We do a lot of interfaces like this, but we use Windows file shares instead of FTP to access the PDFs, and we use TCL TPS procs to read the files into the message. We mount the Windows file shares to our Linux Cloverleaf server using CIFS mounts in fstab. Also, I’ve run into so many problems dealing with binary files in Cloverleaf, that I prefer to use a command like this to read in the pdf:

set pdfData [exec base64 -w 0 < $filename]

This puts the data in a variable in an Base64 ASCII encoded format that you can copy directly into a field in the message.

You could probably do the same thing if you mounted the FTP server the files are on to your Linux Cloverleaf server using the FUSE filesystem type.

You may be calling hcisetenv incorrectly. Here’s an example of a script that works:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
export CL_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/cloverleaf/cis2022.09
export HCIVERSION=2022.09
export HCIROOT=$CL_INSTALL_DIR/integrator
export FPATH=$HCIROOT/kshlib
setroot $HCIROOT
setsite live_ord_res
hcicmd -p cprof -c “cprof_out pstop”
hcicmd -p cprof -c “cprof_out_qa pstop”

Which X server are you using? Are you using Exceed, Mobaxterm, AIX console, Xorg or something else? You could switching X server software.

I’d keep troubleshooting. I don’t think HTTPS is the answer.

[David Barr]

I don’t think we have any HTTPS connections from Cloverleaf to Epic. We do have HL7 connections from Cloverleaf to HL7 listeners in Interconnect. Those are sometimes tricky to troubleshoot. You have to set up routing tables and point to them with the IC_IN_TABLE in system defaults. We have multiple levels of routing. The first table routes on message type and it points to other tables that route on either sending application or sending facility.

How are you calling the TCL proc?

 

[David Barr]

That sounds very tricky. Normally that’s done with two pairs of threads: order_ib -> order_ob, result_ib -> result_ob. I wouldn’t recommend your pattern. Acknowledgements are going to be going over these interfaces as well, and it seems like they’re going to get mixed up with the messages.

[David Barr]

You can also add “-c” to your hcidbdump command if you want to see TCL errors.

Is there a document with release notes for 2025.01? I found the release report which is an Excel document. Is there anything more readable? The spreadsheet doesn’t make it easy to find release highlights; you have to wade through descriptions of minor bug fixes, etc.

[David Barr]

If you run the IDE from Linux, the shell button opens up an Xterm window. If you’re using MobaXterm or other software that tunnels you GUI traffic over SSH, then it should be secure.

[David Barr]

We’re on Rackspace for our servers, so Cloverleaf is sort of running in a cloud, but not the Infor cloud.

You can use \T\.

[David Barr]

You could always add a “msgdump $mh” command in your script for more debugging information. It should add messages to the process log to show you if the message has been modified, and if the msgdump output isn’t showing up it would indicate a problem getting your interface to run the script (not applied in the GUI or process not restarted).

[David Barr]

The code looks fine to me, and if the testing tool says that it works, then your actual interface is probably still running the old code. I think you can “reload procedure” through the gui to apply your change, but I always just restart the process where the proc is getting run.
