HL7 Acknowledgment — TCP/IP HL7 V2 Outbound Adapter

Provides HL7 acknowledgment configuration settings that control how the application acknowledgment Events are handled.

This section of the TCP/IP HL7 V2 outbound adapter Connectivity Map properties contains the top-level parameters displayed in this table:

Table 81 Connectivity Map - HL7 Acknowledgement

Name 

Description 

Required Value 

Acknowledg-ment Level

Specifies whether the external application is configured to send an HL7 application acknowledgement after successfully receiving the message or after the message has been successfully committed to the application database. The valid levels are: 

  • A: Application acknowledgment. The acknowledgement is sent after the message is successfully and functionally processed by one receiving system.

  • C: Commit (accept) acknowledgment. The acknowledgement is sent when the message is successfully received.

Select A or C.

The configured default is A.

eGate Sends App Acks

Used by both the inbound and outbound Collaboration. 

  • Inbound: Specifies whether the HL7 application acknowledgment sent to the external system is generated by the adapter or forwarded from the app server.

  • True indicates that the adapter receives the external receiving HL7 application acknowledgment from the app server and sends it to the external system.

  • False indicates that the adapter creates and sends the HL7 application acknowledgment directly to the external system.

  • Outbound: Specifies whether the outbound Collaboration is in outbound Delayed ACK role; that is, the outbound adapter is connecting to an external system that communicates as a Delayed ACK receiver and is sending two ACKs to the adapter.

  • True indicates that the adapter is expecting a Delayed ACK (2 ACKS).

  • False indicates that the adapter does not expect a Delayed ACK.

Select True or False.

The configured default is False.

Forward External Acks

Specifies whether the HL7 application acknowledgment is forwarded to the app server. When an HL7 application acknowledgment is received, it is sometimes necessary to forward the contents of the HL7 application acknowledgment to the app server (as data). 

  • True indicates that adapter forwards HL7 application acknowledgments from the external system to the app server for processing.

  • False indicates that HL7 application acknowledgments from the external system are not forwarded to by the adapter.

    This parameter is used for the outbound Collaboration code.

Select True or False.

The configured default is False.

Timeout For Delayed Ack

Specifies the timeout value for delayed ACK in milliseconds. 

This parameter is used for outbound Collaboration code. 

An integer indicating the timeout in milliseconds. 

The configured default is 30000
