Path: Transactions>General>HIS Export

After you export HIS forms with the HIS Export wizard, a .zip file is created with separate .xml files for each exported form. The default file location is the HIS folder where the application is installed unless other location is specified in Administration>Configuration>Business Units>Settings>Exports.

 

ZIP and XML files naming formats
Format Explanation

HIS_<yyyymmdd_hhmmss>.zip

The name of a .zip file is created at the time of export where "yyyymmdd" is the date and "hhmmss" is the time when the file was exported.

Example: HIS_20140508_085634.zip

HIS_<yyyymmdd_hhmmss>_<N>.zip

If a .zip file size exceeds 5 MB, then it is split into separate files where "N" is the number of the file within the export = [1, 2, 3…].

Examples:

HIS_20140508_085634_1.zip

HIS_20140508_085634_2.zip

tHIS_<yyyymmdd_hhmmss>.zip tHIS_<yyyymmdd_hhmmss>_<N>.zip

For test mode, the prefix t is added to the file name.

Examples:

tHIS_20140508_085633.zip

tHIS_20140508_085634_1.zip

tHIS_20140508_085634_2.zip

HIS_<PatientID>_<FormDate:yyyymmdd><FormType>_<Form_ID>_<yyyymmdd_ hhmmss>.xml

For each exported HIS form, a separate .xml file is created with the unique name that consists of patient code, date of the form, type of the form (A or D), form ID, and date and time when the form was exported. 

Example:

HIS_157_20140101A_10252_20140411_ 085634.xml

tHIS_<PatientID>_<FormDate:yyyymmdd><FormType>_<Form_ID>_<yyyymmdd_ hhmmss>.xml

For test mode, the prefix t is added to the file name.

Example:

tHIS_157_20140101A_10252_20140411_085634.xml
