If an E-Form fails to be created, it may be because an alphanumeric HL7 value is mapped to an integer OnBase Keyword Type. Use the following steps to identify and resolve the issue of a data type mismatch.

  1. Identify the Keyword Types and Document Type assigned to the HL7 import process that generated the error message.
    1. In OnBase Configuration, select Medical | HL7 | Import Process.
    2. Select the import process that generated the error.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Under Message Type Information, click View Mappings.
    5. Take note of the Keyword Types and their assigned fields.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Identify the Document Type assigned to the import process. The Document Type is usually assigned in the Options section under Message Actions.
    Note:

    Depending on the import process, you may have to check the Document Type mapping.

  2. Identify the Keyword Types assigned to the Document Type.
    If applicable, click View/Edit Document Type to access configuration settings for the default Document Type. Otherwise, complete the following steps:
    1. In OnBase Configuration, select Document | Document Types.
    2. Select the Document Type you identified in step 1.
    3. Click Keyword Types to display the assigned Keyword Types.
  3. In the failed message, check whether there could have been a data type mismatch between the message's values and the OnBase Keyword Types assigned to the Document Type.
  4. Do the following for each Keyword Type that may have caused the error:
    1. Verify the Keyword Type is assigned to the correct field in the HL7 message template.
    2. Check whether it makes sense to have an alphanumeric value in that HL7 field. If the sending application is sending the wrong type of value, then the issue must be addressed in the sending application.
    3. If OnBase needs to be able to handle alphanumeric values in the HL7 field, change the data type of the assigned Keyword Type from Numeric to Alphanumeric. To do this, see “Changing a Keyword Type's Data Type” in the System Administration module reference guide or in the OnBase Configuration help file.
