How to: |
An HL7 acknowledgment service (XDHL7AckAgent) is used to generate acknowledgment messages using predefined rules. The acknowledgment service chooses ACK/NACK status based on the validity and verification status of the received HL7 message. The generated acknowledgment message can then be sent using the default path of the listener.
To configure the HL7 acknowledgment service:
The Services pane opens, as shown in the following image.
The provided table lists any existing services and a short description for each.
The Service Type pane opens, as shown in the following image.
The configuration parameters pane for the HL7 acknowledgment service opens, as shown in the following image.
The following table lists and describes the available parameters for the HL7 acknowledgment service that can be configured.
