Wildcard Routing

[Felix Ortiz]

I am having trouble setting up a wildcard route an I hoped I could get some help.

Our main clinical system sends ADT from a single port that need to be routed to various ancillary systems.   We decided to do out filtering/routing in a tps.  Based on a variety criteria we determin which ancillaries get the msg.  Example. ADT_A01 will go to blood blank, dietary, housekeeping, etc….

In our first tps we stermin which systems it goes to and for each we create a new msg and insert a “route” into the metadata.

We have a custom TrxId routine that takes the meta data and creates a TrxId.  Example BBANK^ADT^A01.

All of this works currently, but as you can imagine there are 30 plus route defined in the inbound thread.  BBANK^ADT^A01,HMHLTH^ADT^A01,etc..

I wanted to reduce the number by using wilcards.  

BBANK^ADT^A[1-8] since they all use the same Xlate anyway.

I cannot get this to work.  here is a sample from the test tab.

######## TRXID: BBANK^ADT^A08

04/20/2006 10:14:27

[xlt :rout:ERR /0:  UNNAMED_TID] No routes defined for TrxId ‘BBANK^ADT^A08’

#### Is the output from the TrxId script.

Wildcard routing is checked and I am running 5.1 on Aix 5.1.

Help.

Hi,

How have you defined your route? I can never remember the syntax but you need to define the route using the wildcard syntax. I think you need to use either:

BBANK^ADT^A* or possibly

BBANK^ADT^A..

Just like this BBANK^ADT^A[1-8].  it was more complex, but I kept reduce it until ihad the most basic.

Hi,

Shouldn’t it be:

BBANK^ADT^A0[1-8]

If you are not restricted by the numeric boundary try one of the other options I suggested.

Felix,

I think all these will work.

BBANK^ADT^A0[1-8]

BBANK^ADT^A*

BBANK^ADT^A..

Also, don’t forget to check the “Wild Card Route” checkbox.

Thanks

BBANK^ADT^A0[1-8]

Worked like a charm.  I don’t know why I missed the 0.
