Jim and All,

Thank you so much for all your input. You guys are amazing ! I have requested our network folks to see if the ports in the range 50000 – 50200 (which is what UHC has requested for data transfer), is open on the firewall . Right when I thought I was getting close to the finish line, I find that I am only half way through.

I asked UHC support if I would be needing Certificate and below is  their reply …. I think this usergroup can provide UHC a better support from all the experiences they have gained trying to get 278 N working.. 🙂

For your question “Do I need any kind of certificates for authentication ?”  You can find the information you need when you go to our website at https://www.unitedhealthcarecd.com on the right side of the page open the Connectivity DirectorSM EDI Connection System User Guide Version 2.0.7.3 June 2010.  See section 4.4 Programmatically Uploading and Retrieving Data To and From Connectivity Director.    Thank you.

Jim,

I have sent an email to UHC, to see if I need to install any certificates.

Thanks again,

Shibu

Jim,

The rest I have left as default .. Mode is “ClientAnon” and SSL Protocol  is set to “All”

Thanks,

Jim,

As you mentioned correctly, changing ftps to ftp did not do anything. I am connecting to http://ftp.unitedhealthcarecd.com, which I beleive is their production site (I will confirm with them). They told me to ensure that the high range ports are open from the ftp client for file transfers (50,000 – 50,200). So, I set  “ftps-data” in windows services to 50005, but I don’t see any activity on this port 50005 in the logs.  Error 500 on AUTH (Authentication/Security Mechanism) means “unrecognized command” , and I can’t figure what command, sent by cloverleaf, the UHC server could not recognize. I have asked UHC support to tell me more about this error.

I will get in touch with you regarding setting up HTTPS connectivity if this does not work.

Thanks,

Shibu

Hi Jim,

I do not have the ACTIVE mode checked. I also do not have the ‘Host name or IP Address’ entry of the FTP Options filled. I have the ip address in FTP Host information. In ports, I have selected “ftps”, I will change it to “ftp” and see if that makes any difference. I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you so much !

Jason,

You could also echo a display statement (through the Xlate preproc) before each PATHCOPY, and then check the log to see after which display statement/echo message you get the error. The pathcopy after that echo should most likely be the one with the issue.

Thanks,

Mark,

Looks like the loop is overwriting the value with each iteration. May be your should copy the OBR.4 values to a variable, and then concat the variable to the PV1.5 field.

Thanks.

dont you need “set root” before set site ?

Sam,

you are right. I worked with eGate before and it does not use field length either. eGate uses the data types CM,CE,CN,CX et al, but there is no field length for hl7 messages. It is good to see that cloverleaf follow the HL7 standard so closely. At the same time, it also gives the flexibility to modify the field length, if needed.

If every sending/receiving system follow the hl7 standards, there won’t be any need to change the field length in the engine.

Thanks,

[Shibu Mathew]

Sam,

If you look closely , you will see that each of the cloverleaf HL7 field length and type matches with the standard HL7 field length and type.

For ex: Message Control ID, MSH.10 has field length 20 and the data type is “ST”. If you look at the HL7 2.3/2.4 ADT specs (defined by hl7.org), you will find the same.

Thanks,

Victor,

If the A08 is for an already discharged patient, it will be indicated in the  message. I believe it will be in the PV1.41_Account Status field (or PV1.36 Discharge disposition). You can use the value in this field to stop the A08 from going to the external system.

Thanks,

Hi Krishna,

I am running cloverleaf 5.7 on Windows server 2003, service pack 2.  I  apply all patches on the test server first, watch all process logs and error files closely for a week or so, and then apply the same patches on the production servers.

Thanks,

Kevin/Robert,

yes, I am trying to do an IF based on the value in  MSH.9.2.  I will try using the [1] in the translate and see if that works, if not I will use CE instead of CM.

Thank you.

Jennifer,

Sorry, I didn see this post earlier.. What I have is a simple ftp which picks files from serverA and ftps them as is on  serverB, and deletes the files from ServerA.

I do not have any value for TPS directory parse or deletion(see attached screen shots). I pick the files, and on the “tps outbound data” of the outbound thread, I am calling the script “tps_set_obfilename_eq_ibfilename.tcl” I found here  (I called it OutputFilename).  this works fine… If I have 10 files in the inbound dir on serverA, they are transferred to the specified dir on serverB, and removed from the inbound dir on serverA.

Thanks.
