After you have added a MedicalDeviceInput node to a message
flow, configure it. You configure a MedicalDeviceInput node by selecting
the configurable service that your node uses. The configurable service
contains the configuration information for the devices that send medical
data to the node.
Before you begin
Before you start:
- You must add a MedicalDeviceInput node
to a message flow, see Adding a MedicalDeviceInput node.
- Ensure that the configurable service you want to use in your MedicalDeviceInput node is not already
used in another MedicalDeviceInput node.
About this task
The configuration information for a MedicalDeviceInput node is contained
in a configurable service. You must select a configurable service
for every MedicalDeviceInput node.
Do not use a configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node in more
than one node. For more information about the configuration information
contained in a configurable service, see MedicalDeviceInput nodes in message flows.
To configure your MedicalDeviceInput node
you can create a new configurable service or select an existing configurable
service. Existing configurable service files can be selected from
your current workspace or imported from a file that is outside your
workspace.
Procedure
- To configure your MedicalDeviceInput node by creating
a new configurable service:
- In the Message Flow editor, right-click the MedicalDeviceInput node you want
to configure and select Properties.
- In the Properties view, click Basic.
- Click New.
The Create
a New Configurable Service window opens.
- Enter a name for the configurable service and click OK.
The Medical Device Configurable Service editor opens.
- Optional: Edit the configurable service;
see Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the IBM Integration Toolkit.
- If you did not close the Medical Device Configurable Service editor after editing the configurable
service, close the Medical Device Configurable Service editor by
clicking Close on the Medical Device Configurable Service editor tab.
- To configure your MedicalDeviceInput node by selecting
an existing configurable service that is in the same workspace as
the message flow that contains your MedicalDeviceInput node:
- In the Message Flow editor, right-click the MedicalDeviceInput node you want
to configure and select Properties.
- In the Properties view, click Basic.
- Click Select.
The Select
Configurable Service window opens.
- Select the required configurable service in the Matching
resources section.
You can filter the list
of configurable services by entering filter text in the Select
a resource to open field. If a configurable service with
the same name is contained in more than one folder, select the required
folder in the In folder section.
- Click OK.
The Select
Configurable Service window closes and the new configurable
service name is shown in the Configurable service name field.
- To configure your MedicalDeviceInput node by importing
an existing configurable service from a file that is outside your
workspace:
- In the Message Flow editor, right-click the MedicalDeviceInput node you want
to configure and select Properties.
- In the Properties view, click Basic.
- Click Import.
The Import
a Configurable Service File window opens.
- Select the required configurable service file and click Open.
The Import a Configurable Service File window
closes and the new configurable service name is shown in the Configurable
service name field.
What to do next
Next:Edit the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node to add device
connections and measurement sets. See Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the IBM Integration Toolkit.
