Creating a map

Use the following procedure to create a default compliance map.

StepsCreating a map

  1. Right-click the project you just created and select New > Map from the submenu.

    The New Map Definition window displays with three tabs: Map Properties, Map Directories, and Map DSN. The Map Properties tab is initially active. You type information into various fields.

  2. Populate the fields in the Map group:

    1. In the Project text box, the program automatically populates the field from the current project.

    2. In the Map Name field, type a map name; for example, HIPAA_270_4010_60. This field is required.

      See the Sybase HIPAA Accelerator Installation Guide for a list of map names provided in the Sybase HIPAA Accelerator installation.

    3. In the Map Type field, click the arrow and choose X12. This field is required and activates the Options group.

  3. In the Options group, populate the following fields:

    1. In the Transaction field, type the transaction set number. This field is required.

      This is the HIPAA transaction set corresponding to the HIPAA map name you entered above. Possible choices are 270, 271, 276, 277, 278, 820, 834, 835 and 837.

    2. In the Direction field, click the arrow and choose IN.

      NoteThe direction of a compliance map must be IN, whether the data you are testing is inbound or outbound.

    3. In the Version field, click the down arrow and choose 004010.This field is required.

    4. In the Description field, type a brief description. This field is optional.

    5. In the Century Minimum field, type a value. This field is required.

    6. Select Y for 8 Digit Date in X12 Envelope.

  4. Click the Map Directories tab to make it active and populate the fields within.

    ECMap uses the directory location specified on the New Project window followed by the map name specified to automatically populate all directories except for the EDI Standard Tables. In the following example, the directory specified in the New Project window was C:\maps\MyMaps and the map name was HIPAA_270_4010_60.

    When you define your EDI Standard Tables location on the New Map Definition window, refer to the location of the HIPAA standards.

    WARNING! It is very important that you point to the directory with the Sybase HIPAA Accelerator standards and not the default ECMap standards.

    1. Click Invert to protect the paths of all of the supplied map information, or click Protect/Change for a specific directory to toggle back to protect or change a directory.

    2. Click Change All to type the path of the EDI Standard Tables. A dialog box opens for you to select a directory.

    3. Select the directory path to the HIPAA standards.

      If you used the default install directory, identify the path as \Program Files\Sybase\HIPAA52\ Standards\<Standard>. If you chose a different directory path during installation, you must use that directory path.

  5. Click the Map DSN tab if the trading partner and log information are stored in databases that will be accessed through ODBC.

    1. In the Trade Partner group, click the Data Source Name arrow. The Data Source Names window displays.

    2. Double-click a Data Source Name from the list to automatically populate the fields in the Trade Partner group.

      If you have not created the DSN, click Configure Data Source to open the ODBC configuration window. Once you have created your DSN or DSNs, you may proceed.

      NoteFor certain databases, such as Microsoft® SQL Server and Oracle, you may need to edit the string in the text box manually to add a user ID and password.

    3. To test the connections, click Test Trade Partner Connection in the Trade Partner group or Test Log File Connection in the Log group.

      If you select Clear TP Fields, the program removes all of the information you inserted in the text boxes on the Trade Partner section of this tab. If you select Clear Log Fields, the program removes all of the information you inserted in the text boxes on the Log section.

  6. Click OK to return to the Project window.
