Thanks Max!

One note – the activestate link doesn’t work as is  – due to a trialing period included in the link.

To use, copy the link into your browser and delete the period.

Femina,

I think Jim has an interesting idea.     Try to find out if it would be ok to send a complete separate message for each of those OBRs you would build.

If yes, build a separate route for each possibility (A., B., C., D….), and have the translate in that route just make the needed adjustments specific to that route to the original OBR.

[Gene Salay]

To dumb it down a little …

(because clarity can save time in the future)

(although this is admittedly bigger and slower),

… you could do something like this:

Copy {OBS,NRY,OOB,OBV} to @RightOnes

Copy 1 to @Trash

….

Copy 0(0).PV1(0).#10(0) to @ThisService

If @RightOnes ct=@ThisService

Copy 0 to @Trash

If @Trash

 Suppress

We also have a custom version of raw_hl7_ack that simply sends an ack even if the message doesn’t start with MSH.   I don’t seem to have the procs Robert is referring to.

After we send the ack, we also convert the batch to single messages.   For us, this works better at the destination by helping us match exceptions to the specific transaction instead of the batch as a whole.

Using MOVEit here too.  (James – I’m very interested in how your IFs interact with it.)

In general, managed file transfer (MFT) can offer a lot of accessible functionality to your customers, remove barriers, create efficiencies, etc.    I continue to be amazed at the extent we use MOVEit.

At the time (2006), I also found Sterling Commerce attractive for its BPM features.  Apparently IBM shared my taste (they bought it).  Too pricey and outside our scope at the time.   I still think our org may well have found those features a great facilitator of business processes.

Tom,

Most systems will be consistent and always put the ID in PV1-7.1 and the name in PV1-7.2

That aside, if you’re trying to determine if a field is numeric or alpha, you can use the tcl command “string is…”.

In Xlate, you could do something like this:

set inFld [lindex $xlateInVals 0]

set outFld $inFld

if [string is alpha $inFld] {set outFld 1}

set xlateOutVals

Try this site for a quick reference on TCL:

Thanks David, but not entirely.     Apparently it WAS working for Ron?

Is it possible to install a later TCL on your CIS box?

And again, can anyone answer why searching for 8.5 in Clovertech fails?

Thanks!

[Gene Salay]

Ok, I’m feeling like the dunce in the room.   Can anyone answer this: How, back on Tuesday April 19, 2011, were Ron Ridley and David Harrison using TCL 8.5 to get the -format option to work for the clock command if, on Saturday, November 3, 2012, TCL 8.5 is still not included in Cloverleaf?

[Gene Salay]

Also, why can’t I search for “8.5” on Clovertech?

[Gene Salay]

What version of Cloverleaf began support for TCL 8.5?

[Gene Salay]

This code doesn’t seem to work in 5.8 on AIX with TCL 8.4.    

Did the -format option for clock scan pass away at some point?

[Gene Salay]

One way to check multiple NetConfigs at once is to use an editor like Boxer that allows you to open files via FTP.    Boxer allows you to define a “project”, which can consist of multiple files.   When you open the project it opens all the files you want at once.   Then do a find across all open files.

[Gene Salay]

I recently started having a loading delay like that, coincident with a network change.    That may have been unrelated.

Bouncing the monitor daemon using hcisitectl is what worked for me.

[Gene Salay]

We use symbolic links at the level so the entire site is on another Unix mount point.

[Gene Salay]

Dawn,

We’re definitely interested in sending one to Level 3.

Thanks!
