Components of the iWay Integration Solution for EDIHL7

IP Properties

Port*

The TCP port where MLLP messages are received.

Local Bind Address

Local bind address for multi-homed hosts. This parameter is usually left blank.

Persistent Connection

If set, the connection is maintained until client closes or the Persistence Timeout expires.

Maximum Connections

Maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed. When this threshold is reached, new connections will not be accepted until current connections have ended and the total number of connections is below the limit. Leave blank or set to zero for no maximum.

Persistence Timeout value in Minutes

Maximum length of time (in minutes) that a connection can persist with no activity. 0 or blank will default to 60.

Set Response NoDelay

If true, disables Nagle's Algorithm on the response. This will result in faster line turnaround at the expense of an increased number of packets.

Reuse Address

If true, when the connection is closed, immediately make the address available, bypassing the TCP defaults.

Allowable Clients

If supplied, only messages from this list of fully qualified host names and/or IP addresses are accepted. Enter as comma-separated list or use FILE().

Secure Connection

Use a secure connection over SSL.

SSL Context Provider

iWay Security Provider for SSL Context. If this component is secure and SSL Context Provider is left blank, then the default provider will be used.

MLLP

Start Block Character

The encoding of the Start of Block character in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal format. The default is 0x0B.

End Block Character

The encoding of the End of Block character in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal format. The default is 0x1C.

Maximum Input Size

Maximum number of bytes read before the end of the message is found. This prevents denial of service attacks with very large messages or a large number of bytes between messages.

Tuning

Multithreading

Indicates the number of worker threads (documents or requests) that iWay Service Manager can handle in parallel. Setting this to a value of greater than 1 enables the listener to handle a second request while an earlier request is still being processed. The total throughput of a system can be affected by the number of threads operating. Increasing the number of parallel operations may not necessarily improve throughput.

The default is 1.

The max value is 99.

Maximum Threads

The parallel threads can grow to this count automatically on demand. Over time, the worker count will decrease back to the multithreading level. Use this parameter to respond to bursts of activity.

Optimize Favoring

Use this option to customize how the listener performs. For smaller transactions, select performance. For large input documents that could monopolize the amount of memory used by iWay Service Manager, select memory.

Events

Failed ReplyTo Flow

Name of a published process flow to run if a message cannot be emitted on an address in its reply address list.

Dead Letter Flow

Name of a published process flow to run if an error cannot be emitted on an address in its error address list.

Channel Failure Flow

Name of a published process flow to run if this channel cannot start or fails during message handling. iWay Service Manager will attempt to call this process flow during channel shut down due to the error.

Parse Failure Flow

The name of a published process flow to run if XML parsing fails for the incoming message.

Channel Startup Flow

The name of a published process flow to run prior to starting the channel.

Channel Shutdown Flow

The name of published process flow to run when the channel is shut down.

Other

Whitespace Normalization

Specifies how the parser treats whitespace in Element content. Select preserve to turn off all normalization as prescribed by the XML Specification. Select condense to remove extra whitespace in pretty printed documents and for compatibility with earlier versions.

Accepts non-XML (flat) only

If set to true, the input data is sent directly to the business logic step. The data is not preparsed, parsed, or validated. This flag is used primarily to send non-XML to the business logic or replyTo without processing it.

Execution Time Limit

The maximum time that a request may take to complete. Used to prevent runaway requests. Any request that takes longer to complete than this value will be attempted to be terminated.

Default Java File Encoding

The default encoding if the incoming message is not self-declaring (that is, XML).

Agent Precedence

Sets the order by which iWay Service Manager selects agents. iWay Service Manager selects the agent or agents to process the document by searching through the configuration dictionary. Usually, it looks for a document entry in the configuration and when a match is found, the agent specified in that document entry is selected. If a matching document entry is not found, or no agent is specified, the engine looks in the input protocol configuration (listener). To have the processing agent taken directly from the listener (thus ignoring the document entry), use <listener> overrides <document>.

Possible values are <document> overrides <listener> and <listener> overrides <document>.

The default value is <document> overrides <listener>.

Error Documents treated normally

If set to true, error documents are processed by any configured preemitters.

Listener is Transaction Manager

If set to true, agents run within a local transaction.

Record in Activity Log(s)

If set to true, activity on this channel will be recorded in the activity logs, otherwise the activity will not be recorded.

AES Key

If the channel will receive encrypted AFTI messages, set the AES key (maximum 16 characters) to be used for decrypting.

Startup Dependencies

A comma-separated list of channel names that must be started before this one is called.

timestamp

Select true from the drop-down list to write a timestamp to the log file. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Template

The pattern used to lookup a document inside the Ebix. The following format is used:

HL7_%_^toXML.xch

where:

%

Represents the message type.

^

Represents the version.

Timestamp

Select true from the drop-down list to write a timestamp to the log file. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Z-segment

Controls how Z-segments should be formatted in the output XML document. If this parameter is set to false, then the fields and components in the segment are not parsed. By default, this parameter is set to false.

For more information, see Support for Z-Segments.

Segment

Select true from the drop-down list to add the name attribute to the segment. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Composite

Select true from the drop-down list to add the name attribute to the composite. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Element

Select true from the drop-down list to add the name attribute to the element. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Input Message

Select true to add the input message to the generated validation report.

Output Message

Select true to add the output message to the generated validation report.

Sending Application *

The name of the sending application.

Sending Facility *

The name of the sending facility.

Control ID *

The Control ID for the message.

Mode *

Select one of the following acknowledgment modes from the drop-down list:

• Original
• Enhanced

The default value is Original.

Acknowledgment *

Specify when an acknowledgement message should be generated by selecting the corresponding value from the drop-down list:

• Always
• On Error
• On Success

The default value is Always.

timestamp

Select true from the drop-down list to write a timestamp to the log file. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Host *

The machine name or IP address of the MLLP destination.

Port *

The designated TCP/IP port that is being used to receive MLLP messages.

Secure Connection

Select true from the drop-down list if you want use a secure connection through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). By default, this parameter is set to false.

SSL Context Provider

If configured, specify the name of an available iWay Security Provider for SSL Context. If the Secure Connection parameter is set to true and the SSL Context Provider field is blank, then the default provider will be used.

Set TCP No Delay

If set to true, then Nagle's Algorithm on the client socket will be disabled. This will result in faster line turnaround at the expense of an increased number of packets. By default, this parameter is set to false.

Socket Timeout

The timeout value in seconds. When a non-zero timeout value is specified, a read() function call on the socket will block for only the amount of time specified (in seconds). If the timeout expires, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is generated. The default timeout is dependent on the operating system being used.

Persistence

If set to true, then iWay Service Manager (iSM) is instructed to maintain the connection.

Persistence Timeout value in Minutes

The maximum length of time (in minutes) that a connection can persist with no activity. If this parameter value is zero (0) or left blank, then the default is set to 60 minutes.

Retry Count
