Seems like I remember using a command line tool years ago that created a temporary tcp/ip sender or receiver process that could be used to send or receive HL7 messages to/from a Cloverleaf process without having to modify the NetConfig and adding a temporary thread. I can’t for the life of me remember the command or how it was used. Can someone refresh my memory? -- Max Drown (Infor)

That could be it. I’m not sure. Code:Usage: hcitcptest [-h hostname] [-f file] -t tcp_encoding_type -p port
Where:
-n = run in non-interactive mode, do not read from stdin
should only be used in server mode
-h = an optional hostname to connect to
If -h is not specified, hcitcptest will
work as a server, listening on the port
specified by the -p option-f = an optional filename. All data recieved
from the host will be written to this file.
(Including any encoding characters)-t = tcp_encoding_type
one of:
2 2 byte length encoding
2e 2 byte length encoding (exclusive of encoding)
4 4 byte length encoding
4e 4 byte length encoding (exclusive of encoding)
orsos ORSOS 2 byte length encoding
mlp HL7 MLP encoding
raw Data is sent “as-is” w/ Line Feed
nlf Data is sent “as-is” w/o Line Feed-p = port to listen on or connect to
How would that be used to send HL7 to a Cloverleaf thread?

Max, I will check with one of my colleagues. He did get the command to use a file which had HL/7 as input when using as a client I think.
Typically I use hcitcptest just for connectivity testing before I set anything up in Cloverelaf(R). After all, If I can’t connect via the command line utility, why waste time defining the NetConfig entry?

Jim: Your memory was correct that I used hcitcptest to send a HL7 message and here is the script I found that illustrates what I you referred to earlier:
Code:#!/usr/bin/ksh
ip=’10.123.123.123′
port=’31022′hcitcptest -h $ip
-t mlp
-p $port <<- ! MSH|^~&|the rest of the message segments !I think I’ve also done interactive resending using hcitcptest by copying message to buffer and pasting into hcitcptest. However, I might of had to change the
to r before doing the interactive copy/paste. A couple of tries should get you there if this is useful for you. I have found it very usefull when wanting direct control to test connectivity, resend time out, and NAK behavior. Russ Ross

hl7_sndr: Portnum is required and must be > 1024 Usage: hl7_sndr -r portnum -f filename
-b burstno -n nodenm -w t_delay
where: portnum – is the tcp port number to use
filename- is the filename to read data from
burstno – number trans to send before wait
nodenm – name of node to connect to
t_delay – delay in seconds between batches
hl7_rcvr: Portnum is required and should be > 1024 Usage: hl7_rcvr -p portnum -f filename -[c|a]
-e ae_freq -r ar_freq -w ack_dly -m ack_dly_type
where: portnum – is the tcp port number to use
-c|a – commit or application ack’s
filename – is the filename to store data in
ae_freq – frequency to send AE NAKs
ar_freq – frequency to send AR NAKs
ack_dly – delay in seconds before AA ACKs
ack_dly_type – HL7 msg type to delay on
