Read in pipe delimited report. Create & Discharge appoit

[Charles Kageni]

The aim is to achieve the following

-Read the file into the interface line by line (set in the thread settings)

-For each message (line of the file)

Create an appointment:- post  /appointments/create

Discharge the appointment :- put  /appointments/{appointment_id}/discharge  

The contents of the file have Lname|Fname|apt_time|type|phone_number|DOB

Sample message

MOUSE|MICKEY|2018-01-15T13:10:44.979-05:00|04/17/1988|1234567890

Currently using static values which is hard coded, but I’d like the file to be read line by line when making the appointment via an API call.

{DATA {{“hospital_id”:1234,”first_name”:”MOUSE”,”last_name”:”MICKY”,”apt_time”: “2018-01-11T13:10:44.979-05:00″,”type”:”walkin”,”phone_number”:”1234567890″,”dob”:”01/07/1939″}}}

Any suggestions shall be appreciated.

thanks,

Chuck

Well it looks like the records of the file can be defined as a VRL.

Then assuming common record terminators (like Line feed or Carriage Return) the Fileset Protocol can be defined to locate, open, and read the file.

Each terminated line then would be made available to the engine.

You did not say the format of the outbound message but you can use an Xlate to create the OB message assuming it is a definable format.

As to the OB protocol, it sounds like this may be an http connection. Is that correct?

Also what release of Cloverleaf are you running?

The OB is also set to PROTOCOL:fileset-local

Cloverleaf 6.1 version

Is the format of the OB file the same as the IB file?

If not what is the desired format for the OB file?
