After you have parsed your message, the next step is to ensure that your VMD file can recognize the segments in the message. To do this, you must import the segment definitions from the built-in library provided with Chameleon.

To import segments:

• From the Message Browser, click the Segments with red icons are unrecognized link (which is located in the yellow panel). The Import Unrecognized Segments Window appears.

Import Unrecognized Segments Window

• By default, the Import segments from a library radio button is selected. In the list box next to this radio button, HL7 2.6 is specified. Leave these settings as is, and click Next.

• The Import Unrecognized Segments window now lists the segments that have been recognized, and asks which ones you want to import:

Selecting the Segments to Import

• Ensure that all of the segments are selected, and click Next and Finish to complete the process.

The Segments folder in the Workspace now includes the segments that you have just imported:

Imported Segments

	Note that you do not need to make the entire set of segment definitions available in every HL7 configuration. You may only need to import the segments that are relevant for your specific situation.

After you import the segments, the message is automatically reparsed, and the imported segments are recognized:

Message Browser, Showing Recognized Segments

You will notice that Chameleon still does not recognize the message type of the message being inspected. Your next step is to create a new message definition using the Create Message Definition Wizard.
