Is anyone out there using -the Cloverleaf

Mason,

We are currently sending and receiving sbo data via XML format.

When we started sending /receiving HL7 adt, etc data to and from soarian , we request acking. They did not have ‘application’ level of acking available, at which we requested that they write and MLP protocol as we use this standard.  Siemens built it and it works wonderful with us.

On that note, when we started sending the XML, they asked us to use the MLP protocal. We have been using it, and now they have found issues. There has been some concern raised by Siemens development about the potential size of XML transactions and the buffer size required to transmit them in one data packet into SF. They’ve asked if  Cloverleaf has the ability to accept split packets inbound using the MLLP protocol? I don’t believe that Cloverleaf does and Siemens said that they’ve had these issues with other Cloverleaf customers. This is where it stands.  If anyone has any suggestions that would be helpful, please let  us (Mason and I kmow).

Well, after much conversations back and forth, it ended up being an issue on the vendor side. They were trying to send the message split up in blocks of data, because they did not have the ‘buffer’ size set up high enough, the error was on their side. I never got an error, because they had not even sent the data out for me to even ack or nak on!! Yes the data is suppose to be (MLP encapsulation) – another issue that we had with them and forced them to code on their side.

Thanks for your response.
