Generating HL7 messages

Hi,
I am posting to this mailing ince this is the only one available and there isn't a users mailing list. What I am looking for is something that I can use to generate HL7 messages and write them to a file in a directory. The messages will then get picked up by a server process which will do what it needs to with it. Is this something that can be done using HAPI ? I do not want to it to generate XML files, but rather just have the HL7 message written directly to a file. The place I work at currently has a simulator that generates such messages, but its written using Facile, and not many people understand it that well. It doesn't support all types of messages, and since no one understands it well enough it is difficult to add new message types that we may need. The company is a Java shop mostly. I want to generate the messages for the purpose of regressions testing and demonstrations of our product. cheers, mehul -- Mehul N. Sanghvi email: mehul.sanghvi@...

Mehul,
Hapi is not the tool to generate messages but to process them for some use. I would suggest Message Work Bench from HL7 would be a great start. Google it. Thanks.

From what little I understand about hapi, you can use it to create a message.
You could probably write a custom UI to take in field values and create the type of message you want from them in a java app. You might have to look into how you would be able to save this to a file. But remember...this will only create one message at a time and not really 'generate' messages like Messaging Workbench does. Good luck.

Hi Mehul,
Just to add to the chain and agree with the others, HAPI is probably not the most friendly way of generating one-off messages if you're just looking to generate a handful of one-time messages. For that purpose, I might recommend the excellent 7edit product (http://www.7edit.com), but it's not free. Alternately, Message Workbench can probably help you, although it's a bit daunting to use. That said, if you don't mind the learning curve, or want to automate the process of generating messages, I'm sure HAPI could be made to do what you want. Have a look at the "creating a message" examples here for an idea of how to get started: http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/devbyexample.html James On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 8:52 PM, Mehul Sanghvi <mehul.sanghvi@...> wrote: Hi, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

James,
Automating the process of generating messages is what I am trying to do. I understand that HAPI by itself will not be able to generate the messages as such and that I will need to write some wrapper code around it. Do you have an URL for Message Workbench ? I've looked at HL7.org and the following http://hl7projects.hl7.nscee.edu/projects/mwb/ but doesn't seem to have a downloadable copy of the application. I will check out the examples you pointed out. cheers, mehul On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 08:26, James Agnew<james@...> wrote: > Hi Mehul, > > Just to add to the chain and agree with the others, HAPI is probably not the > most friendly way of generating one-off messages if you're just looking to > generate a handful of one-time messages.

In that case, I'd say HAPI probably is your best bet.
Here's a link to where you can download MWB though: http://sl.infoway-inforoute.ca/content/dispPage.asp?cw_page=infostand_hl7can_software_e James On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 8:33 AM, Mehul Sanghvi <mehul.sanghvi@...> wrote: James, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Thanks for the MWB URL.
Any experience with NIST Message Maker, anyone ? cheers, mehul On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 11:17, James Agnew<james@...> wrote: > In that case, I'd say HAPI probably is your best bet. > > Here's a link to where you can download MWB though: > http://sl.infoway-inforoute.ca/content/dispPage.asp?cw_page=infostand_hl7can_software_e > > James > > On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 8:33 AM, Mehul Sanghvi <mehul.sanghvi@...> > wrote: >> >> James, >> >> Automating the process of generating messages is what I am trying >> to do.
