Set Dependencies Window

The Set Dependencies window enables you to configure external dependencies for your channel and connectors. This may include Code Template Libraries or Library Resources you want to use inside your channel, or even other channels that should be labeled as dependents/dependencies of this channel.

The Set Dependencies window is separated into the following sections: Code Template Libraries Library Resources Deploy/Start Dependencies Code Template Libraries Library Resources Deploy/Start Dependencies Parent topic: Channel Properties Related concepts Code Template Libraries Library Resources Deploy/Start Dependencies

Select Data Types

The table at the top of the dialog shows all currently configured connectors for your channel. Since response transformers have their own inbound / outbound data types, for destination connectors you can expand the node in the tree and view the Response row underneath a particular destination. For a new channel, all data types are set to HL7 v2.x by default. This can be changed in two ways: The Connector table has Inbound and Outbound columns with drop-down menus. Select the drop-down arrow inside of the cell to make a selection: Use the drop-down menu in the Inbound Properties or Outbound Properties sections: Note: Since a message flows from the source connector directly to each destination connector, every destination inbound data type is always equal to the source outbound data type. Therefore, you may notice that the inbound data type is not editable for destination rows. In order to change the destination inbound data type, change the source outbound data type.

Change Data Type Properties

After selecting a connector / response row in the table above, the Inbound Properties and Outbound Properties sections below will show all currently configured properties for the respective data types. Select on the rows in the properties table to view descriptions of categories or specific properties: Depending on the connector row chosen above, the data type itself, and whether the data type is being used as inbound or outbound, the categories of properties shown in the table vary. For additional information on data type properties and options for specific data types, see Data Types. Any properties you have changed or that are not equal to the default value are shown in bold. To revert all changes back to the defaults for the selected data type, select the Restore Defaults button above the Properties tables: Parent topic: Set Data Types Window

Data Types

This section describes the various common properties configurable across data types, and specific properties for each data type. For an introduction to data types in general, see About Data Types. Whether a data type is used as inbound or outbound, and whether it is tied to a source connector, destination connector, or destination response, affects what properties it needs. The following groups of properties may be displayed in the Set Data Types Window depending on the data type and context: Inbound Properties Outbound Properties Delimited Text Data Type DICOM Data Type EDI / X12 Data Type HL7 v2.x Data Type HL7 v3.x Data Type JSON Data Type NCPDP Data Type Raw Data Type XML Data Type Batch Processing JavaScript Batch Script

Bulk Edit Mode

The above instructions so far have assumed that Single Edit is selected at the top-left of the dialog. This means that only a single connector / response row can be modified at a time. However you can also make common changes to multiple connectors all at once. Select the Bulk Edit button on the top-left side of the dialog: After entering Bulk Edit mode, the drop-down menu arrows in the Inbound / Outbound columns disappear, and a new check box column appears at the left of the table. Select the connector / response rows you want to edit by checking the check box in the table next to the name. Once you have selected at least one, the Inbound / Outbound Properties sections below will become activated. For either the Inbound or Outbound Properties section, if the data type is the same across all of the currently selected rows, then you have the option to edit properties. Any changes you make while in this mode will be applied across all of the currently selected connector / response rows.

Channel Properties

Item Name Description A Name The name of the channel. Only alphanumeric (a-z / 0-9) characters, spaces, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.

If there is an error in your channel configuration, this will automatically be unchecked. C Set Data Types Dialog Configure data types across your entire channel, from the source connector to each of your destination connectors. Allows easy bulk editing of data type properties. For additional information, see Set Data Types. D Clear global channel map on deploy If checked, the global channel map for this channel will be cleared out whenever the channel is redeployed. E Set Dependencies Configures Code Template Libraries, Library Resources, and Deploy/Start Dependencies for this channel. For more information, see Set Dependencies Window.
