Youcan congure the TCP/IP HL7 Adapter properties in the following locations:
■ConnectivityMap: These properties most commonly apply to a specic component
Adapter,and may vary from other Adapters of the same type in the Project.
■EnvironmentExplorer: These properties are commonly global, applying to all Adapters of
thesame type in the Project. The properties are shared by all Adapters in the TCP/IP HL7
ExternalSystem window.
■Collaboration:Many TCP/IP HL7 Adapter properties can also be set from a Collaboration,
inwhich case the settings override the corresponding properties in the Adapter’s
congurationle. Any properties that are not overridden retain their congured default
settings.
Addinga TCP/IP HL7 External Application to aConnectivity Map
Tocreate a TCP/IP HL7 Adapter you must rst add a TCP/IP HL7 External Application to the
ConnectivityMap. A TCP/IP HL7 Adapter is automatically created when you link a TCP/IP
HL7External Application and a Service. Services are containers for Java Collaborations,
BusinessProcesses, Data Integrator processes, and so on.

▼ToAdd aTCP/IP HL7 External Application

Createa Connectivity Map for the Project, and add a Service to the Connectivity Map.
Onthe Connectivity Map toolbar, click the External Applications icon.
SelectHL7 External Application from the menu.
ATCP/IP HL7 External Application icon appears on the Connectivity Map toolbar.
Dragthe new HL7 External Application icon from the toolbar onto the Connectivity Map canvas.
Tobindthe External Application with the Ser vice,do one of the following:
■Ifmessages are entering from the HL7 system, drag a link from the HL7 External Application
tothe Service.
■Ifmessages are being sent from the Service to the HL7 system, drag a link from the Service to
theHL7 External Application.
TheTCP/IP HL7 Adapter appears on the link.
