Third-party Validation

HIPAA PM allows your system to validate data using third-party services such as EDIFECS and Foresight.

When you import the xengine.jar and xe_extensions.jar files (see Initializing and Running Enterprise Designer) into your Logical Host directories, you enable validation through the EDIFECS XEngine.

For complete instructions on how to set up EDIFECS to validate HIPAA data, as well as how to use the EDIFECS XEngine, see the following Web site:

http://www.edifecs.com

From this Web site, search under EDIFECS XEngine for information on how to enable and use this feature to validate HIPAA data.

You need to create an environment variable XEROOTthat will contain the installation path of the EDIFECS XEngine.

HIPAA PM allows you to set outbound messages to be sent without Business Message Syntax validation, to speed up message processing. However, inbound message validation is always required.

To Set Up Foresight to Validate HIPAA Data

For complete instructions on how to set up Foresight to validate HIPAA data, see the following Web site:

http://www.foresightcorp.com

After you have installed the Foresight engine, do the following:

1. Create a new file,TI.csv using the SamplePartnerAutomation.csv file.

   For more information about the SamplePartnerAutomation.csv file, refer to the Foresight documentation.

2. Copy the TI.csv file to the HIPAAValidatorInstream/Bin directory.

3. Open the fsdir.ini file in an editor and modify the parameter PARTNERAUTOMATION.

   1. Remove the colon that is present before the parameter PARTNERAUTOMATION.

   2. Replace the SamplePartnerAutomation.csv file with the TI.csv file.

      PARTNERAUTOMATION="C:\ProgramFiles\HIPAA Validator Instream\Bin\TI.csv"

4. To start the application server on UNIX, you need to set the following Environment variables:

   1. Add the following path to the environment variable FSINSTREAMINI.

      ...ForesightInstallDir/Bin

   2. The LIBPATH(AIX), LD_LIBRARY_PATH(Sun OS), or SHLIB_PATH(HP-UX) needs to contain the value of the FSINSTREAMINI variable.
