Quick Start, Tutorial, or Both?

The HIPAA PM product includes a complete sample implementation, included in the HIPAA_ManagerDocs.sar file, that allows you to see the end results without having to go through all the design steps.

If you import and set up this sample scenario, as described in this chapter, you can see run-time results quickly without having to read detailed instructions.

The tutorial in Chapter 6, HIPAA PM Sample Scenario Tutorial, on the other hand, provides a detailed hands-on guide to creating all the sample components, including some procedures that are not specific to HIPAA PM. This chapter gives detailed, instructional procedures and more specific examples.

Table 5–1 compares the purposes and tasks of the two approaches.

Table 5–1 Comparing Quick Start and Tutorial

Approach	Purpose	Tasks
Quick Start	This “load and go” method provides the quickest route to seeing HIPAA PM in action with eXchange.	Import the sample Projects; create the DPs and build/deploy the Projects; view initial results; run the sample scenario; experiment with passing and monitoring message data.
Tutorial:	This “up close and detailed” method provides complete steps for creating, configuring, and monitoring the working HIPAA PM business scenario provided in the sample.	Create the necessary Environments and Projects; add and configure all components to be used (for example, OTDs, HIPAA PM components, BPs, and Connectivity Maps), build/deploy the Projects; view initial results; experiment with passing and monitoring message data.

If you use either the quick-start or the tutorial approach, do the procedures contained in this chapter first. In this way, you can use this chapter as a general guide and reference to gain essential background knowledge, before you begin the tutorial in Chapter 6, HIPAA PM Sample Scenario Tutorial.
