Re: Processing multiple HL7 versions
Eric Stott
There are two different approaches, you can put the map in the recieve port,
or you can put it in the send port.
If you have an archive component in the decode stage of your receive
location (if you need one, I have one you can use
(http://blog.hl7-info.com/contact.aspx)) then you should be okay.

have a system setup to receive V25 messages and process them. I am looking to
have one map each to to convert other version (V23, V24 etc) to V25 and then
have this either in the recieve port or in the send port. But the challenge I
am facing is that in the map itself - how could we have multiple source
schemas in the map. I don't want to go with the orchestration route of having
a transform shape to do this. Any help would be really appreciated!!
Thanks,
Shaik Dawood.

Simply put each a map for each source message version that maps to the
target message in the receive port.
At receipt, the receive port will select the appropriate map that
matches the input message type.
