BTAHL7 Flat File Assemble Pipeline Component – single message a) read value from MSH5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, comnbine them together as destination party b) read message send port name, lookup for its destination party. If there is party configured for that port, override step a) c) if EnablePartialNameResolution is checked, search 5.1+5.2 then try 5.1 […]
