Import Channel

When importing channels, you have the option to include all code template libraries associated with the channel as well. A special dialog pops up for this purpose if any code template libraries were included: Importing Code Templates / Libraries If the channel you are importing has the same name as an existing channel on the server, a warning dialog will be shown: You will then be asked whether you want the imported channel to overwrite the existing channel with the same name: If No is chosen, you will then be prompted to enter a new unique name for the imported channel: Parent topic: Channel Tasks

Export Channel

When exporting channels, you have the option to include all code template libraries associated with the channel as well. If Yes is chosen, the code template libraries shown in the dialog will be included and embedded into the channel export XML If you want to automatically make the same choice (Yes or No) for all future exports, you can check the "Always choose "check box. You can change this again later in the Administrator Settings Tab. Parent topic: Channel Tasks

The following context-specific tasks for channels are available from the Channels View: Task Icon Task Name Description Refresh Updates the channel table. Redeploy All Undeploys all channels, then deploys all currently enabled channels. Debug Channel Displays the Debug Channel dialog that allows you to deploy the currently selected channel while debugging specific scripts within the channel. Deploy Channel Deploys the currently selected channel(s). If a group is selected, deploys all channels underneath that group. Note that the Channel Dependencies workflow may apply to this task. Edit Global Scripts Enters the Edit Global Scripts View. Edit Code Templates Enters the Edit Channel View. New Channel Creates a newchannel and enters the Edit Channel View. The channel is not yet saved. Import Channel Imports a channel from an XML file and enters the Edit Channel View. The channel is not yet saved. For additional information, see Import Channel.

Use the Debugger

Note: mcservice.exe is currently not supported for Debug mode. Debug mode is not recommended for Clustering environment (Basic or Advanced Clustering). Within Mirth® Connect, select Channels. In the Channels list, select the channel you would like to debug. Note: You can currently only debug one channel at a time. In Channel Tasks, select Debug Channel. On the Debug Channel window, select the channel script(s) you would like to use to debug the selected channel. Select OK. A separate debugger window opens for each selected script, and for each destination connector. Process the selected channel (For Example: send a message). The Debugger window(s) will pop-up based on the options you selected. To exit the debug mode, close the debugger window(s) or undeploy the channel. Note: The channel will not stop or undeploy properly if the debugger is waiting for user operation, such as selecting “Go”. Parent topic: Mirth Connect Debugger

Edit Channel Tasks

The following context-specific tasks are available throughout the Edit Channel View: Task Icon Task Name Description Save Changes Saves a new revision of the current channel, if anything was actually changed. Validate Connector Validates the currently viewed connector, ensuring that all connector properties are valid and able to be saved. Edit Filter Enters the Edit Filter View for the currently viewed connector. Edit Transformer Enters the Edit Transformer View for the currently viewed connector. Import Connector Imports a connector from an XML file into the current channel. For source connectors, this completely overrides all source connector properties and the source filter/transformer. For destination connectors a new destination is added to the table. Export Connector Exports the currently viewed connector to an XML file. This includes all connector properties and the connector's filter / transformer. Export Channel Exports the current channel to an XML file. The channel must be s

Pause/Stop/Undeploy Channels

This follows similarly from deploying/starting channels, except that the logic is reversed. When pausing/stopping/undeploying a channel, the operation is performed on dependent channels (channels that are dependent on the selected channel) first. As in the deploy/start case, by default only the channels you have selected will be bolded in the dialog, meaning that only they will be paused/stopped/undeployed. If you want to perform this action on the other channels in the dependency chain as well, check the "additional channels" check box before selecting the OK button. Upon selecting OK the channels will be paused/stopped/undeployed in the numeric order shown in the dialog. Parent topic: Deploy/Start Dependencies
