Difference in XLATE results under LINUX QDX5.5 vs AIX 5.5

[Sundeep Kumar]

We are migrating to LINUX QDX5.5 and I am observing a issue in an XLATE. The destination variant has an [{NK1}] in it and the XLATE itself does a path copy on NK1. Now under QDX5.2 AIX testing tool we always seem to get a NK1 segment put out irrespective of wether the incoming message (ADT_A04) has NK1 or not. However under QDX5.5 Linux it does not put out that NK1 when it is absent from the incoming HL7, which seems to jive with what one would expect.

Has Anyone seen such a difference in XLATE results under LINUX QDX5.5 Vs AIX QDX5.2 ? I have included a image snapshot of the xlate and the variants.

I would bet this is more a variant problem.

The OS would have little to nothing todo with a message at this level.

Check your Variants. Make sure they got moved and or defined the same on both systems.

John,

Thanks for your suggestion. I looked at the formats and we were using the default 5.2 (integrator/formats) for ADT_04 for both input and output. I do not want to change the 5.5 formats with the 5.2 formats if possible. As of yesterady our support was saying that this may be a QDX5.2 bug that never got patched and 5.5 is running correctly!

Take a look at this post it. It sounds like you are experiencing the same thing because it’s a repeating.

I would not be surprised that this is associated with using pathcopy with a repeating field or segment.  They have done a lot of work on pathcopy between 5.2 and 5.6.  

Just know that for good or ill, the way it worked in 5.2 is incorrect. 🙄
