# HL7 MLLP Connector 2.2 - Examples

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Use these examples to read and write HL7 messages over the Minimum Lower-Layer Protocol (MLLP).

## Set Global Properties

Set these global properties before using the examples:

- Delimiter

The standard HL7 delimiter value that separates MLLP messages. It is a hexadecimal 0x1C character
also known as FS. Applications in some clinics use a different delimiter value in this field. The
standard value in the HL7 MLLP connector is shown as `001C`.

- Host

Sets the socket host address

- Port

Sets the socket port

For an advanced connection, complete these fields:

- Reuse address

Whether to reuse the configured socket or fail when trying to bind to the socket

- Send TCP With No Delay

Whether or not to transmit data immediately, or collect data for greater efficiency before sending

- Linger

How long (in milliseconds) the socket takes to correctly close so any remaining data transmits.

- Keep alive

Whether to close open socket connections that are unused for a long period with an unavailable
connection.

- Fail on unresolved host

Whether the socket fails during its creation if the host (set on the endpoint) cannot be resolved.

- TLS tab

Configure a new TLS configuration. Its presence implies the use of SSLServerSocket instead of plain
TCP.

- Set the send or receive buffer size.

## Example - Read and Write Message

This example workflow sequentially invokes read and write HL7 messages over MLLP:

- writer-flow

Sends the given message through the socket to be received by the reader-flow

- reader-flow

Receive a MLLP message, and log the message

- The app, index, styles, app-config, rest-service, order-controller, and write-order are used to
  load static resources related to the user interface.
