Outbound Standard Messaging Mode

The following steps describe the process for the Outbound Standard Message Mode:

1. An HL7 message triggers the Collaboration. The outbound Collaboration is designed to accept the HL7 messages.

2. The Collaboration maps the received message into the Generic Event Message Library and validates the MSH segment. If validation is enabled, the Collaboration checks the MSH segment of the outbound messages against MSH values configured in the Adapter properties file. If the validation fails or the message cannot be parsed, the message and its error are written to the error queue. Note that the HL7 message is always checked for structural correctness.

3. The Collaboration sends the message to the RA.

4. The RA envelopes the message and sends it to the External System and waits for an ACK.

5. The Collaboration receives and validates the ACK, and then journals the ACK and the HL7 message (if journaling is enabled). If the Collaboration receives a NAK, the NAK and the HL7 message are sent to the error queue.

6. Finally, the Collaboration commits the JMS receive.
