Setting Up the Channels

	For the purposes of this example, download this sample VMD file and sample messages file, and save it in a directory on your machine. Make a note of the paths, as you will be referring to it later on in this section.

The initial step is to create a pair of channels that will take HL7 data, filter it through a message filter and route the stored messages to a database. The following channels need to be created:

• Channel 1 - LLP Listener to Message Filter
• Channel 2 - Message Filter to Database.

For each channel, you must do the following:

• Add the channel and select the channel components;
• Fill out the mandatory channel settings;
• (Optional) Configure the additional channel settings;
• Configure the source and destination component; and
• Export the necessary tables to your database.
