To send documents to Integration Server to be processed through Trading Networks, you can use a client program suitable for the communication protocol you use. HL7 Module supports the following communication protocols to send and receive HL7 version 2.x messages:

For information about how to configure the supported transport protocols, see Configuring Communication Protocols.

The client sends the HL7 version 2.x messages to the HL7 Module wm.ip.hl7.tn.service:receive service. When your client sends the HL7 message to the HL7 Module receive service using HTTP or HTTPS, the client must associate the document with the text/plain content type that HL7 Module recognizes. The HL7 Module receive service receives and passes the HL7 version 2.x message to the content handler for the text/plain content type. This content handler is part of the Integration Server WmFlatFile package. The content handler performs initial processing on the document, which includes creating the pipeline with the variable ffdatathat contains the HL7 message. After the initial processing by the content handler, the HL7 Module receive service processes the stream to extract the HL7 message.
