HL7 data agent (message publisher) comes by default with the HL7 transport that you installed earlier. To enable the data agent in the ESB and configure it to connect to BAM, set the following parameters within the <axisconfig name="AxisJava2.0"> element in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file:

ConfigurationXML Code
Enable HL7 data agent<parameter name="transport.hl7.PublisherEnable">true</parameter>
Set the BAM server URL to which the data agent in the ESB connects to

<parameter name="transport.hl7.PublisherServerUrl">tcp://xx.xxx.x.xx:7611</parameter>

Provide the IP address of your BAM server.

Set the BAM server credentials

<parameter name="transport.hl7.PublisherServerUsername">admin</parameter>

<parameter name="transport.hl7.PublisherServerPassword">admin</parameter>

Set secure authentication. This is optional.

<parameter name=" transport.hl7.PublisherSecureServerUrl">tcpssl://xx.xxx.x.xx:7711</parameter>

Provide the IP address of the BAM server.

Enable message status validation (Success or failure)

<parameter name="transport.hl7.ValidateMessage">true</parameter>

Enable this parameter with the ones above to get the message status.
