Thanks James.

What do you suggest for the read/response timeout on the FTP Options tab?  I have it set to 3.  

I also had the Close Connection After Write checked which I think was wrong and slowed us down.

I am having this same issue.  I am working with lab charges and about 20,000 charges are dropped about 1:30am.  I have many xlates on the front end with several pre-procs (creates a charge file) and then another xlate with no pre-procs ; it takes every charge we get and generates a tab delimited file on another server via the ftp protocol which we then feed into a crystal report.  This file (with no pre-procs) seems to take forever to process. The charge file I’m guessing some nights is done 2hrs before the crystal file which has taken  6 hrs.  In my ftp protocal fileset options I have the read interval set to 3 and the max messges set to 2000.  The outbound is style nl which I’m pretty sure I needed that format for the crystal file.  In my charge file ftp options I have the read interval set to 5, max 2000 and outbound file stype hl7.    

How can we speed this up?  Thanks.

Keith,

 I tried what you suggested as:

                 keylget args MSGID mh

 set ibMsg [msgget $mh]

 set batch_list [split $ibMsg n]

 foreach msg $batch_list {

if [regexp — {^MSH} $msg {}] {

  set nmh [msgcopy $mh]

  msgset $nmh $msg

  lappend dispList “CONTINUE $nmh”

echo “SENDING message”

}

 }

on both the TPS inbound and a pre-proc on the route and nothing came through.

Levy,  your post makes sense regarding the RawHL7ack and getting the AR messages back.  I liked your suggestion of writing the messages to a file and then having Cloverleaf pick the file up.  I tried it.  I actually changed my prod object to kick out the headers and only send the MSH messages.  Best I can figure is even though I look in the acquistion log and see carriage returns after each message type, they must not be there.  The first time I sent the whole file (didn’t kick out the headers) and all I got was the first FHS in my logger file.  The second time when I kicked the headers out and just wanted the MSH messges I got nothing in my  logger file.  I can’t get my hands on this batch as it’s dropped out of connectr from GE.

Thanks.

Hi,  

 Thanks for the replies but I am unable to split the batch into separate messages as I believe this other process is dependant on that format.  I’ve hit a wall.

Hi,

I need to check if a field is null or contains 2 blanks (purposely put there).  I assigned a temp variable @2blanks to =”  ” or  =  <— 2 spaces here.

Then depending on if MyMod ne @2blanks ….do something  I get a tcl error no matter which way I try.

MESSAGE 1

[0:TEST] QDX_Tcl_SplitList({ ) failed: unmatched open brace in list

Internal XPM Tcl error

QDX_Tcl_SplitList failed:: unmatched open brace in list

Suggestions?  Thanks.

Making progress.  If I look at my charge via the SMAT file it looks good.  

CLM1    04637   EPRESCRB        2090314 TH      Y                       GT              2090314         Y

CLM2            V709

SV1001  281             20120514                510909                                  0001    000000000+      281

                               CC      000     10

But I look at the file on the backend I see this:

CLM1    04637   EPRESCRB        2090314 TH      Y                       GT              2090314         Y

CLM2            V709

SV1001  281             20120514                510909                                  0001    000000000+      281

                               CC      000     10

mc_echargemc_echarge{CONNID 0} {IPVERSION 4} {CLIENTIP 10.201.229.29} {CLIENTPORT 49684}

Is this something I have to turn off in the Network Configurator?  Thanks.

Jim helped me discover my issue.  I had 2 threads pointing to 2 different processes. Changed the processes to be the same, cycled and I received my desired output.

Thank you Jim!!

[Mary Bodoh-Stone]

I changed the FRL to VRLs and am now getting data in my testing tool.

Below is a sample:

— Begin VRL Segment CLM1 —  

Length of Repeat Field:         50

Repeat Field Offset from Field: 0

              CLM1: ch >CLM1<

          Customer: nm >04637<

           DataSet: ch >EPRESCRB<

     SortIndicator: nm >2090314<

          Function: ch >TH<

       AutoRelease: ch >Y<

         Guarantor: nm >123456<

I then configured my xlate into the NetConfig and ran a test charge through.  I wrote the output to a logger file.  It looks like the whole HL7 message is being written to the very first field in the VRL depending on what detail level I use in the format option.  Output looks like this:

              CLM1: ch >MSH|<

          Customer: nm ><

           DataSet: ch ><

     SortIndicator: nm ><

          Function: ch ><

       AutoRelease: ch ><

  SupPatientNumber: nm ><

   TransactionCode: ch >GT<

I must have something configured wrong? Thanks.

Thank you everyone; I have it working now.

[Mary Bodoh-Stone]

I’m reading this and maybe I still haven’t made it clear.  For example, I have a value of 401 and I want to keep the 4; or 542 and I want to keep the 5.  Thanks.

[Mary Bodoh-Stone]

David,

I actually want the very first digit only.

[Mary Bodoh-Stone]

No…my input side is a value of 401 and my output value is the same.  I am expecting/wanting a 4.

[Mary Bodoh-Stone]

Hi Jim,

 I tried this… no error but it’s not working either; thanks alot.

set xlateOutVals [ list [ string range [ lindex $xlateInVals 0 ] 0 0 ] ]

or

set xlateOutVals [ string range [ lindex $xlateInVals 0 ] 0 0 ]

Neither works; thanks.
