Resources Settings Tab

The Resource Settings tab lets you configure shared objects or libraries that can be used across the entire server or on specific channels and connectors. Resources are shared services that can be used in specific channels and connectors or in other places throughout the Mirth® Connect server. They may include custom Java libraries to use within scripts or services to handle outbound connections. Image of the Resource Settings tab.

Settings View

The Settings view encompasses a wide variety of management settings and tasks for your Mirth® Connect server. Some of the settings are channel-specific (such as channel tags), and others are more general (such as default email settings). Image of the Settings view. Navigation Server Settings Tab The Server Settings tab shows general global settings that pertain to the server or default channel properties. Administrator Settings Tab The Administrator Settings tab shows settings specific to the client machine running the Mirth® Connect Administrator. Tags Settings Tab The Tags tab provides a general management view for all channel tags configured on your server. Configuration Map Settings Tab The Configuration Map tab enables you to edit the entries in the configuration map for the current server.

Configuration Map

This map is also available across your entire server, across all channels and all messages. Like the global map, that means you can use the values from the configuration map in any channel, or somewhere else like an Alert. Unlike the global map however, this map is editable only from the Configuration Map Settings Tab, and is read-only from the perspective of channels / messages. The values are also String key/values only. This map is useful for global, static settings you want to persist across restarts of Mirth Connect. For example, you could store a variable like "clientAdtPort" and then use Velocity to reference that variable ("${clientAdtPort}") in a TCP Listener. That way you can export the channel on one Mirth® Connect installation, import it into a completely different installation, and then you would not have to edit anything in the channel settings as long as the configuration map is set on both instances. Get configuration map value: var value = configurationMap.get('key');

Variable Maps

Throughout the Message Processing Lifecycle, your channels and messages have access to various maps. Depending on the scope, the map may only be available in the current channel/connector, or may be globally available across your entire system. These variable maps allow you to store a piece of information that can be used later (in a downstream channel, connector, or somewhere else). A common use for these variables is to provide easy drag-and-drop for connector properties. The Destination Mappings list will display all available connector/channel map variables for example. They are also used in other ways, such as populating Custom Metadata Columns. The following variable maps exist throughout Mirth® Connect: Name JavaScript Variable Get/Put Shortcut Variable Response Map responseMap $r Connector Map connectorMap $co Channel Map channelMap $c Source Map sourceMap $s Global Channel Map globalChannelMap $gc Global Map globalMap $g Configuration Map configurationMap $cfg The table above

Backup Current Server Configuration

Before you begin A Server Configuration file is a snapshot of your current server settings, including all channels, alerts, scripts, and other properties. This configuration may be backed up from one Mirth® Connect server and restored into a different server. Note: If you have just installed Mirth® Connect and you do not yet have any channels or other configurations, you can skip this section. Use the following steps to backup your server configuration Log into the Mirth Connect Administrator (see Mirth Connect Administrator Overview) . In the Mirth Connect pane, select Settings. Select the Server tab. In the Server Tasks pane, select Backup Config. Enter a location to save the server configuration XML file, then select Save. Review the Information message, then select OK. Warning: The Server Configuration file does not include Users, Events, or Message / Attachment data. To export events, see Searching Events. To export message / attachment data, see Message Browser Tasks. Parent topi
