The HL7 Data Simulator is specifically designed to enable testing of vendors HL7 capabilities. The HL7 Data Simulator is designed as an HL7 client that can process data from files, kafka topics or API endpoints. Beyond just using it for general purpose simple testing it can also be configured for performance testing against HL7 servers.
Systems that process HL7 data typically leverage an HL7 MLLP Servers, this enables it to process HL7 v2.x messages. We eill explain this from the context of iDaaS-Connect-HL7. When iDAAS-Connect-HL7 starts it creates a series of connections to process data. Specifically for HL7 near real time transactions it has several MLLP Server ports defined, Once the platform starts all these HL7 MLLP Server ports are created and ready to process data. When these actiond occur the HL7 Data Simulator(s) can connect to the specific HL7 MLLP specific port for the message type.
For all iDaaS design patterns it should be assumed that you will either install as part of this effort or need the following.
Here is a consistent manner in the way you can clone, build and run this component.
Please feel free to check out our implementation guides and provide us any feedback.
- General way for analysts, developers and various other project resources to unit test HL7 v2 transactions against systems.
- Very effective way to generally test one or more specific HL7 specific transactions.
- Simply mechanism to enable performance testing against a measure volume of HL7 transactions.
The following are the specific use cases/scenarios that can be followwd to help implement the HL7 Data Simulator.
