What is this simulator able to do ?

This simulator has been developed with the purpose of helping the developers of Order Filler actor to communicate with the ORT actor.

The ORT simulator can handle messages of type OUL^R22^OUL_R22 and ORU^R01^ORU_R01 and responds with an Acknoledgment (ACK) message. This transaction detail is illustrated in the sequence diagram below.

The ORT simulator is able to handle error cases and to indicate it in the ACK message.

Finally, this simulator makes available a HL7 validation service for messages (see this documentation page for more details).
