TABLE57 Environment- HL7 Outbound Adapter - Sequence NumberProtocol
Name Description
SequenceNumber File
Location
Thelocation of the sequence number le (a local directory). This is required when
theSequence Number Protocol is enabled. The sequence number folder is a
nonvolatiledirectory that stores the sequence number les used to persist the
HL7sequence number. The unique base le name is automatically generated
accordingto project or Collaboration information.
Forthe outbound Adapter the le names are created as follows:
ProjectName +DeploymentName +CollaborationName +
ExternalApplicationName + .seqno

eaHL7Outbound.seqno
Thedefault setting is /temp/hl7outbound/seq.
Usingthe TCP/IP HL7 Predened Templates
TheTCP/IP HL7 Adapter provides several sample Projects to help you customize a solution
usingeither HL7 V2.x or HL7 V3 messaging. In addition to the HL7 Adapter, these Projects
includeseveral Collaborations that dene processing logic in addition to the rules congured
forthe Adapter. You can use these Collaborations as a template for the Projects you create for
yourown HL7 system.
Thefollowing topics provide instructions for copying and customizing HL7 Collaborations:

Prerequisitesfor the HL7 V3 Sample Projects

Thepredened Collaborations are designed to be extended and modied, however, for HL7 V3
compliantsystems this is not necessary. If you need to modify an HL7 V3 Collaboration, it is
stronglysuggested that you use these template Collaborations as the basis for any new
