After changing the TCP/IP SERVICE TYPE of Server A from MULTI LISTENER to SINGLE LISTENER and restarting the links, PING worked.
 
Though I have no idea why it did not work as MULTI LISTENER..........

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Setting up HL LOGICAL LINKs problem - No response

Hi all
 
We want to have connection between two VistA systems, so that they can exchange patient data between themselves. According to the manuals, the first step is to establish a connection between them using the HL7 links. The specification of the two systems is
 
Server A (TCP server)
1. IP address is 192.168.1.31
2. Cache on NT
3. Following is the entry added to HL LOGICAL LINK file
 
NUMBER: 210                                                        NODE: ZVISTA
  INSTITUTION: ZZ.EHR OFFICE                         LLP TYPE: TCP
  DEVICE TYPE: Multi-threaded Server              STATE: Reading
  TIME STOPPED: DEC 06, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:22:51   SHUTDOWN LLP ?: NO
  QUEUE SIZE: 100                                               ACK TIMEOUT: 600
  TCP/IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.31                     TCP/IP PORT: 5000
  TCP/IP SERVICE TYPE: MULTI LISTENER     PERSISTENT: YES
  STARTUP NODE: EHR:CACHEWEB               SAY HELO: YES
 
 
Server B (TCP client)
1. IP address is 192.168.1.201
2. GT.M on Linux
3. Following is the entry added to HL LOGICAL LINK file
 

NUMBER: 194                                                         NODE: ETL2
  INSTITUTION: ZZ.EHR OFFICE                           LLP TYPE: TCP
  DEVICE TYPE: Persistent Client                        STATE: Idle
  AUTOSTART: Enabled                                         TIME STARTED: DEC 06, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:47:56
  TIME STOPPED: DEC 06, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:47:56     SHUTDOWN LLP ?: NO
  QUEUE SIZE: 100                                                 ACK TIMEOUT: 600
  TCP/IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.31                       TCP/IP PORT: 5000
  TCP/IP SERVICE TYPE: CLIENT (SENDER)    PERSISTENT: NO
  STARTUP NODE: ROU:local                                SAY HELO: YES
 
On running PING (TCP only) option from Server B, the message displayed is "No response". And the STATE of ZVISTA link on Server A is READING.
 
The HL7 Site Manager and Developer Manual says "No response" means "VISTA HL7 was able to get a connection, but failed to get a response. In this case, a listener is running on the target system, but something else is wrong: the listener is a foreign listener (e.g., the RPC Broker), or the link entry for the listener on the receiving system is not defined correctly."
 
Can someone help detect the possible problem?
