OIDs_Do_This_First

Introduction

To enable interoperability testing at an IHE Connectathon, some actors require OIDs to be assigned for various attributes in the messages they will exchange.  Gazelle Test Management assigns these OID values.

For example:

  • homeCommunityID OID for Gateway actors in XCA, XCPD...
  • patient ID assigning authority OID for actors that create Patient IDs:  e.g., Patient Identity Sources, Radiology ADT systems, more...
  • organization ID OID for actors sending/receiving HL7v3 messages
  • repositoryUniqueId OID for XDS Document Repositories
  • and more...

Instructions

  • Log in to Gazelle Test Management (https://gazelle.ihe.net/TM - the link may be different for your testing session)
  • Access menu Preparation-->OID registry
      • Note that the Connectathon Technical Manager will announce when OIDs have been generated for a test session.  If you don't see any OID entries on this page, then they have not been generated yet.
  • Find the OIDS for your system:
      • Use the dropdown list at the top of the page to search for the OIDs for your "System". 
      • If there is no entry for your system, it means that you have not registered for an actor that needs an OID assignment
  • Find the OIDs for your test partners:
      • Use the dropdown list to filter by OID "Label" or "Profile / Actor" to find the OIDs for your test partners,
        e.g.:
        • Initiating Gateways need the homeCommunityId OID of their Responding Gateway partners
        • XDS Document Repositories need the sourceId OID of their Document Source partners

  • Special note for FHIR Servers:  For some FHIR-based profiles, a server base URL may be used instead of an assigning authority OID.  For example, for a PIXm Patient Identity Source system, a FHIR server with base http://fhir.mydomain.com would use that value as the patient ID assigning authority (rather than an assigning authrority such as urn:oid:1.2.3.4.5).    In this case, the FHIR Server may use its own base URL, rather than the OID value assigned in Gazelle Test Management.

Once you find the OIDs you need, configure your Test System in advance so that you are ready to start testing at the beginning of the Connectathon.
