Procedure: How to Test the Outbound Channel Application
  1. Copy and then paste your input XML file to the output directory that you have configured (for example, EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_out), as shown in the following image.

  2. Look for the acknowledgement message in the EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_out\OB_Output directory.

  3. Look for the validation report to be received in the output directory that you have configured (for example, EDIHL7_Accelerator\HL7_out\OB_report), as shown in the following image.

    Validation reports contain valid (good) or invalid (bad) HL7-formatted data, copies of the input files, and any error messages that may have occurred during the transformation. Typically the name of the validation report can inform you if the transformation has passed or failed. You can also configure the outbound processing to write the data to two different file locations, one for valid date and the other for invalid data.

  4. 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_out\OB_Error).
  5. After outbound 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_out\OB_Archive).
