Once you have “indexed” a Tcl proc (using mktclindex) you can call it by name from any other proc.

You can view the output of mktclindex in $HCISITEDIR/tclprocs/tclIndex  That will show you the proc name and the file to “source” (load into memory) when the proc is first called.

That said, there are several different structures for…Read more

It depends.  Does the keyed list need to survive a restart of your Cloverleaf process or thread?

If not, you can use a global variable to store the keyed list.

Or even better, put it in a namespace.

Based on ‘#!/hci/bin/bash’ I’m guessing you are running on Linux.  Correct?

Can you provide any detail on the ifactive script that gets called from cron before running hcisitedoc?

Is there a way to directly access the hash map (possibly as an array or dict)?  Or do I need to parse gvprint to see the entire list of available gv’s?

You can test sqlite from an command line like this.  Count the number of records in the smatdb, where smatdbname is the full file name, encryptionKey is your encryption key.

Code:
>sqlite smatdbname
sqlite> PRAGMA KEY="encryptionKey";
sqlite> select…Read more

Warning:  Using this on an unencrypted database immediately encrypts the database.  See Charlie Bursell’s hcismatdb for a great example of how to cautiously open encrypted smatdb’s.

This script (written for AIX) uses Tcl sqlite library routines to display MessageContent.  The SELECT statement could be altered to whatever metadata fields you want to view.  See https://www.sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html

Is anyone aware of documentation that details how to use these announced features?

Is your .smatdb encrypted?  That might be the issue with not finding the smat_msgs table.

Once you solve the encryption issue you may want to use something like:

If you have a keyed list myKL, are you looking for something like:

There is a lot of structure to PDF files that we don’t have built-in tools for in Cloverleaf.  There’s not much detail here about your requirements, but you might want to check out a package like pdf4tcl.  Make sure whatever you use to actually write the file is has binary mode set.  If you are going to embed the PDF in an HL7…Read more

We tested both methods recently on CL 6.2.0.1.  Inter-process communication worked very well at normal message volumes.  When we stress tested the system, they bogged down.  At extremely high message volumes, inter-process communication took an order of magnitude longer than using IP hops.

I prefer not to use IP hops…Read more

Cloverleaf 6.2 introduces “global variables” – not to be confused with any other global variables – that would work very well for this.  Probably still need an xltp proc to read the global variable and use it to set your xlate variable.

Can you please provide more detail on the SCP issue.  I installed 6.2 on AIX 6.1 server and have not had any trouble with SSH/SCP.

Pros:
– You can easily monitor what is in the “queue” by…Read more

If you really are checking for a field with 1 space character in it, your code is much clearer if you copy 1 space character into a variable (like @space) and then use:
IF 0(0).PD1(0).#4(0) eq @space

One of the things I really like about Cloverleaf is that you can still do pretty much anything from a command line.  That means you can get as creative as you want with scripts like STOP_ALL_INCOMING_THREADS and STOP_ALL_SITES.  (I tend to use ALL CAPS for script names like these to discourage running them inadvertantly in production.)

I have not used this with Global Monitor, but if you can write a Tcl alert you should have everything you need.  One approach would be to use an alert_note directory.  Every time you want to trigger an alert, create a file in the alert_note directory.  Your Tcl alert checks for files in the directory.  If found, it returns the contents as…Read more

Your TrxID proc sets whatever routes you want and you build those into your NetConfig.  So if your TrxID proc returns “A” for everything you want on one route and “B” for everything else, you put A and B as the routes in your NetConfig.  Usually more informative route names are used, but it is entirely up to you.

If you don’t care about trailing zeroes you can use
MATH DIV
InitialValue
=100.

Note the decimal point is significant in the 100.  It instructs Tcl to use floating point instead of integer arithmetic.

If you look at the contents of the .idx file you will see there is a certain amount of “fixed” overhead for each message that does not depend on message size.  The .msg file exactly corresponds to the the sum of the message sizes (plus 10 bypes per message for length encoding).

I have not done much work with SMATdb, but I assume the ratio…Read more

Our approach to something like this is to save the original message into metadata and chain threads together.  Use the first thread to get the Session ID and save it to metadata also.  Pull in the original message from metadata and add the Session ID as needed, then pass it on to your destination using another thread.  Tcl is definitely…Read more

The libcurl documentation describes CURLOPT_QUOTE which is exactly what I need.  The engine doesn’t recoginze that option when I put it into the NetConfig cURL Options tab.

It also doesn recognize the PREQUOTE or POSTQUOTE options, although CURLOPT_VERBOSE works fine.

Tried that one too.  Adding CURLOPT_QUOTE to NetConfig produces:

fset:init:WARN/0:  thread_name:01/15/2016 07:04:35] pcoGetCurlOptConfig: unsupported cURL option ‘CURLOPT_QUOTE’ for user

In your example, the OBX segments are in the same order in both the original and final message.  If that is what you want, you can do the whole thing in a translate without Tcl code.

The trick is to iterate twice through the OBX segments.  The first time through you set a counter to the highest OBX that contains data, but don’t send…Read more

The notes are misleading, at least for CL versions 5.8 and 6.0.  You can use any email address you like in the FROM field including president@whitehouse.gov.

This seems like this is something Cloverleaf should provide similar to the generic Ack for HL7 messages, but I did not find an X12 equivalent.

I assume you want to create a TA1 acknowlegement as a REPLY message.  If your message runs through hciX12splitinterchange first, some of the work is done for you and stashed in metadata (like…Read more
