Create multiple ST_SE segments within one ISA_IEA envelope using BizTalk 2009

Question

Hi,
I am using BizTalk server 2009 for 837 outbound file generation. My 837 file should have one ISA_IEA segments in a file and the claims submitted by each provider should be created within each ST_SE segment. From the SQL DB I am receiving the claims information for each provider and trying to append them in a single file after the HIPAA assembler. The HIPAA assembler is creating ISA_IEA for each ST_SE and appending it in the file. How can I create multiple ST_SE segments within a single ISA_IEA segment.

Answer 1

Hi,

Have you tried enabling Batching under the EDI properties of the Party.
Go To Party as Interchange Receiver -->Interchange Batch Creation Settings. Under Interchange batch creation settings you need to specify settings related to batching such as Maximum number of transaction sets in Group and interchange. You can also define the Filer expression if required. Hope this should be helpful.

In order to acomplish the multiple ST-SE use the multiple HIPAA schema. The file will be created individually. Of course your select statement will also have to include a single record. I currently do this for all my maps and it works very well. Of course I recomend using an orchestration and using the multiple schema as well so that the orchestration splits the messages individually. Then it is very easy to manage each file individually, but you have to use the right schema. It is a lot easier than what it looks. Let me know if you have questions.

It I use the multiple schema, then I will get around 50,000 messages. Also I believe, if I give each message to the Assembler, then it will create ISA-IEA for each message. Please clarrify.

Also I saw an option in the "Receive port" to get messages in a batch. If I use a receive port to take 100 messages at a time in a batch and get the output using the EDI assembler in the send port, will this create a single file with correct hierarchy of ST-SE and ISA-IEA?

How can I group some 1000 messages under one ISA-IEA and 100 messages under each ST-SE?

Do it on the stored procedure. For exmample


Select top 1000 from table
for xml...

then update those 1000 records so that the next time you come around you do not grab them
update table
set column = 'Y' where ....

now you have all 1000 records in an xml file that you can use for the map. Pass it to biztalk and your are done. You can also do it other ways, but I found this one to be easiest becasue I can control the records in a table and build reports based on the records that I control on that table. I hope this helps.
