This tutorial explains how to send HL7 messages with 7Edit via TCP/IP.
To start sending a message from 7Edit:
The sender window divided into two main areas. The left area shows the list of connections. The central area shows the sender activity log.
In order to send a message to a specific destination we need to create a new sender profile. Click the "Profiles" button.
Click the "Add" button to add a new profile.
Change the default profile name to "Custom Profile".
Select 'TCP/IP Connection' from the list and click the "Settings" button to configure the connection.
We use integrated 7Edit data receiver to emulate the receiving system. See this tutorial to configure it. The data receiver is running and listening on the localhost, port #21110. Click "OK" to close the "TCP/IP Settings" dialog.
Make sure the 'Read Acknowledge' checkbox is selected.
Click OK to finish adding the profile.
Select the newly added profile in the combobox as shown below and click the "Send" button to continue.
You may select a specific message or a range of messages to send. Right now we are going to send only the currently selected message. Click "Send" to send the message.
When sender finishes sending the message and closes the connection click the "Messages" button to view the list of messages sent and received.
You may now save messages to a file or open them for editing.
