Demonstration: Testing the Router
We can test our new router and rule set by providing our production with some input and viewing the message trace and rule log..
-
Start the Tutorial.HL7Production, if it is not already started.
-
Paste a copy of ABC1.txt in C:\Tutorial\In, or whichever directory TutorialFileService is configured to poll. The file should disappear in at most a few seconds.
-
On the configuration page, click TutorialMsgRouter, then click the Messages tab on the right-hand side of the screen. There should be messages listed. Click Go To Message Viewer to open the Message Viewer.
-
The message browser should list a pair of messages. Highlight one of the rows and click the View Full Trace link on the right.
-
The Trace shows that our TutorialMsgRouter received a message and then, as expected, dispatched the message to the TutorialFileOperation.
ABC1.txt is in <ensemblesys>\Dev\tutorials\hl7messagerouting where <ensemblesys> is the directory where Ensemble is installed.
The messages are listed in reverse chronological order because of the Sort Order setting in the Message Viewer. "Oldest First" is also available.
