Sun Adapter for TCP/IP HL7 User's Guide

Generic HL7 Message Libraries

The generic HL7 Message Libraries are version-agnostic structures used to send and receive HL7 messages, acknowledgements, and negative acknowledgements (NAKs). They provide the Collaboration with only the essential fields for implementing the HL7 protocol. If you need to perform functions that are specific to a version or message type, you can add the appropriate Message Library to the Collaboration.
