The HL7 Server component is used as a source component to listen and receive HL7 messages on a specified port via the LLP Protocol. The HL7 Server responds to each received HL7 message by sending an acknowledgment (ACK message) to the source system.

You can use this component both in production integrations to listen for HL7 messages or as a Test Listener utility representing a destination system.

titleConnect a downstream component - the HL7 Server is a feeder component

The HL7 Server is a feeder component which is designed to queue messages to a downstream component for processing or sending to a destination system.

If you want to process your HL7 message, add the HL7 Map component and the HL7 Client to send messages outbound to a destination.

See Linking components.

titleUse test source and destination systems within Iguana to simulate the HL7 integration

For testing :

your workflow you can use:

  1. The Simulator to send messages to localhost and the port configured for the HL7 Server. The HL7 Simulator does not need to be directly linked to the HL7 Server as messages won’t be queued between the components, they use the LLP protocol.

    2. Since this is acting as a test destination, in HL7 Server’s main.lua, comment or remove line 38, which queues the received messages. This ensures you keep your queue decluttered!
