Step 1. Create the source connection

To receive HL7 messages, configure a source connection to access the HL7 data.

You can use one of the following types of connections:

•A flat file or an SFTP connection to a remote server
•A Kafka connection through an MLLP server to read HL7 data from a messaging queue

To enable and configure an MLLP server, use the File Servers page in Administrator. Set the target type to write the HL7 data to a Kafka queue. For more information, see File Transfer in the Administrator help.
