HL7 SFT Segment — TCP/IP HL7 V2 Outbound Adapter

Provides HL7 SFT Segment configuration settings. The SFT segment is available starting with HL7 version 2.5. This segment provides additional information about one or more software product used as sending applications. The primary purpose of this segment is for diagnostic use. There may be additional uses per site-specific agreements.

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

Table 85 Connectivity Map - HL7 SFT Segment

Name 

Description 

Required Value 

Enable

Specifies whether the optional SFT segment is enabled in the ACK message. 


Note –

If enable is set to true, and the HL7 version is not configured as 2.5, the adapter will error upon startup.


Select True or False.

True indicates that the SFT segment is enabled.

The configured default is True.

Software Vendor Organization

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-01, the name of the company that publishes and/or distributes the sending software that created the transaction. The purpose of this field, along with the remaining fields in this segment, is to provide a more complete profile of the sending applications.

The Software Vendor Organization field identifies the vendor who is responsible for maintaining the application. 

The name of the sending software publisher or vendor. 

The configured default is Sun Microsystems, Inc.


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.


Software Certified Version or Release Number

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-02, the Software Certified Version or Release Number: the latest software version number or release number for the sending system. This helps to provide a more complete profile of the application that is sending or receiving HL7 messages.

Version numbers are important in identifying the specific _release_ of an application. In some situations, the receiving application validates the software certified version or release number against a list of “certified” versions or releases of the particular software. This helps determine whether the sending application adheres to specific Business Rules required by the receiving application. Alternatively, the software may perform different processing, depending on the version of the sending software. 

The software certified version or release number. 

The configured default is 6.0.0.


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.


Software Product Name

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-03, the name of the software product that submitted the transaction. The software product name is a key component for identifying the sending application.

The sending software product name. The default value is HL7 adapter. 

The configured default is Sun TCP/IP HL7 adapter Intelligent Adapter.


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.


Software Binary ID

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-04, the Software Binary ID. This property is available starting with HL7 version 2.5. Software Binary IDs are issued by a vendor for each unique software version instance.

These IDs are used to differentiate between differing versions of the same software. Software IDs are issued for each unique software version instance. Identical Primary IDs indicate that the software is identical at the binary level, but configuration settings may differ. 

The unique Software Binary ID. 

The configured default is 6.0.0.


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.


Software Product Information

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-05, software product identification information. This may include a description of the software application, configuration settings, modifications made to the software, and so forth. This field can contain any additional information about the sending application, with the transaction it has submitted.

This information is used for diagnostic purposes and may provide greater flexibility for identifying the application software. 

Information that may help to identify the specific sending software. This field should only be used when performing diagnostics. 

The default value is It is a JCA adapter for HL7 over TCP/IP connection.


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.


Software Install Date

Specifies HL7 segment SFT-06, the Software Install Date. This is the date on which the submitting software was installed at the sending site. the software install date on its own can often provide key information about the behavior of the application. This is necessary for providing a more complete profile of the sending application.

The date of installation for the sending application software. 


Note –

This property applies to HL7 version 2.5 or HL7 version 2.5.1.
