Editing Profile Information

Introduction

Gazelle Master Model (GMM) allows administrators to add new Integration Profile information into Gazelle.  This enables vendors to register testing these profiles at a Connectathon.    Gazelle must be configured to know about the actors, transactions, and options defined within an Integration Profile.  It must know which Domain the Integration Profile belongs to.

Entering IHE Profile information consists of these 6 steps detailed in this documentation:

  1. Add New Actors
  2. Add New Transactions
  3. Link Transactions to Actors
  4. Add New Options
  5. Add a New Integration Profile
  6. Link Actors, Transactions, and Options to the Integration Profile
  7. Link the Integration Profile to a Domain

Not currently covered in this document, but needed in order for profile entry to be complete:

  1. Entering profile mandatory groupings (aka profile dependencies)   ie Actor A in Profile P must also implement Actor B in  profile Q (eg all actors in the XDS.b profile must also implement ATNA Secure Node)
  2. Entering default configurations for transactions in the profile
  3. Entering sample definitions
  4. Entering Roles for test definitions

Add new actors

Gazelle is populated with Actors from Integration Profiles across all IHE domains.  Prior to adding a new Actor, search the list of existing Actors to see if it already exists (eg. an Acquisition Modality or a Content Creator actor is used by many IHE Integration Profiles).

  1. From the main menu, select TF -> Actor Management Add an Actor
  2. Search for existing Actors.  There are several methods you can use:
    1. You can restrict the search to a specific domain by selecting a value in the Select a Domain list box
    2. Search by Keyword by typing into the data entry box at the top of the Keyword or Name column. (The search starts as you begin typing; there is no need to press Enter to start the search.)
    3. You can sort the Keyword or Name columns by clicking on the up and down triangles in the column heading.   

 List of actors

  1. To add a new actor, select the Add an actor button at the top right of the page.
  2. On the Actor : New screen, enter:
    1. Keyword  - This is a short form of the Actor name; it can be an abbreviation or acronym.  Use all upper case letters and underscores.  No spaces.  (Although gazelle allows you to edit this keyword, once you complete all of your data entry, you should not change this keyword later.  The dependency configuration relies on this value to remain the same.) 
    2. Name – This is the full name of the actor from the Technical Framework.
    3. Description – You can copy the definition for the actor from the Technical Framework.  May be left blank.
