Stopping the Collaboration with a Fatal Alert

When the Exit recourse action is triggered it logs the error that caused the action. It also shuts down the Collaboration, which in turn causes the HL7 message to roll back, and then sends an alert to the Enterprise Manager.

The Exit Recourse Action calls the fatal alerter in the Collaboration:

alerter.fatal(’’error message’’,’’HL7’’);

The argument error message is the user-configured alert message. The argument HL7 is the source component (this must be “HL7”).

The alerter.fatal("error msg", "HL7") method is only applicable to the packaged TCP/IP HL7 Collaborations.

The Exit recourse action should be applied to any error condition that requires human intervention to correct an error. Once the error condition is resolved, the Collaboration can be restarted from the Enterprise Manager.
