TABLE 57 Environment- HL7 Outbound Adapter- Sequence Number Protocol
Name Description
Sequence NumberFile
Location
The location ofthe sequence number le (a localdirectory). This is required when
the Sequence NumberProtocol is enabled. The sequencenumber folder is a
nonvolatile directory thatstores the sequence number les usedto persist the
HL7 sequence number.The unique base le name isautomatically generated
according to projector Collaboration information.
For theoutbound Adapter thele names are created as follows:
ProjectName + DeploymentName + CollaborationName +
ExternalApplicationName + .seqno
For example,prjHL7Outbound_dpOut_jcolHL7Outbound_
eaHL7Outbound.seqno
The default settingis /temp/hl7outbound/seq.
Using the TCP/IP HL7 Predened Templates
The TCP/IP HL7 Adapter provides several sample Projects to help you customize a solution
using either HL7 V2.x or HL7 V3 messaging. In addition to the HL7 Adapter, these Projects
include several Collaborations that dene processing logic in addition to the rules congured
for the Adapter. You can use these Collaborations as a template for the Projects you create for
your own HL7 system.
The following topics provide instructions for copying and customizing HL7 Collaborations:

functional ow of the Collaborations:

Prerequisites for the HL7 V3 Sample Projects
The predened Collaborations are designed to be extended and modied, however, for HL7 V3
compliant systems this is not necessary. If you need to modify an HL7 V3 Collaboration, it is
strongly suggested that you use these template Collaborations as the basis for any new
