Yet another very old post from my previous blog.
The BizTalk Accelerator for HIPAA 3.0 throws up a mighty detailed error in the event log when it fails during Xml to EDI translation and/or validation. These errors tend to look a little scary (they scared me at the very least). An example would be :
Status report details: SRH DevBT03 200411122204111 DEFAULT 2 DEFAULT
SRM 00000000 00010168 101 0 837 004010HC09translate failed 0000010000010000000000010 10168

Look for the last numeric code following the SRE element. In this case its 001030. Ignore the 0010 part and you are left with 30. Open [document's home]\HIPAA_EDI\Subsystem\EIF\live.eif with notepad. Please be careful not to edit this file!! Preferrably create and open a copy. The first section of the file contains code to message mapping entries like :
ET1000001The path does not exist. Check the folder location.
Look for the entry matching our code i.e. 30. We have :
ET1000030The document does not contain a required element. Contact the sender.
So, the actual interpretation of the event log message is :
"The required element/attribute TS837Q1_2420A_NM103__RenderingProviderLastOrOrganizationName in the segment TS837Q1_2420A_NM1_RenderingProviderName is missing."
Now that's a LOT less frightening I think. :)
