TCP/IP simulator for HL7 messages

[eric]

Hi,
I'm lookiing for a tool to simulate a TPC/IP adapter because i want to
test the Ensemble BO
EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation
I think that IHE has a tool like that. Can you tell me where i can
find a free tool.

Regards,

Eric Sebelin

Eric,

Are you looking for a desktop tool to send/receive HL7 messages via TCPIP to/from Ensemble (basically simulating external systems from your desktop)?

Hi Jim,

With Ensemble I send HL7 messages and for client demonstration i need
a tool to simulate a HL7 TCP/IP connector of a target application like
Xplore for example.

How About
Switching namespace &
Setting up a simple
BS based on EnsLib.HL7.Service.TCPService (you can do this directly
from the portal; very quick!) which would listen for the incoming HL7
message?
Then
Just set up a dummy BP with just an alert with HL7 message request.
This would allow you to see & show for the demo the
HL7 message that came in in the Visual Trace

so for the demo you jsut use a Broswer as a Client,
what do you think?

Luca,

Thank you for your idea. It's working very well.

I have tested the Business Service with class
EnsLib.HL7.Service.TCPService like consumer of HL7 messages and that
all you need not a Business process, the business service can send an
ACK HL7 message.

You can also dummy this up by doing:

HL7 File BS passes message direct to HL7 TCP/BO
The BO sends it out on the port that your HL7 TCP BS is listening on.

You're Welcome Eric.

Yes you're right, The HL7 based BS is quite powerful and can do many
things for us like sending an Immediate ACK.
The Suggestion about calling a simple BP
was so that you could further demo the Arrival of the HL7 Message and
show your audience -visually,
that indeed the message you sent, arrived on the other side...

You can view the message info in
[Ensemble] > [Event Log]
or
even better in
[Ensemble] > [Messages] > [Visual Trace]

otherwise you just see the ACK on the calling system.. which I guess
it's OK too :-)

All the best

Hello,

Thanks to all i'm going to do a good demo
