Remarks

The class allows you to parse an incoming EDI document. This class works in two states, loading an entire document at once, or streaming portions of the document. These states are controlled by the BuildDOM property. By default BuildDOM is set to bdEntireDocument which parses the entire document at once, allowing you to use the XPath property to navigate the document.

To save memory for larger documents, you can choose to parse only sections of the document, instead of the entire document. When BuildDOM is set to per interchange (bdInterchange ) or per transaction (bdTransaction), the respective section of the document will be available for use with XPath from within the corresponding Start and End events. Finally, you may choose to set BuildDOM to bdNone, which means no DOM will be built and all data will be available only through events, but also will use very little memory. Below are example steps to parse an entire document:

1. First, use LoadSchema to load a schema file into the class. (Only necessary when preserving document structure).
2. Open an EDI document or stream by setting input via InputFile or InputData and calling Parse.
3. If BuildDOM is set to bdEntireDocument, the events of the class will fire as the document is parsed, and XPath may be set to access any part of the document.

   If bdInterchange or bdTransaction are specified, Parse is called the entire document will be parsed, with only the specified section being saved in memory at any given time. This means if you wish to set XPath to navigate within the section of the document, you will need to do so within the events of the class to prevent further processing of the document while you access the section. When parsing is completely, only the most recently parsed section will be available for use with XPath

   If bdNone is specified, then all document information must be obtained through the events fired during parsing.

During parsing, the class performs basic validation of the incoming document. If validation fails, a warning is generated (fired as an event).

The XPath navigation is done through the XPath property. For example: EDIReader.XPath = "/IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[2]/N1Loop1[1]/N1[1]"; This example path means the following: Select the first N1 segment within the first iteration of the N1Loop1, within second transaction in the first functional group and interchange.

You can also make use of XPath conditional statements to locate the first element which matches a name=value. For example, you could use the following XPath to locate the path of the first element within any N1Loop1 that has a name=N101 and value=BT: EDIReader.XPath = "IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/N1Loop1[N101='BT']";

Note that the conditional statements will search the children, but not the grand children of the element on which the conditional statement is applied. For instance in the above example the children of N1Loop1 will be searched, but the grandchildren will not.

Additionally if the schema loaded is a ArcESB JSON schema the element Id (from the schema) can be used in the conditional statement. For instance instead of N101 the following is also acceptable: EDIReader.XPath = "IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/N1Loop1[98='BT']";

To display the structure of the parsed document use DisplaySchemaInfo. This is helpful when deciding how to navigate the document.

BuildDOM Property (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

When True, an internal object model of the EDI document is created.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getBuildDOM();


public function setBuildDOM($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_get($res, 1 );


ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_set($res, 1, $value );

Default Value

0

Remarks

Set BuildDOM to bdEntireDocument (0) when you need to browse the current document through XPath.

Use bdInterchange (1) when parsing large documents to tell the class to only hold an internal object model of the current Interchange being parsed. When this value is used, and a new Interchange is encountered during parsing, the old interchange is cleared from memory. If the input contains a single Interchange, this is equivalent to using bdEntireDocument.

Use bdTransaction (2) when parsing large documents to tell the class to only hold an internal object model of the current transaction being parsed. When this value is used, and a new transaction is encountered during parsing, the old transaction is cleared from memory.

A value of bdNone (3) will tell the class to not save any internal state of the document being parsed, and thus XPath will be unavailable.

If the schema file does not exists or cannot be parsed as an EDI schema, the component throws an exception.

Config Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_config($res, $configurationstring);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DisplaySchemaInfo Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Returns a string showing the structure of the schema defining the document.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisplaySchemaInfo();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_displayschemainfo($res);

Remarks

After calling LoadSchema this may be called to obtain information about the structure of the schema defining the document. If the desired XPath is not known this helps determine the structure so that the correct XPath can be built.

Note: A valid schema must be loaded via LoadSchema.

For instance: Console.WriteLine(component.DisplaySchemaInfo()); Will output text like:

DisplayXMLInfo Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Returns a string showing the structure of the parsed document as XML.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisplayXMLInfo();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_displayxmlinfo($res);

Remarks

After the EDI document has been parsed this method may be called to obtain information about the document structure. The parsed data is represented as XML when queried. This shows all parsed data and may be useful for testing and debugging purposes. For instance: Console.WriteLine(component.DisplayXMLInfo()); Will output text like:

Flush Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Flushes the parser and checks its end state.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doFlush();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_flush($res);

Remarks

When Flush is called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then checks its end state.

Any extra un-parsed data will be populated in the ExtraData property after this method is called.

GenerateAck Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Generates an EDI acknowledgement.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doGenerateAck();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_generateack($res);

Remarks

This functionality is not yet implemented and is reserved for future use.

HasXPath Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Determines whether a specific element exists in the document.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doHasXPath($xpath);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_hasxpath($res, $xpath);

Remarks

This method determines whether a particular XPath exists within the document. This may be used to check if a path exists before setting it via XPath.

This method returns True if the xpath exists, False if not.

See XPath for details on the XPath syntax.

LoadSchema Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Loads a schema file describing a Transaction Set.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doLoadSchema($filename);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_loadschema($res, $filename);

Remarks

This method parses the File and loads it into an internal schema list. The class will attempt to automatically detect the SchemaFormat.

If the schema file does not exist or cannot be parsed as an EDI schema, the class fails with an error.

Parse Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Parse the specified input data.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doParse();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_parse($res);

Remarks

This method parsed the input data specified by InputFile or InputData.

During parsing the following events may fire:

• StartInterchange
• StartFunctionalGroup
• StartTransaction
• Segment
• StartLoop
• EndLoop
• EndTransaction
• EndFunctionalGroup
• EndInterchange

After Parse returns the document may be traversed by setting the XPath property. The XPath navigation is done through the XPath property. For example: EDIReader.XPath = "/IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[2]/N1Loop1[1]/N1[1]"; This example path means the following: Select the first N1 segment within the first iteration of the N1Loop1, within second transaction in the first functional group and interchange.

You can also make use of XPath conditional statements to locate the first element which matches a name=value. For example, you could use the following XPath to locate the path of the first element within any N1Loop1 that has a name=N101 and value=BT: EDIReader.XPath = "IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/N1Loop1[N101='BT']";

Note that the conditional statements will search the children, but not the grand children of the element on which the conditional statement is applied. For instance in the above example the children of N1Loop1 will be searched, but the grandchildren will not.

Additionally if the schema loaded is a ArcESB JSON schema the element Id (from the schema) can be used in the conditional statement. For instance instead of N101 the following is also acceptable: EDIReader.XPath = "IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/N1Loop1[98='BT']";

Input Properties

The class will determine the source of the input based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

• InputFile
• InputData

When a valid source is found the search stops.

InputData Notes

When setting data to parse via InputData fragments or complete documents may be specified. To parse data in chunks set InputData and call Parse for each fragment.

When the parser is finally reset via the Reset method, all buffered text is flushed out through the ExtraData property.

Since the class can be used to parse EDI data fragments, the internal buffer will not be cleared until Reset is called. If you plan to use this method to parse multiple complete EDI documents be sure to call Reset between calls.

Reset Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Resets the parser.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doReset();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_reset($res);

Remarks

When called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then initializes itself to its default state.

Reset must also be used as signal to the parser that the current stream of text has terminated.

TryXPath Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Reader Class)

Navigates to the specified XPath if it exists.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doTryXPath($xpath);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7reader_do_tryxpath($res, $xpath);

Remarks

This method will attempt to navigate to the specified XPath parameter if it exists within the document.

If the XPath exists the XPath property will be updated and this method returns True.

If the XPath does not exist the XPath property is not updated and this method returns False.

 'warncode'
 'message'
 'segmentnumber'
 'segmenttag'

The Warning event will fire during parsing of a segment of an EDI document. The WarnCode parameter contains the type of warning encountered. Message is a textual description of the problem. SegmentNumber is the index of the segment where the problem was found.

SegmentTag holds the tag name of the segment. SegmentErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK304 field of a 999. ElementErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK403 field of a 999. ElementPosition is the position of the element where the error occurred.

It's very important to note that segment validation happens right in the middle of the parsing process. Because of this, the Warning event will usually fire long before the validated segment becomes the current segment for the parser state. This means you cannot access the parser properties to examine the current segment in relation with the Warning event when the event fires.

Possible WarnCode values are:

TechnicalErrorCode holds a technical error code that helps identify structural issues with the document. For instance when parsing an X12 document this will hold values that may be used for TA1 error codes. When parsing X12 documents the following codes are applicable:

Config Settings (HL7Reader Class)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
