Jeff –

Not by our choice necessarily, but yes, we are using an A01 and converting it into the 278 requested by UHC. We have not successfully passed this to UHC, so chances are, this is not final!

If you want me to e-mail the *xlt, let me know.

For what it’s worth – I prefer to use wild card routing. I’d rather just send the messages that the specific receiver wants, than to use static routing, and have to kill messages that are not desired.

Thanks, guys! We used Max’s code and it did the trick!

[Kathy Riggle]

To the best of my knowledge and experience, yes. I have this principle in place on several translations and have never had the messages get out of order.

It is truly embarrassing when you miss the most obvious of answers!  😳

My regsub script was working OK — my protocol was wrong. Yep, John, you hit it right. I was adding the nl there, instead of using the eof protocol. DUH!

Thanks everybody! 😀

John,

I put something similar in place as an OB tps. It worked between the segments, but I ended up with an extra CR at the end of each message.

We do ftp the file to our financial system, where it choked on the extra CR.

We’re trying to get a meeting set up to be able to do this. I’ll be interested in watching this post. I will share what I can find out.

Thanks – I’m going to try this!

[Kathy Riggle]

Charlie –

Thanks. I did look at regsub, but wasn’t sure if that was the right way to go. I appreciate the assist!

Charlie –

Thanks for the protocol information. My next issue is how to count the segments.

Kathy

[Kathy Riggle]

If you just need to remove all underscores, will this work?

regsub -all — {_} $xlateInVals {} xlateOutVals

[Kathy Riggle]

Max,

What does your xlateInVal look like?

The answer really depends on the lab vendor. If they can accept all different type of messages on one thread, and if they will send all message types on one outbound thread, you’re fine. Whether orders get routed to the reference lab or to one of the foreign labs, cloverleaf can handle that routing.

One thing to consider {a.k.a. “my two cents”} in having a limited number of threads in/out of the lab system is message volume. If you have several sending systems, sending multiple message types, the message volume may be such that it is advantageous to have more threads for load distribution.

[Kathy Riggle]

If I couldn’t get out of doing it (is there really no other way to monitor?) then yes, what I would do is an  _HCI_static_route_, raw.

I’m not sure it will work for you, but I am using ftp for a similar purpose. I ftp into the other unix server, cd to the directory then “get” the file I need.
