Platform: AIX 7.2

When running a “service down” scenario on an interface using an outbound protocol thread configured using the java/ws-client protocol, I found that if the web service can’t be reached, the HL7 message is sent to the error database without the message content and with the HTTP error in the User Data…Read more

After some extensive testing using both suggestions, the solution I chose to use was Charlie’s suggestion to read in the whole file using the “single” setting and create new messages from each one in the file.  The load on the engine was not as big as I thought it would be doing it that way and even the larger multi-MB…Read more

I have an issue I could use some advice on.  Those in Texas who use ImmTrac to report vaccines through their unidirectional FTP interface might be able to relate.

The goal I am trying to accomplish is to download a file containing acknowledgment (ACK) messages from an SFTP server using an inbound fileset-ftp protocol thread.  The s…Read more

I’ve been searching this site for quite a while and can not seem to find any example code for writing a dirparse or deletion TPS proc.  I’m needing to write one to grab files from a FTP server with the criteria of modified date same as current date and with a specific naming convention.  Additionally, files read in by Cloverleaf s…Read more

Xlate #1 does a pathcopy on all of the segments of the MDM^T02 message which do not need modification.  It also uses the String action to map the .br to a ~ (tilde) in OBX-5.

Xlate #2 then does another pathcopy on…Read more

What I need to do is exactly the same as in this old thread.

After Jonathan showed that all parameters that are entered in the Java class ‘Args’ box can be accessed with userArgs object, the Cloverleaf 19.1 documentation made more sense.

I can’t say anything specific is missing from the documentation, but my complaint with the documentation in general is its lack of real world examples.  The…Read more

Java Class: ScriptTPS

Args: {LANG python} {FILE Tps_py_template.py} {FUNC __MODULE_NAME__}

There has got to be an ARGS parameter or something that tells the…Read more

One more question for you.  How do you supply the userArgs to the Java class ‘ScriptTPS’?

Thanks for your input. After following your instructions,  I was able to use easy_install but I can’t get pip to work.  I think I just need to read more about pip to get it to work though.  I’m new to the whole Python world and the Jython piece is raising the learning curve since I know nothing about Java.

Using easy_install though, I…Read more

Here is what I did to get a 3rd party Python library called ‘python-hl7’ to work from hcipython.  I will create a new thread for an issue I am having running Python scripts as a UPoC.  More on that later.

According to the 19.1 documentation, the Python s…Read more

• ai = integer
• ch = string
• ts = timestamp

I also noticed that Cloverleaf appears to do some kind of mapping between HL7 data types and the hci data types.

What is also interesting is that the integer comparison operators…Read more

I’ve been experimenting with the global variables in an XLT proc and found three different data types for the xlateInTypes and xlateOutTypes: ai, ts, and ch.  Doing some experimentation with integer and string comparison operators in an IF statement inside of a translation, I found that ‘ai’ and ‘ch’ use the integer operators, but the…Read more

I’m attempting to use the fileset-ftp protocol with Advanced Scheduling to SFTP a file containing a week’s worth of messages, but Cloverleaf seems to want to SFTP each message as its own file no matter what settings I use in the Outbound pane of the Fileset Options tab.

The SFTP process works just fine, but how do I configure an…Read more

The change with the error DB got me thinking about the recovery DB.  Is the application of this update destructive to the recovery DB?  There is a good chance we will have data in the recovery DB during the…Read more

Set the inbound protocol to use binary mode (FTP protocol properties, FTP options tab, Data Type: image/binary).

Thank you David!  That solved the problem!

The problem when I try coding this, is that it appears another loop is necessary to count the number of OBX…Read more

There is a lot more to this story than I originally thought and too many unknowns to complete troubleshooting.  I was, and still am in a way, trying to troubleshoot a problem that occurred about a month ago.  

The inbound example I provided has a corresponding outbound message that went out correctly on…Read more
