Table 55 Environment - HL7 Outbound Adapter - TCPIP Outbound Settings

Name 

Description 

Host

The host name or IP address used to establish a TCP/IP connection. This property is only used when the Connection Type is set to Client. The default value is localhost.

ServerPort

An integer between 0 and 65535, indicating the port number of the TCP/IP destination. This is dependent on the value set for Connection Type. If Connection Type is set to Server, it indicates the port number on the local host; if Connection Type is set to Client, it indicates the port number of the external host.

Backlog

An integer indicating the maximum length of the queue for incoming connection requests when creating the server socket. When a connection indication arrives and the queue is full, the connection is refused. 

This parameter is only used when Connection Type is set to Server.

Connection Mode

An indicator of how the Adapter connects to the external system. Select one of the following options: 

  • Automatic – The Adapter connects to the external system during initialization based on the connection settings (host and port number) defined in the environment. This enables dynamic connections

  • Manual – The connection settings are provided in the Java Collaboration through method calls, so the connection is done manually.
