This section describes how to test the outbound channel application using the Minimal Lower Layer Protocol (MLLP).
The _hl7ack() iFL function is used in the outbound MLLP process flow. This function parses a HL7 acknowledgement message to return a specific element value. It uses the following format:
_hl7ack(query[,defaultValue])
For more information on using this function, see _hl7ack(): Parse HL7 Acknowledgement Message.
The _hl7ack() iFL function will return "AA", "AE", "AR", "CA", "CE", "CR" acknowledgement codes. Based on this code the acknowledgement will be stored in different locations.
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.
