Ok I have the file going over but the receiving system is only receiving the MSH segments like so.

MSH|^~&|MHYORK|01||MEDENT|200906241149||ORU^R01|17544480|T|2.2^M^^M

It is not getting the rest of the segments between the MSH messages like pid, pd1 orc obr etc. The gentlemen at Medent told me the ^M^^M needs to be in the last line of the last segment before the next MSH segment. I am not sure where the ^M^^M is coming from. Any ideas. Thanks again for helping out.

Thank you William. I did notice that in the help file and I set it to the following.

Seconds 0

Minutes 30

Hours 0-23(I guess I probably don’t need that one)

Day of month 1-7(again probably don’t need but wasn’t sure so I addeded it)

I just configured it. I used advanced sheduling and set the minutes to 30. According to the help file this should send the messages at 30minutes and 0 seconds after the hour. I left an asterisk in the other fields. Is this correct? Thanks for all your help.

I have a file that is put on the cloverleaf box every hour at a quarter after the hour. It goes into it’s own folder.I need to take this txt file and send the hl7 messages to a company called MedEnt every hour at half past the hour. So I was hoping to be able to “pick” up the file 8:30,9:30 etc and send it to MedEnt via tcp if possible.

[Dennis Shirk]

Can I then use  tcp/ip on the outbound thread?

[Dennis Shirk]

I did see that in the help file about how to configure advanced scheduling however I am using the protocol:file on the inbound thread. Because of this there is not a tab to setup scheduling.

[Dennis Shirk]

If I am sending a txt file to an OB tcp thread it will only send when the thread is started correct? If so can I use this proc to make it stop and restart the thread every hour?

[Dennis Shirk]

That is what I am looking to do . I will check out both options then. Thanks Sergey

Hey guys,

I had one of my coworker write up a script in C and he now has all of the data that I need in one ORU message. What we are going to do is have a sql script dump all of the messages to a file with the three different types of messages. Then this C script will run and and pull out the different information that we need and put it all into one ORU message.Then  I can have Cloverleaf send the ORU message to  a company called MEDent. The C script will run on the hour and overwrite the text file from before. My question then is how can set the inbound thread to restart every hour to pick up the new data?

I did -R but the old thread names(threads that I deleted) still show up under status when I click on one of my good threads:(

[Dennis Shirk]

I spoke to soon 🙂 I am now recieving messages to the Outbound file. Thanks for the tips.

Keith,

I tried your suggestions but still got the same result.

[Dennis Shirk]

How do you get old deleted threads out of the staus window?

[Dennis Shirk]

Thanks everyone who replied. I appreciate all the ideas.

[Dennis Shirk]

Thanks for responding. I would also like to hear what others think. The more ideas I get the better 🙂
