Situation
Hello folks. My clinic has an internal laboratory and therefore do not was to transmit any order to any external laboratory. I find it annoying to download HL7 file every time I click on on ‘Save and Transmit’. Is there a way I can avoid this? Kindly help. Regards.
OpenEMR Version
I’m using OpenEMR version 5.0.0
Browser:
Google Chrome
Operating System
Windows 10
You could try configuring Procedure Provider with Local file system then add a directory to sites/default to save the orders.
re: or even save to systems temp directory if hl7 message is not needed
@sjpadgett how do you do that? Where do I need to go? I have been unable to proceed from the point I have circled in the screenshot below. Thanks.
Give this a try:
Go to menu Procedures->Providers
Since Window will manage cleaning up your Temp directory, all is well if, you are not sending or using the hl7 message for anything. There is not a need for Login, Password e.t.c.
@Quantice Hi, If this proved to resolve your issue would you please mark as solution for other’s that may be searching forum for similar issues. Thanks.
Hello @sjpadgett I apologize for not giving timely feedback, it is because I have been away from OpenEMR. I tried the above solution as suggested, the Hi7 did not download after clicking save and transmit but instead I got this error "Transmit failed: Cannot create file “C:\Windows\Temp/19.txt”
Kindly find a screenshot of what I did as per you instruction. Regards
You need to find a writable temp system directory somewhere to throw away the download. You can try:
\xampp\htdocs\openemr\sites\default\documents\temp if your domain path is xampp/htdocs/openemr or any system temp directory. Path I gave you works on my windows 10 but I have UAC turned off…
@sjpadgett thanks for timely reply. My OpenEMR is hosted in a shared remote server not XAMPP. Do you have suggestion for this? Regards
Give this path a try:
./…/…/…/sites/default/documents/temp
