E2B Extensions (Applicable for R2 only)

You can use the existing reporting destination configuration to choose an extended E2B profile. The system uses the agency and company identifier to identify the profile to use and sends the information in the following XML elements:

<messagesenderidentifier>Company X</messagesenderidentifier>

<messagereceiveridentifier>Agency Y</messagereceiveridentifier>

The Oracle Argus Interchange utility also supports the defined extended E2B elements as follows:

  • A switch in the Interchange utility identifies a profile as either a standard profile or an extended E2B profile but only for the Receive tab. The additional fields are formatted as follows:

    <XXX>_EXTENSION []

    where:

    XXX is the tag name followed by _EXTENSION to indicate that this is an extended E2B tag element

    When using this switch:

    • Do not enter any blank spaces or underscore characters ( _ ) in the XXX naming convention.
    • In the extended E2B tags, the element number in the brackets ( [ ] ) is always empty. For example, Patient Ethnicity, Event Hospitalized Start Date / Stop Date.
    • This switch is enabled only for profiles copied from the Factory profiles (default unchecked). This flag is disabled for all factory profiles.
    • During configuration, GPS updates the DTD profile with this information before it adds any additional E2B elements.
    • The system maps extended E2B fields are mapped to existing Oracle Argus Safety fields or to user-defined fields, as appropriate. For example, the system maps the following extended E2B fields to the following Oracle Argus Safety tables.
