The warning “Legacy vmd file format detected. It is recommended to use the importer and convert the file to the new format for future use." indicates you are using a legacy Iguana 6 vmd.
Cause
This warning can occur after using hl7.parse with a legacy Iguana 6 vmd that has not fully been converted. After using the importer or uploading a legacy vmd file for use in IguanaX, sometimes the conversion process does not finish. If you inspect the source file and it is still XML format, you’ll need to do a dummy change to finish the conversion to the raw JSON format.
Solution
Check the contents and verify if the file is in the legacy XML format by right clicking the file and clicking “Show source”. The following is an example of a legacy VMD:
Click the .vmd file to open it, then begin to edit the vmd by clicking “EDIT”.
To finish the vmd conversion, you need to make any dummy change and remove it afterwards (i.e. importing a new message definition). To import a new message definition: Click “IMPORT”. Import any new message definition such as “ACK”. Click “IMPORT”.
Immediately after importing it, you might see how the source immediately updates to the JSON format. Remove the ACK message definition (or whichever dummy change you made) after importing it.
