Batch Transmission Pattern

The Transmission Sender (an HL7 Application) sends the initial Batch Transmission. The Transmission Receiver (another HL7 Application) performs an accept-level validation, and

1. (if the batch could not be validated) sends an accept-level acknowledgement error, or
2. removes the Batch Transmission Wrapper from the interaction and processes the interactions contained within the batch as if tehse interactions were received as a series of individual interactions.

• The Batch Sender collects zero or more interactions and groups them by means of a Batch wrapper, and sends the Batch (MCCI_IN200100) to the Batch Receiver.

The Accept Acknowledgements (MCCI_IN000002) is only used if the batch interaction has validation issue.
