How to handle QRY^Q02 with ReceivingApplication in HAPI?

Question

I'm developing an application which interacts with Chemistry Analyzers and I need to work with the QRY^Q02 and DSR^Q03 messages.

The communication schema is as follows:

Analyzer                            Soft

                 QRY^Q02
   |--------------------------------->|
                 QCK^Q02
   |<---------------------------------|

                 DSR^Q03
   |<---------------------------------|
                 ACK^Q03
   |--------------------------------->|

I've implemented a ReceivingApplication to handle the incoming messages and generating the responses.

The problem I have is that I don't know how to send the DSR^Q03 message after responding the QCK^Q02.

One alternative is to fire a separate thread from the "processMessage", which will send the response to the query. I think this isn't a good approach to handle the query for several reasons.

Does someone know how to send the DSR^Q03 after responding the QCK^Q02 ?

If anyone can help me, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Answer 1

I have tried with an Analyzer System with a 3rd party network tool to test this use-case which is good work.

And after sending the QCK^Q02, you can send DSR^Q03 directly (no wait, no new thread, just do it directly). Just send one by one. The analyzer will accept the information.

I hope this can help you.
