57.141.1HL7 v2.x MLLP Listener

The HL7 v2.x MLLP Listener configuration category includes the following configurable options:

Charset: Forced
Charset: Respect MSH-18
HL7 v2.x MLLP Listener Port
Socket Timeout (Millis)

57.141.2Property: Charset: Forced

Property Name	Charset: Forced
Property Key
Property Type	STRING
Description	If a charset is specified here (e.g. `ISO-8859-1` or `UTF-8`), all message parsing will use the given charset. Only used for MLLP. Ignored for HL7 over HTTP.
Applies to Modules	HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint
Default Value	(no default)
Example Property	`module.[MODULE_ID].config.charset.forced =`

57.141.3Property: Charset: Respect MSH-18

Property Name	Charset: Respect MSH-18
Property Key
Property Type	BOOLEAN
Description	If enabled, the Minimal Lower Level Protocol (MLLP) listener will use the charset specified in `MSH-18` of a given message as the encoding to use when parsing the rest of the message. This is disabled by default as `MSH-18` is often incorrect in real world applications; however, it should be enabled in systems that are known to use it correctly. Ignored for HL7 over HTTP.
Applies to Modules	HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint
Default Value	`false`
Example Property	`module.[MODULE_ID].config.charset.respect_msh18 = false`

57.141.4Property: HL7 v2.x MLLP Listener Port

Property Name	HL7 v2.x MLLP Listener Port
Property Key
Property Type	POSITIVE_INTEGER
Description	The TCP port on which this module listens.
Applies to Modules	HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint
Default Value	(no default)
Example Property	`module.[MODULE_ID].config.mllp_port =`

57.141.5Property: Socket Timeout (Millis)

Property Name	Socket Timeout (Millis)
Property Key
Property Type	POSITIVE_INTEGER
Description	The number of milliseconds that this port should block on read/write operations before flagging an error and aborting.
Applies to Modules	HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint
Default Value	`30000`
Example Property	`module.[MODULE_ID].config.socket_timeout.millis = 30000`
