messages containg multiple PID, PV1, etc...

[pjzuber]

I have a question regarding the format used in composing messages with multple segments with the same name such as ADT-A17 and ADT-A37. I thought that the labels were the same, but when sent to mirth, i get this:

ERROR-301: Transformer conversion error
ERROR MESSAGE: Error adapting message

what i sent (simply as a test) was:

MSH|^~\\&|Mirth|1|||2006044535||ADT^A37|603340|D|2 .3.1
EVN|A04|20060404090742

However, when i checked the raw message tab in mirth, it had the abouve message plus an added three lines attached to the bottom that were not in the message i sent:

I'm pretty sure this is a simple message formatting problem, but i'm new to HL7 and mirth so any help would be greatly appreciated. A sample of a correct ADT-A37 or A17 would help alot as well.

sorry about the formatting on the message boards, the lines are to big to fit on one line of the boards

Re:messages containg multiple PID, PV1, etc...

You can use the "code" tags around your HL7 so the formatting is preserved. Open bracket, code, close bracket. Then at the end, open bracket, forward slash,, code, close bracket.

As far as your issue in Mirth, what version are you using? What connector are you using? Can you post your channel?

Thanks!

Do you think you could just post a simple, working ADT-A17 message that i can compare to mine to see if there are any differences. Thanx

i have attached the xml of my channel hopefully this helps client_to_server.xml (7894 bytes)

Re:messages containg multiple PID, PV1, etc...

What system is sending the messages to Mirth? The issue you are seeing looks like a problem on the sending server side.

Re:messages containg multiple PID, PV1, etc...

Its a hl7 sending client I created myself. I don't think that is the issue though, because the message raw message source comes into Mirth fine, its in the destination message that the message becomes corrupted. That seems to indicate something inside of Mirth. All that my client does is read the message to a stream and sends it to Mirth.

Go to each transformer in both the source and destination. On both the incoming and outgoing data tabs, hit properties. Turn off "use strict parser". Redeploy.

Excellent!!! Exactly what i was looking for. Thanx alot!!!!

FYI - the non-strict parser is the default parser in 1.5
