HL7 Test Messages

[garry r fisher]

Hi,

Has anyone written anything that will generate HL7 test meesages? Ideally it should send/receive messages to IP sockets.

I’m currently looking at Message Maker an open sourece product on the Internet but thart doesn’t use sockets – its written in Java so I may try and add my own socket interface.

Any suggestions/solutions welcome.

1. define an Frl with one field (does not matter what.

2. Define your HL/7 variant.

3. Define an Xlate with the Frl IB and the HL/7 OB.

4. In the Xlate, create as many OB messages as you want copying literals to the OB HL/7 fields.

Build a file with one record for your Frl.

Now you can either configure an integration with file in Tcp/IP out; or run the Xlate tester saving the outbound to a file then deliver the HL/7 messages created via resend; or….

Thanks Jim – I never thought of the obvious, but my need extends beyond Cloverleaf so a standalone solution like Message Maker would be ideal if it did everything I wanted.
