Validation Settings
Using BizTalk Accelerator for HL7, you can validate your messages against the HL7 standard. BTAHL7 ensures that the messages you send or receive have a message structure and body segment that conforms to the HL7 standard. You can also validate HL7 supported custom data types, and allow trailing delimiters. You use the BTAHL7 Configuration Explorer Validation tab to configure validation.
Configuring Validation Settings
You use the Validation tab of BTAHL7 Configuration Explorer (under the high-level Parties tab) to configure validation settings. You can select the following types of validation:
Syntax, structure, and schematic validation on body segments, based on the message schema
HL7 standard validation on custom data types (DT, TS, TM, and TN)
Validation of field delimiters (trailing delimiters are allowed)
Using this tab, you can also set the schema namespace used for the validation on the messages for this party.
The following figure shows the BTAHL7 Configuration Explorer Validation tab.
