Configuring the Profile Validation Server

When you create a FHIR endpoint, an external server named FHIR_Validation_Server is created to perform back-end functions related to profile validation.

This server requires a Java 11 development kit. If your JAVA_HOME environment variable does not point to a Java 11 directory, you can use the Management Portal as follows:

If necessary, install a supported Java 11 JDK. Make a note of the directory where it has been installed.
In the Management Portal, navigate to System Administration > Configuration > Connectivity > External Language Servers.
If the FHIR_Validation_Server is running, click Stop.
Enter edit mode by clicking FHIR_Validation_Server.
On the Edit External Language Server page, in the Java Home Directory field, enter the path to your Java 11 directory.
Click Save.
Restart the FHIR_Validation_Server by clicking Start.
To ensure good performance when you execute validation operations related to previously-imported profiles (including those that are automatically imported), in the Terminal application, switch to your FHIR-enabled namespace and execute the following command:
```
do ##class(HS.FHIRServer.Installer).InitializeProfileValidator()
```

Note:

Do not set the JAVA_HOME environment variable directly to enable the FHIR_Validation_Server; doing so could affect other applications and processes that may rely on the previous value of JAVA_HOME.
