Monitoring HL7 External System Connection Status : Outbound Mode

This feature is meant to monitor the connectivity status of external systems from the Enterprise Manager GUI when the HL7 Adapter is deployed in the outbound mode.

• HL7 Adapter emr plugin has been extended to provide the monitoring external system connection status

• Provision is included in the Enterprise Manager GUI for monitoring the HL7 external system connection status

• Click on the monitoring HL7 external system connection link. A scheduler thread is invoked which executes periodic monitoring action. The default monitoring period retrieved from the HL7 adapter we bapplication's deployment descriptor web.xml

• In case they have to supply their own monitoring period, they have to stop the current monitoring thread.

Code in Web.xml

<!--  Default monitoring period used in monitoring the 
external system connection  -->

<param-name>monitorperiod</param-name>
<param-value>2000</param-value>

Executing a Sample Project : Outbound Mode

Create a sample project to use the uploaded HL7eWay.sar

To Execute a Sample Project for the Outbound Mode

1. Install HL7eWay.sar file to Sun Java CAPS Repository.

   For steps, see Sun Adapter for TCP/IP HL7 Tutorial.

2. Start the NetBeans IDE. Use the NetBeans PlugIns Manager to install the HL7 adapter nbms to NetBeans IDE.

3. Re-start the Netbeans IDE and establish connection to the Sun Java CAPS Repository.

4. Create a CAPS Environment for the prjHL7Outbound project.

   

5. Import the sample HL7 project prjHL7Outbound.zip that is bundled with HL7eWay.sar into NetBeans IDE

   

6. Create Deployment Profile and select Check Out...

   The Check Out... option enables the user to modify the created Deployment Profile for prjHL7Outbound.

   1. Enter the Deployment Profile Name and select the Environment from the drop-down menu.

   2. Choose the Used Connectivity Map cmHL7Outbound by selecting the check box.

   3. Click OK.

7. Click Automap button to map the created environment files.

   Note –

   Ensure to start the GlassFish V2 sever before deploying.

8. Click Build to build the project.

   The following message indicates that the build was successful.

   Project buld was successful (elapsed time: 13.687 seconds).

   

9. Click OK.

10. Click Deploy button to deploy the project onto GlassFish V2 Application Server from NetBeans IDE.

    The action displays the following message.

    Porject deployment successful (elaspsed time: 45 seconds).

11. Repeat steps 11 through 17 of prjHL7Inbound. See Executing a Sample Project : Inbound Mode.

12. Open a Web Browser and login to the Enterprise Manager at the following path:

    http://localhost:portnumber

    The default portnumber is 15000.

13. Click Refresh Rate

    The illustration is as shown.

    

14. Expand the tree from the Explorer frame of the eManager GUI. Select the prjHL7Outbound/Deployment1/cmHL7Outbound/eaHL7Outbound external system.

15. Select the Monitor external Connection action of the tree from the jcdHL7Outbound —> eaHL7Outbound frame.

    This triggers an executor thread that monitors the external system connection. The user observes the latest status in the GUI.

    The screen is displayed as shown.

    

16. Click Stop Monitoring to exit the listening of TCPIP Server Monitor Task.

    The Monitoring Period is displayed in milliseconds.

17. Execute the sample project using HL7 Listener.

    Here, is a sample illustration.
