msgxml

The msgxml command line tool is a way that you can programmatically call the Chameleon xml translation technology on a group of messages stored in the HL7 log file format that the HL7 Listener supports.

To invoke it you simply need to pass it three parameters on its command line:

Message definition file;
Input message log filename; and
Output transformed message log filename.

You can also supply a flag indicating the type of xml operation you wish to apply. Other operations can be also be tested as this table summarizes:

Flag	Operation
--version	Output information about this computer.
--toxsd	Generate an xsd from the vmd file.
--toxml	Transform messages using Message -> XML translation. The output files will be prefixed with the message number.
--forceformat	Force the format of the log file to a certain value. Available formats are: HL7Standard : HL7 Standard Format, CR delimiting segments, CRLF delimiting messages HL7CRLF : HL7 files with segments delimited by CRLF HL7CR : HL7 files with segments and messages delimited by CR (no LFs) HL7LF : HL7 files with segments delimited by LF (No CRs) CRLF : Non XML message formats delimited by CRLF SingleMessage : File contains only one message, whole file is read in.
