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.

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. Batch Properties Name Default Value Description Split Batch By JavaScript Select the method for splitting the batch message. This option has no effect unless Process Batch is enabled in the Source Settings. The following options are available: JavaScript: Use JavaScript to split messages. For additional infor

Raw Data Type

This data type allows a channel / connector to process any custom data not handled by any of the other data types. When using it, the msg / tmp variable accessible in the filter/transformer will be a String rather than an E4X XML object which some other data types use. This data type also has the special property that when used as the Response Inbound data type for a destination, the response transformer will always be executed, even if no actual response data was received. No serialization properties are needed since there is no conversion done. Batch Properties Name Default Value Description Split Batch By JavaScript Select the method for splitting the batch message. This option has no effect unless Process Batch is enabled in the Source Settings. The following options are available: JavaScript: Use JavaScript to split messages. For additional information, see JavaScript Batch Script JavaScript Enter JavaScript that splits the batch, and returns the next message. This script has acce

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

HL7 v2.x Data Type

This data type enables powerful and flexible parsing and manipulation of HL7 v2.x messages. It features two modes, strict and non-strict. The strict mode parses messages into and from XML according to the official XSD, and enables automatic validation against the HL7 specifications. The non-strict mode parses messages into a simple, consistent XML structure consisting of the segment/field/component/subcomponent hierarchy, and enables quick and easy transformation in most use-cases. The data type also features an automatic response (ACK) generator, and a response validator that can mark messages as failed when a negative acknowledgement is received or when the message control IDs do not match. It also has a batch adapter that can split messages based on the MSH segment, even while streaming over a TCP source connection. Serialization / Template Serialization / Deserialization Properties Name Default Value Description Parse Field Repetitions Enabled Parse field repetitions (applies to No

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. Batch Properties Name Default Value Description Split Batch By JavaScript Select the method for splitting the batch message. This option has no effect unless Process Batch is enabled in the Source Settings. The following options are available: JavaScript: Use JavaScript to split messages. For additional information, see JavaScript Batch Script. JavaScript Enter JavaScript that splits the batch, and returns the next
