RE: [HAPI-devel] Batch messages and BHS/BTS segments??

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Bill, 
 
I was wondering if anyone would ever ask about this.  There is no specific
support for batch processing in HAPI, but it should be straightforward
anyway.  I'd suggest creating instances of the batch segments directly (e.g.
new ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v24.segment.FHS(null) ), and using the static method
PipeParser.encode(Segment, EncodingCharacters).  I.e. encode and write your
FHS to the file, then do the same with BHS, then the same with your
messages, then the trailers.  Will that do it?

Subject: [HAPI-devel] Batch messages and BHS/BTS segments??



Hi all, 

I'm a recent HAPI user, and so far I've got the hang of creating single
messages (ORU_R01's) with all the segments that I need for my purpose. My
question is this: these messages are all to be in a file (that get's picked
up via FTP and batch processed) that needs to be in proper HL7 batch
structure, that is, with BHS (Batch Header Segment?) and BTS) (Batch Trailer
Segment?).  I can create single ORU messages all day, but I can't
instantiate a BHS segment without it being part of some message, which I
don't know. What is the proper way to create a batch of messages with the
appropriate headers? 

Any and all help, hints and guidance is appreciated!!! 

Bill
