Adding HL7 Extensibility Attributes From the WSDL Editor

You can add HL7 extensibility elements from the wizard when you create the WSDL file. After the WSDL file is created, you can add extensibility attributes by entering the text directly or graphically in the WSDL Editor

To add Service Level HL7 Extensibility Attributes

1. Open the HL7 Binding WSDL file in the WSDL Editor and expand the Services -> hl7wsdlService -> hl7wsdlPort nodes.

2. If the type of element you want to add (address, protocolproperties, or communicationcontrols) does not appear in the list, right-click the hl7wsdlPort node, point to Add and then select the type of element to add.

   A new node is added under the hl7wsdlPort node.

3. To add an address element, do the following:

   1. Right-click the hl7wsdlPort node, point to Add and then select HL7 Address.

      A new hl7:address element appears in the list.

   2. Right-click the new element and then select Properties.

   3. Configure the address extensibility attributes, and then click Close.

      For more information about these attributes, see HL7 address Element.

4. To add a protocolproperties element, do the following:

   1. Right-click the hl7wsdlPort node, point to Add and then select HL7 Protocol Properties.

      A new hl7:protocolproperties element appears in the list.

   2. Right-click the new element and then select Properties.

   3. Configure the protocolproperties extensibility attributes, and then click Close.

      For more information about these attributes, see HL7 protocolproperties Element.

5. To add communicationcontrol attributes, do the following:

   1. If the communicationcontrol element does not appear in the list, right-click the hl7wsdlPort node, point to Add and then select HL7 Communication Control.

      A new hl7:communcationcontrols element appears in the list.

   2. Right-click the hl7:communicationcontrols node and then select Add communicationcontrol.

      A new hl7:communicationcontrol is added under the hl7:communicationcontrols node.

   3. Right-click the new element and then select Properties.

   4. Configure the communcationcontrol extensibility attributes, and then click Close.

      Configure the following attribute properties. For more information about these attributes, see HL7 communicationcontrols Element.

      • name: Specifies the attribute.

      • value: Specifies the value associated with that attribute.

      • enabled: Specifies if the attribute is enabled.

      • recourseAction: Specifies the recourse action associated with the attribute.

        The recourse actions are:

        • Reset: Closes the connection with the HL7 external system and throws an alert.

        • Resend: Resends the last sent message to the HL7 external system.

        • Suspend: Closes the connection with the HL7 external system, suspends the endpoint from processing the messages, and throws an alert.

        • Skipmessage: Remains connected but writes the message to an error queue.

        • Error: Throws an Exception.
