HL7 v3.x Data Type

This data type handles HL7 v3.x messages. No actual serialization or deserialization is needed because the data format is the same as the internal representation format (XML), but it still has options to strip namespaces if needed. Serialization / Template Serialization Properties Name Default Value Description Strip Namespaces Enabled Strips namespace definitions from the transformed XML message. Will not remove namespace prefixes. If you do not strip namespaces your default xml namespace will be set to the incoming data namespace. If your outbound template namespace is different, you will have to set "default xml namespace = 'namespace';" via JavaScript before template mappings.

Delimited Text Data Type

The Delimited Text data type is a very powerful and flexible data type that can satisfy many common formats like CSV, but also many proprietary formats that are dependent on custom delimiters, fixed-width columns, or other nuances. The following properties are configurable: Serialization / Template Serialization / Deserialization Properties Name Default Value Description Column Delimiter , If column values are delimited, enter the characters that separate columns. For example, this is a comma in a CSV file. Record Delimiter \n Enter the characters that separate each record (a message may contain multiple records). For example, this is a newline (\n) in a CSV file. Column Widths If the column values are fixed width, enter a comma separated list of fixed column widths. By default, column values are assumed to be delimited. Quote Token " Enter the quote characters that are used to bracket delimit column values containing embedded special characters like column delimiters, record delimiter

JSON Data Type

This data type allows seamless integration between JSON messages and the filter/transformer scripts which are JavaScript-based. When using the JSON data type, the msg / tmp variables will be a standard JavaScript object, as opposed to an E4X XML object which some other data types use. Since JSON is a very lightweight data format, and the transition from String to JavaScript Object is all handled automatically, no serialization properties are needed.

EDI / X12 Data Type

This data type handles both UN/EDIFACT and ASC X12 data formats, as well as custom formats similar to EDI / X12 that use a segment / element / subelement delimiter. Serialization / Template Serialization / Deserialization Properties Name Default Value Description Segment Delimiter ~ Characters that delimit the segments in the message. Element Delimiter * Characters that delimit the elements in the message. Subelement Delimiter : Characters that delimit the subelements in the message. Infer X12 Delimiters Enabled This property only applies to X12 messages. If checked, the delimiters are inferred from the incoming message and the delimiter properties will not be used. Batch Properties Name Default Value Description Split Batch By JavaScript Select the method for splitting the batch message.

NCPDP Data Type

This data type handles the flat file format for National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) pharmacy data. Serialization / Template Serialization / Deserialization Properties Name Default Value Description Field Delimiter 0x1C Characters that delimit the fields in the message. Group Delimiter 0x1D Characters that delimit the groups in the message. Segment Delimiter 0x1E Characters that delimit the segments in the message. Use Strict Validation Disabled Validates the NCPDP message against the appropriate schema. Only applicable for the Deserialization properties.

JavaScript Batch Script

The JavaScript batch adapter is an option common to almost all data types. When Process Batch is enabled on the Source Settings, you can set this script from the Set Data Types Window to programmatically decide how to split the incoming data into multiple messages. Within the batch script you have access to a variable called "reader", which is a Java BufferedReader object. Use this variable to consume from the underlying character stream and return a String for each message you want to process through the channel. When you decide that no more messages should be processed, or you reach the end of the stream, return null or an empty string. Example 1 This script will simply send a message for every line in the input.return reader.readLine(); Example 2 This script will split the input into multiple messages by assuming that each new message starts with a line break and the characters "MSH". Note that this is already a feature supported by the , but is shown here to illustrate how the batc
