In Iguana 4.0 or later, you use the Filter component of the channel to specify transformation and translation operations. In this step of this tutorial, you will use the Filter to specify that you want to translate messages from HL7 format to XML.

To configure the Filter:

• Click the Filter tab.

• Select the Use filter check box. This displays fields that enable you to configure the filter:

Configuring the Filter

• In the Full filter VMD path field, specify the absolute path to the message definition file that you created in Step 2. This file will be used to perform the HL7 to XML conversion.

• From the Transformation mode list box, select HL7 to XML.

• Leave the other fields unchanged.

	For detailed information on these fields, see Configuring the Filter.
