Hi all - quick question.

Is the following OID expected to be invalid? urn:oid:1.2.3

As of 10/30/2024

• Currently getting invalid OID error message > "OIDs must be valid (1.2.3)"
• If it is expected to be invalid, can someone explain why?

As of 11/01/2024

• Issue is no longer occurring
• Did something change? If so, is there a place to know when and what was last updated?

Regarding invalid OIDs, this thread may help: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/channel/291844-FHIR-Validator/topic/Issue.20with.20OID.201.2E3.2E2

Sounds like the validator or tx.fhir.org (not sure which is responsible for checking this) rejects short OIDs. Though grahame did say that the slightly different "1.3.2" should work. I do not know anything about OIDs or what is special about 1.3.2 though.

Regarding errors around fhir r6-ballot -- something changed with packages being loaded it sounds like, and the older version of the validator that is running in this service can't handle it. We have a ticket to update the version of the validator that this runs, but I'm not sure how soon we'll be able to get to that. FYI @dehall

Much appreciated on that zulip link Rob. I was curious if any thread existed but didn't find one on my own so tried here 1st. We've adjusted code on our to do a length check. Much appreciated on this info

Okay cool - this sounds good

• I did notice that the 1.2.3 OID no longer fails as of today and I can't seem to make it fail at all at the moment
• But the Inferno Service Base URL Test Kit is still failing for the 1.2.3 OID which is informative to know
