The e-Biz Impact version 5.4.5 client installation adds an HL7 data source name (DSN)—”hl7repo”—which allows you to connect to the HL7 repository database.
The e-Biz Impact TRAN-IDE Guide, Chapter 2, “Using TRAN-IDE,” contains a section entitled “Using the HL7 objects repository.” This section has a procedure that you use to create a new HL7 DSN. You can still use this procedure; however, because the e-Biz Impact client installation creates an HL7 DSN, you can now also edit the existing DSN and use that, rather than creating a new one.
Use this procedure to edit the HL7 DSN created by the e-Biz Impact client installation.
Configuring the HL7 repository connection
On Windows, select Start | Settings | Control Panel.
Select Administrative Tools.
Select Data Sources (ODBC). The ODBC Data Source Administrator window appears.
Select the System DSN tab.
Select “hl7repo” and click Configure. The ODBC Configuration for Adaptive Server Anywhere 8 window appears.
Modify the options on the ODBC tab as necessary:
Data Source Name – accept HL7repo or
enter a different name. This tells the ODBC driver manager or Embedded
SQL library where to look in the file or registry to find the ODBC
data source information.
Description – enter an optional longer description of the data source to help you or end users to identify this data source from among their list of available data sources.
Leave the remaining fields blank.
See the ASA Database Administration Guide for
more information:
Go to the Technical Library Product Manuals Web site at Product Manuals, select SQL Anywhere Studio from the product drop-down list, and click Go.
When the Core Documentation list displays, select SQL Anywhere Studio 8.0, then choose the PDF or online version of the ASA Database Administration Guide.
Select the Login tab, verify that Supply User ID and Password are selected, but the actual user ID and password fields are blank.
Select the Database tab and modify these options as necessary:
Server Name – accept “hl7repo,” which is the name of the local machine or network server where the HL7 repository is located and the e-Biz Impact client is installed.
Start Line – accept the path to the HL7 repository database executable, modify the path, or leave the field blank.
This value automatically starts the HL7 repository database when
you start your machine.
To automatically start the HL7 repository database, you must also select the option “Automatically start the database if it isn’t running,” in addition to providing a Start Line value.
To manually start the database, leave this field empty and unselect “Automatically start the database if it isn’t running.”
Database Name – enter hl7repo,
which is the name of the HL7 database to which you want to connect.
This entry is case sensitive.
WARNING! Do not enter the “.db” extension for the database in this field. For example, do not enter hl7repo.db.
Database file – accept the full path and name of the file, or click Browse to locate the file and change the path. For example:
x:\Sybase\ImpactClient-5_4\DevApplication\.bin\hl7repo.db
where “x” represents the location where the e-Biz Impact client is installed.
Accept the defaults for the remaining options.
Click OK to save your entries and close the ODBC Configuration window.
Click OK to exit the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
