The HL7 Server component is used as a source component to listen and receive HL7 messages on a specified port via the LLP Protocol.
How to set it up:
Import the HL7 Server component
On the Dashboard, click +COMPONENT and search for HL7 Server.
Configure the desired port to receive HL7 messages via LLP
You can configure the desired port in the component card custom field. The default port to receive HL7 messages is set to 65432.
Connect 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.
Use test source and destination systems within Iguana to simulate the integration
For testing:
Use the HL7 Simulator and 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.
Use the HL7 Listener to act as a destination system, receiving messages from the HL7 Client via the LLP protocol. This component does not need to be directly linked.
If you want to modify the way the HL7 Server component handles the LLP protocol, first read: Customizing the HL7 Server Component.
