Before testing your changes, ensure that both the sorting_engine.vmd and after_adding_configuration.vmd files are saved in the same directory as your downloaded project files.

To test the changes:

• Run CHMserver.exe. The Server appears and should display the available configurations, as shown below.

Server Application

• By default, the server stubcode generated by Chameleon asks you to choose which configuration you want to use. Because you have modified your code to reset the configuration every time a message is received, you can choose either 0 or 1 here.
• Enter the port number to listen to. In this example, port 7123 was chosen. After choosing a port number and pressing Enter, the server immediately starts listening on that port.
• Open the HL7 Simulator utility.
• In the Host field, type localhost.
• In the Port field, type the number you just typed into the server.
• Download this sample message file, and save it in the same directory as your project. This message file contains two message types: SIU-S12 and ORM-O01.
• In the Message File field, click the ellipsis button to locate the sample message file.
• Ensure that the Stop sending messages at end of file? and Keep sending messages when ACK Received? options are checked.
• In the HL7 Simulator, click Start to begin sending messages to the server application.

Using the HL7 Simulator

• Return to the Server application, and you will notice that the messages were successfully parsed using the correct configuration.
