Pre-connectathon testing for systems implementing the LTW (Laboratory Testing Workflow) integration profile, plus Radiology, Cardiology & Eye Care workflow profiles, are perfomed against a Gazelle simulator named OrderManager. In this context we test actors independently of each other, that means that we do not take care of the workflow.

• The OrderManager tool is here: https://gazelle.ihe.net/OrderManager/home.seam
• Pre-Connectathon tests using the Order Manager are documented here: http://gazelle.ihe.net/content/order-manager-tests
• We recommend you read the OrderManager user manual here: http://gazelle.ihe.net/content/order-manager">http://gazelle.ihe.net/content/order-manager

Configuring the tool

Before starting your tests, please set up your system on the tool and give the correct information to the simulator in order to enable it to access your system under test.  Note that this simulator emulates actors from various domain, consequently, before starting your tests, make sure to select the proper domain from the top-level menu, eg select the Laboratory domain.

Order Placers

Depending of the transaction in which it is involved, the Order Placer is either an HL7 initiator or an HL7 responder. Consequently, in order to be able to communicate with the simulator, you need to enter the configuration of your system under test (IP address, port, application, facility...) into the simulator, go to section entitled "SUT Configurations". In addition, you need to enter the configuration of the different actors emulates by the simulator and which the ones you will interact. Those pieces of information are available under the Configuration menu of each actor.

Order Fillers

Depending of the transaction in which it is involved, the Order Filler is either an HL7 initiator or an HL7 responder. Consequently, in order to be able to communicate with the simulator, you need to enter the configuration of your system under test (IP address, port, application, facility...) into the simulator, go to section entitled "SUT Configurations". In addition, you need to enter the configuration of the different actors emulates by the simulator and which the ones you will interact. Those pieces of information are available under the Configuration menu of each actor.

Image Managers

As an HL7 responder, the Image Manager must enter its configuration into the OrderManager simulator. Go to "SUT Configurations" section to do so.

Automation managers

Depending of the transaction in which it is involved, the Automation Manager is either an HL7 initiator or an HL7 responder. Consequently, in order to be able to communicate with the simulator, you need to enter the configuration of your system under test (IP address, port, application, facility...) into the simulator, go to section entitled "SUT Configurations". In addition, you need to enter the configuration of the different actors emulates by the simulator and which the ones you will interact. Those pieces of information are available under the Configuration menu of each actor.

Order result trackers

As an HL7 responder, the Order result tracker must enter its configuration into the OrderManager simulator. Go to "SUT Configurations" section to do so.
