PacsOne Server

Hi,
I'm just a newbie here, I've installed PACS and HL7 interface, I'm trying to send HL7 message to the PACS for that reason I've created an application entry under the tag of HL7 application. then i added an entry in the auto route section. so Now I'm trying to send the message to PACS, HL7 interface tells me that message was sent. But I'm unable to understand where to look for that message in PACS. Am I missing any steps? please guide me through.

JFYI the log file tells this.

Fri May 22 18:50:13 2009 INFO - HL-7: <3> started from peer: 127.0.0.1
Fri May 22 18:50:13 2009 INFO - <3> Receiving message
Fri May 22 18:50:13 2009 ERROR - <3> Invalid LLTP header [0x3c], aborting
Fri May 22 18:50:13 2009 INFO - Session: <3> disconnected for client: 127.0.0.1

Q1: Where I should look the HL7 in PACS
Q2: Is there anything else that I missed in my mentioned steps.

Thanks in advance!

The HL7 interface of PacsOne Server parses the received HL7 messages into the database tables. But it seems that the HL7 application you are using to send HL7 messages to PacsOne Server was not using the Lower-Level Transport Protocol (LLTP) as the header byte of the LLTP protocol was missing according to the logs below:

Fri May 22 18:50:13 2009 ERROR - <3> Invalid LLTP header [0x3c], aborting

Yes that was really the problem, I've bin using the TCP Sender option instead of LLP though I changed it to LLP and then i checked my HL7 log it tells me message received.

But I'm still unable to look for physical location of that HL7 message in PACS, as I don't have any proper destination to route my message. So where in the DB i should see for that received HL7 message? or doesn't PACS cache that message at all ? if it does then where can i find it? another thing i'd like to know that can i do anything with this HL7 from within the PACS e.g. removing /adding/ editing some of its segments. does PACS allow any such interface to the incomming/outgoing messages if yes then how? please do guide me.

thanks again.

The HL7 messages received by PacsOne Server are stored in the corresponding database tables, but not individual files.
