TABLE 57 Environment - HL7 Outbound Adapter - Sequence Number Protocol
Name Description
Sequence Number File
Location The location of the sequence number file (a local directory). This is required when
the Sequence Number Protocol is enabled. The sequence number folder is a
nonvolatile directory that stores the sequence number files used to persist the
HL7 sequence number. The unique base file name is automatically generated
according to project or Collaboration information.
For the outbound Adapter the file names are created as follows:
ProjectName + DeploymentName + CollaborationName +
ExternalApplicationName + .seqno
For example, prjHL7Outbound_dpOut_jcolHL7Outbound_
eaHL7Outbound.seqno
The default setting is /temp/hl7outbound/seq.
Using the TCP/IP HL7 Predefined Templates
The TCP/IP HL7 Adapter provides several sample Projects to help you customize a solution
using either HL7 V2.x or HL7 V3 messaging. In addition to the HL7 Adapter, these Projects
include several Collaborations that define processing logic in addition to the rules configured
for the Adapter. You can use these Collaborations as a template for the Projects you create for
your own HL7 system.
The following topics provide instructions for copying and customizing HL7 Collaborations:
■ “Prerequisites for the HL7 V3 Sample Projects” on page 97
■ “Creating a Copy of an HL7 Sample Project” on page 98
■ “Customizing Predefined Collaborations for HL7” on page 102
■ “Creating Copies of HL7 Collaborations” on page 102
■ “Adding an HL7 Message Library to an Existing Collaboration” on page 104
The following topics provide information about how the Collaborations are defined and the
functional flow of the Collaborations:
■ “About TCP/IP HL7 V2 Collaborations” on page 107
■ “About TCP/IP HL7 V3 Collaborations” on page 120
Prerequisites for the HL7 V3 Sample Projects
The predefined Collaborations are designed to be extended and modified, however, for HL7 V3
compliant systems this is not necessary. If you need to modify an HL7 V3 Collaboration, it is
strongly suggested that you use these template Collaborations as the basis for any new
