Associating a Trading Partner Agreement with a Message Scheme ID

To use a specific HL7 message scheme to exchange messages between two trading partners, you must associate the message scheme ID with the trading partner agreement that you use for the message exchange.

To associate a trading partner agreement with a message scheme ID

1. Create a custom message scheme as described in Creating a Custom Message Scheme.

2. Create a trading partner agreement as described in Defining HL7 Trading Partner Agreements.

3. In the wm.ip.hl7.tn.tpa.rec:HL7TPA document, specify the message scheme ID for your custom message scheme in the hl7MessageScheme/schemeID parameter. For example, com.example.custom.scheme.

4. In Designer or Developer, run the wm.ip.hl7.tn.tpa:initTPA service to populate the TPA with the values for the specified IS document type.
