[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: Install the ohf bridge locally or use the online version ? 
Hi Corey,

These are good questions. I'll take a stab at answering some of the below and get Eishay to fill in the blanks:

1. Yes, the OHF Bridge (I think this is what you mean) will be coming to connectathon as will Eishay and I and other members of the OHF team. We plan on running a local instance of the Bridge at Connectathon for all Connectathon participants using OHF in this manner (ie. those not doing a local install of the OHF Bridge)

2. Yes there are others doing testing this way. Once you set up your Mesa PC for testing, let us know the IP and we will set up an "Affinity Domain" just for you to do your testing against. You will send your test input via your application to the bridge with a session context that includes the "Affinity Domain" that we set up for you that targets your Mesa PC. The bridge will do the additional processing needed for the transaction and then hit your PC. This is how we envision doing this ... there may be a few details that we will have to work out.

Also, the MESA PC is only used for some of the tests. Tests for the XDS Document Source and Document Consumer do not use the Mesa PC, rather hit a real test XDS Registry and Repository provided by NIST.

3. I believe the Bridge handles the affinity domain configuration. Since you will not be locally installing the Bridge, you will need to communicate your domain needs to us. The Bridge currently handles multiple affinity domain configurations and yest RHIO and affinity domain are terms that are often used interchangably.

4. The scope of the identifier depends on your query. The affinity domain used for Connectathon 2007 will have the following OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.21367.2005.3.7. Look for this one.


Eishay ... have any clarifications to add?

All,

My company plans on using the online OHF Portal without installing the Bridge locally for the MESA tests as well as the connectathon. I have several questions regarding this.

1. Will the OHF Portal be available for use during the connectathon and the HIMSS Demo. If so, what are the risks in doing so? Is there anything we have to set up to with IHE to do this (declaring a partnership, alerting IHE that our system is using the OHF server, etc.)

2. Are there any others that are using the Bridge to test with the MESA tools? If so how can one set this up?

3. How does the OHF handle affinity domains? Should this automatically come with using the OHF, or will the client have to manage communicating multiple domains? Is an affinity domain synonymous with a RHIO?

4. What is the scope of the patient identifier we get after we do a patient search? Is that the identifier that can be used for that particular affinity domain?



Thank you,
Corey Spears

Hi,

We've getting an increasing amount of OHF users who would like to use the bridge for the Connectathon 2007.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/IHE_Connectathon_2007

My advice is that at least until the connectathon you should use the bridge online version located at:
http://ibmod235.dal-ebis.ihost.com:8090/bridge/services/ohf-bridge?wsdl

This is the same version that the OHF IHE Portal is using:
http://ibmod235.dal-ebis.ihost.com:8080/

The reasoning is that we still don't have the binaries available for download so it might be a bit of a challenge to install the bridge from scratch.
In addition, we are updating the bridge daily (announcing only grand updates) with new bug fix and IHE functionality. Using the online version will relieve you from checking the CVS every day for new versions.

For those who do use the on line version, please send questions through the newsgroup. For first time users we will be happy to have a short phone call introduction and we'll make sure you can do at least one successful transaction before letting you continue by your own.
