Now that you have used the HL7 Simulator to send a test message, the next step is to ensure that Iguana has processed the message correctly. To do this:

• Examine the Dashboard to see if any errors were detected;
• Check the Logs to see if the message appears there.

If the message was processed properly, the Dashboard will indicate the time at which the message was processed, and the Errors column will remain blank:

To check the Logs:

• Click the Logs tab.
• In the Logs window, look for the log entry with the icon. This entry should contain the message that was sent from the HL7 Simulator.

• You can also view the Acknowledgment message that the Iguana server sent when it processed the incoming message. This is the log entry with the icon.

As an additional check, you can examine the XML output file to ensure that the translation was successful.
