tealdoc.zip The tealdoc Palm Pilot document reader, its accompanying tealdoc manual and associated files. This Palm Pilot app can be used to read the HL7Layouts palm pilot doc found elsewhere on this page. Please take a look at HL7ReadMe.rtf for info about other related items. Please note that tealdoc is shareware with a 30 day evaluation.   Please also see the blurb below on CSpotRun, an open source (GNU GPL) palm reader app that can also read the HL7Layouts.prc.

HL7Layouts.prc
HL7Layouts.txt The HL7Layouts.prc palm pilot doc and its accompanying source ASCII text file HL7Layouts.txt. The prc file is a palm pilot doc readable via the palm pilot tealdoc.prc app that provides a ready version 2.2 HL7 reference and includes a listing of all ADT events (A01, A02, A03, etc.) and and field layouts of the MSH, EVN, PID, PV1, OCR, OBR, OBX, ODS, NTE, DG1, and FT1 segments. The field layouts contain the field name, an optional "R" if it's a required field, the data type of the field (e.g., CE, ST, ID, etc., etc.), and "Rep" if it's a repeating field. It's not particularly pretty when viewed through your palm pilot but it'll serve in a pinch. The HL7Layouts.txt file is provided so you can modify things to add your own HL7 info. You'll need the MakeDocW.zip Windoze-based palm pilot doc converter to create your own prc palm pilot docs. Please take a look at HL7ReadMe.rtf for info about other related items.

MakeDocW.zip
MakeDocW.txt The MakeDocW.exe Windoze 95/98 app and it's accompanying MakeDocW.txt readme file written by the MakeDocW author (some guy in Germany). MakeDocW is a Windoze app you can use to format ASCII text files into palm prc files for viewing with tealdoc and other palm pilot doc viewers/readers. Pretty intuitive user interface. I even figured it out with a bit of experimenting. Please take a look at HL7ReadMe.rtf for info about other related items.

hl7spec.zip A Windoze 95/98 HL7 Help file. This is a Zip file containing a Windoze help formatted HL7 version 2.2 spec. This is actually a pretty cool thing. Simply unzip it somewhere on your PC and double click it. It'll provide you with a clickable 2.2 HL7 spec complete with field layouts, Message layouts and the whole schmeer. I created the HL7Layouts.txt from this (yes it does provide a way to copy the screen you're viewing to the paste buffer which you can then paste into Word or whatever). Please take a look at HL7ReadMe.rtf for info about other related items.

CSpotRun_english.zip CSpotRun is a free reader for documents in the popular DOC format. CSpotRun is for those of us who do not need all of the features of the available commercial readers. Available in Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish, and Turkish. Source is available under the GNU General Public License. CSpotRun can read the HL7Layouts.prc file described above. This item contributed by Jeff Drumm of the Main Medical Center.

chgpro.rtf Nora Hutchison's (nora.hutchison@inova.com ) procedures for moving Datagate changes into production. This is a rich text formatted document that should be suitable for all major word processors.

MessageSend.doc Alan Holekamp's mini-article on the use of the message-send function. This is an MS Word97 doc.

MessageClear.doc Michael Wood 's example of the use of the message-clear function. This is an MS Word97 doc.

eGate0601000.doc Audry Parks was kind enough to provide this MS Word document of her notes taken during one of the Datagate sponsored E*gate 4.1 upgrade seminars. An HTML-icized version of the info is also available by clicking here .

benchmar.doc
stcbench.ppt Nora Hutchison's Conference presentation (MS Word97 doc and MS Powerpoint presentation) on how Inova benchmarks their Datagate/e*gate system(s). benchmar.doc includes a shell script for computing the benchmark values.

EgatePerformaceStudy.doc Detlef Kraska 's excellent paper comparing the throughput of e*Gate 3.6.1 and 4.1.1 for 8 separate configurations. MS Word97 doc.   You can also view the paper on-line by clicking here.

EcluSetupZip.exe
EcluSetupZipReadme.rtf In a nutshell - this utility is a GUI front end to the command lines stccb, stciqutil, and stcregutil. It is intended to help e*Gate
interface developers who do not want to continually "reinvent the wheel" when it comes to building and executing the command
lines associated with these utilities. In addition to providing a GUI front end, maintaining a history of the command lines, and
executing the command lines, the stciqutil portion allows for events in an IQ to be dumped, edited, reloaded or deleted. The
deleted part is particularly usefull when a "bad" event gets into the IQ and the subscribing collaboration keeps "blowing off"
because it can't process the event. These command lines can be very prone to human error - as well be the source of a great deal of frustration.
EcluSetupZip.exe uploaded is a self-extracting exe that will prepare the setup.exe program. Once the setup.exe program is run,
the program is ready to use. Contributed by Chris Bristol, CTGHS

Map50.doc
Map50.rtf
Map60.doc
Map60.rtf Documents describing mappings from UB92 data items to X12 837 version 4010. The Map50 files are for UB92 version 5 and the Map60 files, oddly enough, are for UB92 version 6. The "dot" doc files are MS Word97 documents, the "dot" rtf files are rich text format documents that should be portable across various word processors.

monk.pats monk.pats is a configuration file for the Nedit editor which supports syntax highlighting for Monk. You'll need to import the definitions contained in the file (instructions inside the file), and NEdit will display syntax highlighting for your Monk code. The configuration file should work with all e*Gate (not Datagate) versions.

monk.syn Configuration file for Monk syntax highlighting for the Textpad editor. More info can be found in the help file of the application itself. Contributed by Akin Uslu, Phycom Corp, Kikland Wa.

EgateQueueReload.doc Sue Parkin of McKesson HBOC, U.K. sent in this nifty little one-page instruction sheet on reloading an e*Gate IQ that has become corrupt and stopped working.

IQ Monitor.doc
IQ Monitor.exe
The IQ Monitor provides e*Gate developers and operators with a data-centric view of the e*Gate events as they flow through the enterprise. It can monitor multiple hosts and schemas. The IQ Monitor will notify via email whenever live event counts exceed predefined levels. It will also notify whenever data has not been processed out of the IQ in a timely manor. This type of monitoring can be very useful when e*Ways and BOBs are up but not functioning properly. This utility work well on and against schemas running on NT. It will also work well against schemas running on UNIX - as long as the SeeBeyond utilities that they call are able to function in a distributed mode. (4.5.1 and greater, and 4.1.2 with ESR#39320 - I think). Please note that this is a compressed, self extracting archive. It's quite large so it'll take a bit to download. Contributed by Chris Bristol.

eGate Utility Manager.doc
eGate Utility Manager.exe
The eGate Utility Manager provides e*Gate developers with a graphical, value added interface to the SeeBeyond utilities IQUTIL, CB and REGUTIL.   In addition to putting lipstick on these little pigs, the IQUTIL portion of the Utility Manager allows the developer to dump, search, edit, delete and reload (individually or in groups) events from the IQs. This utility work well on and against schemas running on NT. It will also work well against schemas running on UNIX - as long as the SeeBeyond utilities that they call are able to function in a distributed mode. (4.5.1 and greater, and 4.1.2 with ESR#39320 - I think). Please note that this is a compressed, self extracting archive. It's quite large so it'll take a bit to download.
