OpemHIM support for TCP and MLLP routes

Architecture & Standards
1

Hello all!

A OpenHIM newbie here… I’ve recently been playing around with OpenHIM to explore it features. One thing we are considering using it for is as middleware when integrating between OpenMRS and a PACS systems. We’ve had this integration set up for 10+ years using Mirth as the integration engine, and are considering OpenHIM on a replacement.

Does OpenHIM currently support TCP and/or MLLP routes? In an old screenshot I see a reference to TCP and MLLP routes, but the current version of the application appears to only have HTTP and Kafka as options.

Thanks for the question Mark. @richard.langford do you have thoughts on this?

Hi @mgoodrich,

Sorry for the late response. I have checked and realized that the two route type were ommitted after the kafka integration. As an immediate remedy I have created two images for console and openhim core to help you setup either mllp or tcp routes.
The image names are:

  1. jembi/openhim-console:mllp-tcp-support
  2. jembi/openhim-core:mllp-tcp-support

You can try the images and let me know if it provides you the options before we can merge to main.

Thanks @derrickrono ! No worries about the late response… I’m not currently working on this now but when/if I get back to it I certainly will try these issues out. I also flagged my colleague who has a similar need.
