I’m new to the OpenEMR so any help on my question I’d be gratefully be appreciated.
My question is, how do you send a HL7 message though one application system(Outbound) and pass it forward to the OpenEMR interface? Is there a particular port that is required to send this message across so the EMR can see it? Thanks in advance.

assuming you are talking application X and OpenEMR
for simple connectors, build your own with available hl7 libraries
for complex connectors check mirthproject.org

Thanks for the help Andres.
I"m looking into a simple connectors at the moment but also looking at the complex for my curiosity. is it possible you can fill me in some more information on what I need to build this hl7 libraries and any additional components. Thanks,

not easy to apply a recipe,
you’ll need to know each record from the alien system and its exactly correspondence to OpenEMR,
and checking for data type compatibility or if not, assuring conversion for each.
although mirth works for high complex plugs,
it may be as well simpler than rolling your own “simple” solution,
the real work here is the tedious paper and pencil pre-map before you write anything.
