Procedure: How to Test the Inbound Channel Application Using MLLP
  1. Use one of the tools to send messages to a specified port (for example, 7Edit, Telnet Client), set the sending port to 778, and then send the HL7 message to that port, as shown in the following image.

  2. Configure a receiver port (for example, 12001) to receive the ACK file through the MLLP emit, as shown in the following image.

  3. Observe the transformed XML output under the EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_in\IB_TransformGood location, as shown in the following image.

  4. Monitor the reports under the EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_in\IB_report, as shown in the following image.

  5. Observe the Acknowledgement in the EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_in\OB_Output location, as shown in the following image.

  6. If the input data contained any errors, you can review this error data in the output directory that you have configured for error handling (for example, EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_in\IB_Error).
  7. After inbound processing has completed, a copy of the input data that was used during the transformation is stored under the archive directory that you specified (for example, EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_in\IB_Archive).
