Chameleon Menu |
The following table describes the functionality available from the Chameleon menu:
| Menu Item | Sub-Menu Item | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Chameleon | Options | Opens the Options Window. From the Options window you can customize configurations to handle different types of message definitions. |
| Generate Stubcode | Opens the Stubcode Generation Wizard. Chameleon can generate the skeleton of an HL7 interface program that will send, receive and process messages via TCP/IP. After messages, tables and mapping rules are defined, the application code can be generated using the wizard. | |
| Generate Schema | Opens the XML Schema Generation window. Using this window, you can generate DTDs, XML schemas and Biztalk schemas for every flavor of XML that Chameleon supports. | |
| Test/Browse Messages | Opens the Message Browser. Using the Message Browser, you can verify that your mappings are correct. When you press the Parse button, the Message Browser will output the table data that was parsed from the message. | |
| Test Transformation | Opens the Transformation window. The Transformation window allows you to test scripted transformations, table grammar mappings, generated outbound messages, outbound python scripts and outbound post process scripts. | |
| Test XML Translation | Opens the XML Translation window. This window allows you to interactively test out the available XML translation options in Chameleon. | |
| Global Inbound Script | Opens the Global Inbound Script window. The Global Inbound Script allows you to add a Python script that is executed before a message is parsed. | |
| Global Inbound Parse-complete Script | Opens the Global Inbound Parse-complete Script window. The Global Inbound Parse-complete Script enables you to define a script that is run after all table inbound scripts have been processed, but before table data is inserted into the database. | |
| Global Inbound Post Process Script | Opens the Global Inbound Post Process Script window. The Global Inbound Post Process Script allows you to add a Python script that is run whenever data is processed by the VMD file. | |
| Global Outbound Preprocess Script | Opens the Global Outbound Preprocess Script window. The Global Outbound Preprocess Script allows you to add a Python script that is executed before message generation to declare variables and functions. | |
| Global Outbound Post Process Script | Opens the Global Outbound Post Process Script window. The Global Outbound Post Process Script allows you to add a Python script that is run after the message string has been generated. | |
| Global Python Overview | Opens the Global Python Overview window. The Python Overview windows display a summary of all Python scripts used within the current configuration. This includes all inbound/outbound segment and table scripts, global inbound scripts, global outbound pre/post process scripts, segment validation rules, and any transformation scripts. |
