Is there a way to allow hl7 messages to still come into the IN folder but temporary stop them from being processed by CPS?
Close the DTS application on the server and it will stop processing it.
Stop the LinkLogicDTS service on the server.
Alternatively, adjusting the frequency with which llogic scans the folder (I believe default is 30 seconds) to another value might be an option...
ok thanks, that's what I thought but thinking about stopping the llogic service might also stop incoming messaging as well.
I've done this for testing purposes. To accomplish you need to turn off the specific import functions for that DTS station for the hl7 msgs you don't want to process automatically. The only way you can change what functions are on/off for the station is by stopping the LL service. So, stop the service, then change the dts station import functions, then turn the LL service back on. Now the files will come to the in folder, but will not be imported automatically. You can then manually bring them in via jobs (import jobs). I've found this works well for testing.
Only problem with this is that, you can't disable import task.
if it is a tunneled connection Tcp/Ip into your DTS.
you can leave the port enable on CPS setup.
Administration>Link Logic> Station.
under you importing task, you there are the current port which you should not remove.
then go to relationship and remove the relationship for this file, this will remove the importing task off Task options, then restart your dts.
The file will now come into your dts socket and will be transferred into your DTS\In folder as a *.tmp file which contain the content of the file in plain text format inside.
