Set Data Types Window

Use the Set Data Types window for all data types configured across your entire channel. This is the main management window for all data types configured across your entire channel. You can see at a glance and easily configure the data formats you are expecting to receive, the formats you are converting the data into for each outbound destination, and the response formats you are receiving from external systems. You can also configure various properties for each data type, which determine how your data can be used inside of filters and transformers and elsewhere. Image of the Set Data Types window.

Code Template Libraries

This tab allows you to link code template libraries to the current channel you are editing. Note that this accomplishes the same thing as including channels on the Edit Library Panel within the Edit Code Templates View. It is included here as well within the Edit Channel View for convenience. The tree within this tab is organized in a way that Libraries are the top-level nodes, and each Code Template underneath is a child of that library. Select any library or code template row, and if a description is available, it will show in the bottom section of the dialog. Link Code Template Libraries Parent topic: Set Dependencies Window

Deploy/Start Dependencies

Channel Dependencies allow you to mark one channel as a "dependency" of another channel. This means that the dependency channel should be started / deployed before the dependent channel. This could be for a variety of reasons, but one common use-case is when you have one channel sending to another channel. The upstream channel is the dependent, and the downstream would be the dependency. The tree in the top-half of the dialog shows dependencies of the current channel. In other words, channels that show up in the top tree are those that the current channel depends upon. By expanding nodes in this tree, you can see descendant dependencies, or "dependencies of the dependencies". The tree in the bottom-half of the dialog shows channels that are dependent on the current channel. By expanding nodes in this tree, you can see descendant dependents, or"channels that are dependent on the channel that is dependent on the current channel". Select the Add / Remove buttons next to either tree to add

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. B Enabled Indicates whether the channel is ready to be deployed. All enabled channels will automatically be deployed with the Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare server starts up. 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. F Initial State Determines what

Library Resources

Resources are shared services that can be used in specific channels / 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. The Library Resources tab allows you to include resources throughout your entire channel, or in more specific contexts such as the channel scripts or certain connectors. The Library Context tree in the top section of the tab allows you to select a specific context, or the Channel root-level node which represents all contexts across your channel at once. The following library contexts are available: Library Context Description Channel This is the root-level node of the tree, and includes all contexts below it. If one of the resource check boxes in the table below is in the indeterminate state (grey box), it means that it is currently included on some but not all of the sub-contexts. Channel Scripts This includes the deploy, undeploy, preprocessor,

Link Code Template Libraries

To include a library of code templates on the current channel, check the check box next to the library name, then select the OK button. A confirmation dialog is shown: Because the code template library / channel links are stored outside of the actual channel itself, when closing the Set Dependencies dialog it prompts you to save those changes immediately. Select Yes to accept the changes and exit the dialog. Parent topic: Code Template Libraries
