Mirth: How to send ACK message to sender host and port

Question

I am receiving lab HL7 messages from a static host and a dynamic port. For each message received I need to send a ACK message back to this host and port.

I have a destination TCP Writer channel with the correct message in there. Though the port number has to be fixed.

How do I tell Mirth to send this message to the sending host and port?

Thanks in advance Abhi

Answer 1

You should configure your channel to use the LLP Listener instead, which has the option to reply with a custom HL7 ACK message. The message will be send back on the same connection so you don't have to keep track of the address of the sending system.
