Testing Cloverleaf 6.0 on AIX

I am testing 6.0 vs 5.7 patch 2 on our test box.  I have the  ‘save outbound messasges’ box checked.  When I look at the saved messages, there is a line of text just before the MSH segment:

DFT_To_CernerT0216_From_PyxisDFT_To_CernerT0216_From_PyxisMSH

Any idea how to suppress that text?  The messages are formatted as expected but the leading test seems a bit odd to me.

Thanks.

Don’t look at the raw .msg files if you don’t want to see it. The current version stores metadata along with the message.

There’s a utility called hcismatconvert to convert a file back to the old format, or you can use hcismat to convert the files to length encoded.

Thanks.  I remember seeing about the metadata but never connected the two!

One of the ways we’ve tested upgrades in the past is to send production inbound SMAT files through the test/upgrade inbound thread, and then doing a diff against the outbound SMAT files.  We’re planning on doing a 5.6 to 6.0 upgrade this summer.  Will that methodology still work if we use these utilities?

In my sig is a link to msg parsing scripts (msgExtract). One of the scripts quickly converts smat file to newline files. It’s a nice way to do parsing and diffs. The scripts also removes the metadata.
