Tclproc echos not seen

[Johnny Anderson]

CL v5.8, Sun Solaris 10, HL7 v2.3.1

For site1 I have tclproc1 that shows echos when run under the testing tool, but when run under runtime thread (Route Messages,HCI_static route,Raw, Proc name), no echos. During debugging, I went to site2 and ran tclproc2. It shows echos for testing tool and runtime thread. I copied tclproc2 to site1 and run. Has echos for testing tool but not runtime thread. Tclproc1 and tclproc2 are identical and thread configs are identical. I searched the forum and found “Xlate Log Errors” Aug 2010 discussing EO config but no solution was given. I reviewed our EO configs and they’re all identical and I couldn’t find anything about echos. Here’s the tclproc:

proc copy_hl7_file {args} {

       echo ”

---

Tclproc copy_hl7_file begins

---

“

       echo ” “

       echo ”

---

Tclproc copy_hl7_file ends

---

“

} ;# proc-end

Johnny,

Since I have done this in the past I am not being snide when I ask about making sure you are looking in the correct process log for the echos 😳

I’ve attached the log showing process “process_log_process” and the thread config for “process_log_process” (2 slides).

Johnny,

When you added the Tcl proc to the route did you cycle the process to have the proc picked up?

Also run with EO up and see if the engine is invoking your proc.

1. Q: When you added the Tcl proc to the route did you cycle the process to have the proc picked up?

    A: No but did it today then a rerun, no echos, didn’t see a proc, log is attached.

2. Q: Also run with EO up and see if the engine is invoking your proc.

    A: See attachment, is enable_all correct? Then I did the rerun.

I renamed the thread and process to better names.

Greetings,

From my understanding with some of our Operating Systems staff, the implementation of the “echo” command varies per platform.

Try using the TCL command “puts” and see if your statements appear in the process logs.

Just a thought.

Good luck.

[Johnny Anderson]

Jim- if I understand correctly, you said this tclproc must be associated with an xlate. I went to Thread Config and changed the process name to one that has an xlate.  Test has no echos. I have another site with the same config I’ve described here and the runtime test has echos.

Bob- the “puts” didn’t work, thanks anyway.

Johnny,

No I said I did not see a message in the log you presented. Unless there is a message to route, the pre-route proc will not get invoked thus no echos (also no indication in the log the proc was invoked).

If you actually did have a message go through the routing then for some reason it did not show up in the log and that is quite unusual with EO enable all.

Gentlemen:

Just another thought here:  if the Tcl program is in the Pre or Post

Route upocs in the Xlate thread configuration and you want Start Mode logic to execute at startup, you need to check the “Run translation procs in start mode” box within NetConfig > Process > Configure.

Enjoy.

BobR, that fixed it, thanks.  I knew about this check box because I have setup similar tclprocs in other processes’ correctly.  In my original post on Apr 30, I stated “Tclproc1 and tclproc2 are identical and thread configs are identical”, I should have taken one more step and handled the “process” config. 😀
