Sumex1.net/generalInvoiceResponse: Overview

Overview

The generalInvoiceResponse module provides all the necessary tools for loading and thereafter analyzing general invoice XML infosets. These infosets are responses to a previously sent invoices or reminders where the topmost object reference defines target request/response.

Architectural blueprint

To get the results of such an infoset, firstly the XML file is loaded into the module by the IGeneralInvoiceResponseManager::LoadXML method. Upon successful analyzing the file the method returns a IGeneralInvoiceResponse interface. All response data and parameters of one invoice can be retrieved by the supplied interface methods as e.g. IGeneralInvoiceResponse:GetPatient,...

The IGeneralInvoiceResponseManager::Print method can be used to visualize the whole response content.

Please also have a look at the Important Documents that serves as a jump start and might effect the ease of the implementation.

16.03.22	4.50.004	GeneralInvoiceResponseManager with a XML feature update - cf. history Download GeneralInvoiceResponseManager installer (17.6 MB)
		Revision history This is a feature update, that does allow to read and analyze XML infosets without the named namespace prefix 'invoice:'. The corresponding XSD qualifies each element with elementFormDefault='qualified', that make XML files without a named namespace schema in effect invalid. However, it seems that such files are produced and this feature update allows to successfully overcome this error. Actions for developers: none Actions for end users: install

		Revision history Code enhancements, performance optimization and internal bug fixes have been integrated as given by the following list: Update of the code part responsible for the QR code production and layout. This update became necessary due to standardization change published by the QR standardization body. The updated code now produces standard compliant QR invoices that becomes normative beginning mid of 2020 Performance optimization of the logging management regarding the recycling process when reaching the high water mark of the logfile. This change improves the performance of the recycling process having an effect primarily for a massive multi-threaded environment.

		Revision history Code enhancements and internal bug fixes have been integrated as given by the following list: Bug fix of the printing engine not showing certain print objects like Datamatrix/QR codes when running the COM dll under a service environment. Revised/optimised logging regarding the binding to the interface instance has been implemented. This change improves analysis in a massive multi-threaded environment. Revised error management (enhanced binding to the interface instance) suitable for a massive multi-threaded environment The processing of a XML file is done in two passes due to memory and performance considerations. Any Base64 attachments are extracted and saved separately beforehand the basis XML data are loaded into the DOM. When splitting up these Base64 files a bug occurring with very small attachments was fixed. Actions for developers: none Actions for end users: install

		Revision history Code enhancements and internal bug fixes have been integrated as given by the following list A cleanup task for temporary files has been added. In fact, all files temporary generated are deleted once the main interface is shut down. However, there are situations where files are still locked at shutdown and thus are not deletable at that moment. As a remedy, the cleanup task is started periodically to check for files older than 5 days that are deleted eventually.
