443:9443 -e BOOTSTRAP_DB=true \
-v $(pwd)/fhir-server-config.json:/config/config/default/fhir-server-config.json \
-v $(pwd)/extension-search-parameters.json:/config/config/default/extension-search-parameters.json \

9c44ad49784a6ca6456799ab63aea460fc564cc4a9bd5f4fef1aeae4b82225bd
- Check the logs until you see:
docker logs 9c44ad49784a6ca6456799ab63aea460fc564cc4a9bd5f4fef1aeae4b82225bd

- Download the Sample Data
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/FHIR/main/fhir-server-test/src/test/resources/testdata/everything-operation/Antonia30_Acosta403.json \
-o Antonia30_Acosta403.json
- Load the Sample Data bundle to the IBM FHIR Server
curl -k --location --request POST 'https://localhost:9443/fhir-server/api/v4' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/fhir+json' \
--user "fhiruser:${DUMMY_PASSWORD}" \
--data-binary "@Antonia30_Acosta403.json" -o response.json
Note, DUMMY_PASSWORD should be previously set.
- Scan the response.json for any status that is not "status": "201". For example, the status is in the family of User Request Error or Server Side Error.
cat response.json | jq -r '.entry[].response.status' | sort -u
201
- Search maiden-name = Graciela518 Badillo851, and you’ll see the reindexing completes and the search succeeds.
curl --location --request GET 'https://localhost:9443/fhir-server/api/v4/Patient?maiden-name=Graciela518 Badillo851' \
--header 'X-FHIR-TENANT-ID: default' \
--user "fhiruser:${DUMMY_PASSWORD}" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' -k

}
- Download the extension-search-parameters.json with an example expression.
curl -L -o extension-search-parameters.json \
