Configuration tools

The runtime tools control and monitor connections, processes, and system information. The tools are:

  • Alert Configurator

    Use the Alert Configurator to set alarms or monitor points for user-notification when defined conditions happen.

  • BOX Manager

    A Buildable Object eXchange (BOX) is file package consisting of a collection of related system configuration files. Through the IDE, a BOX is transferred from one system root to another system root. Every BOX has a manifest file to record its content, the time of creation, the version, and descriptive notes.

    BOX also provides the ability to share configuration resources between system sites on different hosts.

  • Database Schema Configurator

    Use this tool to configure database connections in the Network Configurator and map database schemas in the Translation Configurator. With these supports, you can significantly reduce Tcl script writing and improve usability on database-related configurations.

  • Engine Output Configurator

    This tool controls the type and amount of output information that is generated by the engine as it runs threads and processes. This information is reported by the engine in a log file.

  • FRL Configurator

    Fixed-length Record Layout (FRL) Configurator defines how data is formatted within fixed-length record layouts.

    An FRL definition represents a single record where all the fields are a fixed width. In the system, all FRL fields have at least one subfield. Subfields can be of variable length as long as they fit within a fixed length field.

  • Global Variables Configurator

    The Global Variables Configurator is similar to the Lookup Table Configurator. Global variable values can be masked and encrypted similar to lookup table entries.

  • HL7 Configurator

    Health Level 7 (HL7) is a standard for electronic data interchange in healthcare environments, with an emphasis on hospitals. HL7 refers to the highest level of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model from the International Standards Organization (ISO). In the OSI conceptual model, communications software and hardware functions are separated into seven layers, or levels. The HL7 standard is primarily focused on the issues that happen within the seventh layer, or application level.

  • HPRIM Configurator

    HPRIM makes it possible to exchange data among health care professionals. For example, medical labs, clinical services and hospitals facilities, blood center, radiology facilities. HPRIM plays the role of HL7 in France.

  • HRL Configurator

    Hierarchical Record Layout (HRL) supports these types of FRL or VRL records in a single message:

    • Repeating records
    • Groups of records
    • Repeating groups of records
    • Optional groups of records
    • Nested groups of records
  • Import Script

    Use an external editor to create new or open existing Tcl files. Then, import the modified or generated Tcl script files back to the IDE using the Import Script tool.

  • JSON Configurator

    JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is an open standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs. JSON is a language-independent data format. It is the primary data format used for asynchronous browser/server communication.

  • LDL Configurator

    DICOM contains length-delimited fields. The Length Delimited Layout (LDL) tool specifies a DICOM record layout.

    Standard DICOM transactions are available in the root and can be edited with the LDL tool.

  • Lookup Table Configurator

    Use the Lookup Table Configurator to configure the lookup tables used to convert message data. Lookup tables perform code translations within one or more translation configurations.

    A Lookup Table is called up within a translation configuration and used in the Table action for a specific field.

  • NCPDP Formulary and Benefit Configurator

    To better support e-Prescribe, message format support of NCPDP SCRIPT and NCPDP Formulary and Benefit is included.

    The NCPDP Formulary and Benefit standard defines a file format by which a payer publishes formulary information to a consumer. Consumers are entities such as providers or clearinghouses. The NCPDP Formulary and Benefit standard is batch-oriented, being essentially a data push from the publisher to the consumer. There is no interactive use case. A small batch message flows back from the consumer to the publisher. This indicates the correctness of the file and any errors that have happened.

  • NCPDP SCRIPT Configurator

    The NCPDP SCRIPT standard defines messages for placing and managing electronic prescriptions. The partners that are involved in SCRIPT transactions are a prescriber, such as a doctor, and a pharmacy which fills the prescriptions.

    NCPDP SCRIPT Configurator defines data elements, composite data structures, data segments, and messages for the NCPDP SCRIPT standard.

  • NCPDP Telecom Configurator

    National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) defines a set of standard message formats used in the prescription drug industry. These formats address messages from pharmacy to payer, prescriber to pharmacy, and others. The NCPDP Telecom formats that have been designated as HIPAA standard transactions are supported.

  • Network Configurator

    Use the Network Configurator to define and modify network connections, and the actions to take when handling communication transactions flowing across those connections.

    Configure all connections from the viewpoint of the system site, which is assumed to be the starting point for any connection.

  • Script Editor

    The Script Editor is a built-in editor where you can create, open, and save scripts through the host server.

    Use Script Editor to customize many aspects of the engine and how messages are handled in the system. This is accomplished by creating files for storing Tcl procedures and editing existing files or Tcl procedures.

  • Site Documentation

    The IDE is designed to configure a system site, and you review system sites through the IDE. For more flexibility and convenience, you can also remotely review system sites through the Site Documentation feature.

    Site Documentation shows the available configurations in a specific site using HTML pages by collecting the important site information and configurations, displaying the details, and providing the links to the available configurations.

  • Translation Configurator

    The Translation Configurator is used to define how incoming records are translated into outgoing records.

    The translation thread:

    • Takes the message.
    • Parses the record.
    • Translates it into a new format and, often, a new protocol.
    • Routes it to the destination.
  • UN/EDIFACT Configurator

    United Nations Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce, and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) was created from a requirement for a single international Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standard. This standars is flexible enough for governments and private industries.

    UN/EDIFACT Configurator defines data elements, composite data structures, data segments, and messages for the UN/EDIFACT standard.

  • VRL Configurator

    Variable-length Record Layout (VRL) Configurator defines how variable-length data is formatted within flat-record layouts.

    VRL is similar to FRL in structure and purpose, but the underlying approach to accessing the data is different.

  • WSDL2XSD

    The XSD WSDL tool is integrated into the IDE as a wizard. The wizard guides you in generating and compiling the XSD file, and generating the WSDL file from the XSD file.

  • X12 Configurator

    An X12 message is defined as a single transaction set. It is a batch subsystem that parses and encodes, dealing with interchanges and groups.

    In system terms, a batch refers to a group of one or more messages. These messages are surrounded by header and trailer segments with no special characters required to delimit the individual messages inside the batch.

  • XML Package Manager

    EXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a general purpose markup language. This is widely used across the world to share structured data across various information systems. Support is provided for XML as a built-in message format.
