Add config for file reader to stop when directory is empty.

Anthony Julian — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:07:55 -0000

In some circumstances we have a requirement to read a directory of files, then stop when the directory is empty. In this case a config entry exitWhenEmpty would be helpful. Currently, the client continues to wait for more files to be placed in the directory.

Output Directory Error

I have configured my .cfg file and started the services. However, each time I run the debug command I receive the following error message:

C:\Program Files\SocketReader>SocketReaderService32.exe debug --configfile "C:\P
rogram Files\SocketReader\SocketReader.cfg"
Debugging service hl7socketreader_configfile - press Ctrl+C to stop.

Error: Please specify a valid output directory using the "messagedir = DIR" opti
on.

Below is my .cfg:
[general]
logfile = c:/RadAdv_log/SocketReader.log
loglvl = debug
useconnections = incoming_socket, incoming_file

[incoming_socket]
queuename = socket-to-file
transtech = file
transdir = in
usehl7 = True
useack = True
createserversocket = True
ipaddr =
port = 5005

[incoming_file]
queuename = file-to-socket
transtech = file
transdir = in
usehl7 = False
messagedir = C:/RadAdvocate/filein
filemask = *.dat
cycletime = 120
maxfiles = 50

My goal is to listen on port 5005 for a file to be dropped into the C:/RadAdvocate/filein directory.

Option to disable HL7 acknowledgements

While testing my HL7 sender subsystem I've encountered a little problem. 'ACK Timeout' setting could not be tested because SocketReader always acknowledges the messages it receives via a socket connection. So I've modified its source code to add an option which allows to enable/disable acknowledgements. Please consider the possibility to include it into the next release. Diff file is included in attachment.
