Using Resources in Channels/Connectors

Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare User Guide

Using Java Classes

You can access any Java class in any JavaScript context: var map = new Packages.java.util.LinkedHashMap(); The "Packages." at the beginning may be omitted for common top-level package domains, like "com", "net", "org", and "java". To avoid having to type out the fully-qualified class name every time, you can import the package: importPackage(org.apache.commons.io);FileUtils.getUserDirectory(); For classes in custom or non-standard libraries, create a resource (see Resources Settings Tab) containing your .jar file. Then include it on the channel in the Library Resources dependencies tab. Parent topic: Using JavaScript in Mirth Connect

JMS Listener

This source connector connects to an external JMS provider and reads messages from a queue or topic. It supports both JNDI and specifying a specific connection factory, as well as fine-tuned queries through a configurable selector. Once this connector is started, it will attempt to keep a persistent open connection to the JMS provider. If for any reason the connection is dropped, the connector will automatically reconnect without any intervention needed. The properties view also includes a mechanism to save configuration templates for common provider types, so that creating a new JMS Listener is as quick and easy as possible. Note: Depending on the JMS connection provider you are using, you may need to include some external libraries (JARs) as a Library Resource and include them using the Set Dependencies dialog on the Channel Summary tab. For example, to use connection templates included for ActiveMQ and JBoss, you should download the libraries from their official site in order to use

JMS Sender

This destination connector connects to an external JMS provider and writes messages to a queue or topic. It supports both JNDI and specifying a specific connection factory. Once this connector dispatches a message, the connection to the JMS provider will be kept open and cached until the connector is stopped or an error occurs. The properties view also includes a mechanism to save configuration templates for common provider types, so that creating a new JMS Sender is as quick and easy as possible. Note: Depending on the JMS connection provider you are using, you may need to include some external libraries (JARs) as a Library Resource and include them using the Set Dependencies dialog on the Channel Summary tab. For example, to use connection templates included for ActiveMQ and JBoss, you should download the libraries from their official site in order to use them with the JMS connectors.

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

General Channel Properties

General Channel properties are configured on the Summary Tab within the Edit Channel View and include: Unique ID, name, and description. Links to Code Template Libraries: These let the channel know which custom functions are available in specific JavaScript contexts. Links to Library Resources: These let the channel know which custom Java classes are available in specific connectors and/or JavaScript contexts. Deploy/Start Dependencies: These determine which channels are dependent on this one, and also which channels are dependencies for this one. This way you can have some channels deploy and start before others. Attachment Handler: This allows you to extract pieces of any incoming message and store them separately. As a message processes through a channel, multiple copies of it will be held in memory at once (for the raw / transformed / encoded versions of a message). Attachments are stored only once, so by using them you can greatly reduce your channels' memory footprint. Message St

Reload Resource

The actual implementation of this task depends on the type of resource. For directory resources the directory will be re-scanned for files, and all channels / connectors using the resource will have their respective classloaders destroyed and recreated with the new list of libraries. When the task is selected, a confirmation message appears. Parent topic: Resources Settings Tab
