Sending an Accept Acknowledgment
To deliver an acknowledgment message, a TPA with an Agreement ID value of HL7TPA should be present in Trading Networks. When HL7 Module receives an HL7 message and identifies the trading partner, the module checks the sendACK parameter from the TPA and responds back with an acknowledgement based on the value selected for the sendACK parameter in the TPA. The sendACK field can take the following values:
When you set the
sendACK field in the TPA to
Default,
HL7 Module sends an acknowledgment based on the value set in the Accept Acknowledgment field (MSH-15). The Accept Acknowledgment field (MSH-15) can have one of the following values:
AL - Always.
HL7 Module always sends an accept acknowledgment.
NE -Never.
HL7 Module never sends an accept acknowledgment.
ER -Error conditions only.
HL7 Module sends an accept acknowledgment only when it encounters errors.
SU -Successful completion only.
HL7 Module sends an accept acknowledgment only when it receives the message successfully.
When you set the
sendACK field in the TPA to
Always,
HL7 Module always sends an acknowledgment regardless of the value set in the Accept Acknowledgment field (MSH-15).
When you set the
sendACK field in the TPA to
Never,
HL7 Module does not send an acknowledgment.

sendACK parameter and its values, see
