Data Services properties

Configure data services properties to define the input and output types, the data services that the transformation invokes, and the status tracing level on the

Data Services

tab.

Configure the following properties:

Property	Description
Input Type	Type of input that the Data Services transformation receives from the upstream transformation. Select one of the following options: Buffer. The Data Services transformation receives source data in the inputBuffer input field. File. The Data Services transformation receives a source file path in the inputBuffer input field. Default is Buffer.
Output Type	Type of output that the transformation passes on to the downstream transformation. Select one of the following options: Buffer. The Data Services transformation passes the data to the outputBuffer output field. File. The Data Services transformation writes the output to the outputBuffer output field as an output.xml file. Default is Buffer.
Service Type	Type of service that the Data Services transformation uses. Select one of the following options: Data Services. The transformation uses the parser, serializer, and restricted serializer data services in the data services repository. FHIR Validation. The transformation uses a built-in FHIR validation service to validate incoming FHIR bundles and messages in XML or JSON format. You can configure the FHIR version and the terminology server. Hierarchical Mapper. The transformation uses a hierarchical mapper to convert hierarchical input to hierarchical output, such as the XML output from a parser data service to a target XSD file.
Service Name	Select a data service from the data services that reside in the data services repository. Choose this option for a mapping that processes a single message type for a specific standard and usage type. Click Populate Fields to automatically populate the input and output fields based on the data service. Applies when the service type is Data Services and you don't use a dynamic service name.
Dynamic Service Name	Select this option to pass service names to the downstream transformation as parameters. Choose this option for a mapping that processes messages for multiple message types from different standards and usage types. Applies when the service type is Data Services .
Status Tracing Level	Detail level of job status that the Data Services transformation writes to output fields. Select one of the following options: None. The transformation doesn't write the status to output fields. You can view the information in the job the session log. Description only. The transformation writes a status code and a short description to the UDT_Status_Code output field. Full status (XML). The transformation writes a status code to the UDT_Status_Code output field and a detailed XML status message to the UDT_Status_Mesage output field. Default is none. Applies when the service type is Data Services or Hierarchical Mapper .
FHIR Version	FHIR version that the FHIR validation service uses to validate FHIR bundles and messages. Applies when the service type is FHIR Validation .
Terminology Server	URL to the terminology server that the FHIR validation service uses to validate FHIR bundles and messages. If you leave the field blank or the value is n/a, the transformation doesn't use a terminology server to validate the resources. Applies when the service type is FHIR Validation .
Hierarchical Mapper	Hierarchical mapper that the transformation uses to convert hierarchical input to hierarchical output. Applies when the service type is Hierarchical Mapper .
