The IDI Clearinghouse Service uses error files to track unexpected problems during processing. The IDI Clearinghouse Service processes files as a whole. Even if only one record is in error, the entire file is considered in error. If an error occurs, a notification is sent as set up in the OnAfterErrorFile event. This notification can be viewed using the Clearinghouse Management application in the IDI Desktop Client.
The name of the error file that is created includes the name of the original file plus an extension of .error. For example, an error in outcollect.txt would produce an error file named outcollect.txt.error.
All IDI Clearinghouse Service error files are placed in the Error Directory as set up in Config Console. See Configuring the Directories. The original file that contained the error is also moved to the Error Directory.
The error file contains the following information.
File Type ID | The File Type of the file generating the error. |
Original File Name | The name of the file that created the error. |
Process Date | The date the Error file was processed. |
OrigCXRFileID | The unique file identifier. Only set if a failure occurs during a reprocess. |
Error messages | The list of errors that occurred within the file. |
Once an Error file has been created, you can choose to View Details, Reprocess, or Archive the file through the Clearinghouse Management.
