System configuration

Use the Network Configurator to sketch an overall view of the network system and its needs, and to finish message configuration details.

To configure "From the Connection":

  1. Open the Network Configurator from the IDE.
  2. Click the connection icon to open the connection menu. Select Thread Properties to configure the host connections.
  3. To configure the transaction routes between the hosts, select View > Show All Routes on the Network Configurator. This step gives an overview of the network, showing the sources and destinations for message transactions. To set up routes, configure routes as static routes with raw data translations.

    Not all routes are static with raw data, but configuring routes as static shows an overview of the routes before adding route detail.

  4. Configure the translation lookup tables.
  5. Configure the FRL definitions.
  6. Configure any non-fixed record layouts, such as XML, VRL, or HRL.
  7. Configure any record layouts that use variants, such as HL7, UN/EDIFACT, NCPDP, or X12.
  8. Configure the record translation specifications.
  9. Edit existing routes and translations.
