3. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
============================================================

Installation prerequisites

Before you install this version of the Pack for HIPAA EDI V4.3.2.2, one of the versions of the WebSphere Transformation Extender base product, as listed in the following table, must first be installed.

If you are installing the pack from the ESD site, install the pack using the executable (*.exe) file associated with your WebSphere Transformation base product as indicated in the table below:

WebSphere Transformation Extender base product required	Executable file
8.1.0.5 or later	hipaa4322_81.exe
8.2.0.6 or later	hipaa4322_82.exe
8.3.0.4 or later	hipaa4322_83.exe

Installing on Windows

For the procedure to install the Pack for HIPAA EDI on Windows, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2320&uid=swg27019810

To install the Pack for HIPAA EDI on z/OS, or UNIX, refer to the procedures below.

Installing on z/OS

Perform the following steps for each z/OS execution platform prior to porting and executing the HIPAA X12 Compliance Check application on that platform:

1. Transfer the load library module file:

install_dir\packs\healthcare_vn.n\platform_support\mvs\hcsvu.loadlib

as binary. to a z/OS dataset of 80-byte fixed length records named 'my.hipaa.upload'. There should be no ASCII to EBCDIC translation and no elimination of carriage-return or line-feed characters.

2. After the file is on z/OS, issue the TSO Receive command to create a load library as follows:

1. At the prompt, enter the following: ready
2. Enter the following: receive inda ('my.hipaa.upload')

3. After you have entered the TSO Recieve command (above), you will see the following messages:

INMR901I Dataset HCSVU, UPLOAD from USER on NODENAME
INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +

4. Enter the name of the load library to be created as follows: da ('my.hipaa.loadlib')

Messages are displayed that indicate that the load library is being created.

5. In the JCL responsible for executing the HIPAA X12 Compliance Check application, include a STEPLIB for the created load library that appears before the WebSphere Transformation Extender Core Install loadlib. For example:

//STEPLIB    DD    DSN=MY.HIPAA.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//           DD    DSN=MY.WTX.INSTALL.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR

Installing on UNIX

After installing the Pack for HIPAA EDI on a windows workstation, perform the following steps for each UNIX execution platform prior to porting and executing the HIPAA X12 Compliance Check application on that platform.

1. Copy the UNIX shared library object for the HIPAA X12 structure validation utility, hcsvu.so or hcsvu.sl, from path: install_dir\packs\hipaa\platform_support\os where 'os' indicates the aix, hp, or sun operating system folder) to install_dir/libs on the tartet machine.
2. Ensure that permissions on the shared library are set for read and execute.

If the setup script in the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender installation library is not run by the profile of the user, then the hcsvu.sl/hcsvu.so should be copied to the location on the target machine that contains the compiled compliance check application maps.


============================================================
4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS, PROBLEMS, AND WORKAROUNDS
============================================================

Support on Trading Manager

The Pack for HIPAA EDI V4.3.2.2 is supported on Trading Manager 8.2.1.5.

Type 5 example requires WebSphere Transformation Extender examples

When running the Pack for HIPAA EDI on WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.3, the WebSphere Transformation extender examples must be installed.

============================================================
5. NEW AND CHANGED BEHAVIOR
============================================================

Post Office Box and Lock Box Error Determination

The Claims transactions (5010X222A1, 5010X223A2 and 5010X224A2) have notes in the TR3's indicating that a Post Office Box or Lock Box address is to be sent in the 2010AB N3 Segment (not the 2010AA N3 segment). Although these are free text fields, and there is no way to guarantee the absence of these types of addresses in the 2010AA N3 segment without the risk of rejecting a valid address.

Disabled component rules have been added to the type trees that will allow you to enforce the rules if needed. These rules do not impact prior validation, but if you require this extra validation, these rules can be enabled.

To enable the rules in their entirety, refer to the following instructions:

In the hipaa_x12_type_2.mtt, hipaa_x12_type_4.mtt and hipaa_x12.mtt type trees remove the forward slashes (//) in the following component rules which can be found as follows:

1) Open:
EDI -> ANSI -> V5010X222A1 -> Set -> Partner -> Inbound -> #837 -> Loop -> NM1 -> Billing_Provider -> Provider_Level_Group

2) On the N3 Segment of this Group, remove the // from the beginning of each line of the component rule. The rule appears as shown below when it is enabled:

FIND("POBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVELPHANUM(AddressInfo element[1]:$)))= 0 &
FIND("POSTOFFICEBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM(AddressInfo Element[1]:$))) = 0 &
FIND("LOCKBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM(AddressInfo Element[1]:$))) = 0 &
FIND("POBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM(AddressInfo Element[2]:$))) = 0 &
FIND("POSTOFFICEBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM(AddressInfo Element[2]:$))) = 0 &
FIND("LOCKBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM(AddressInfo Element[2]:$))) = 0

3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 (above) for the Outbound Billing Provider Group:
EDI -> ANSI -> V5010X222A1 -> Set -> Partner ->Outbound -> #837 -> Loop -> NM1 -> Billing_Provider -> Provider_Level Group

4) The rules are available in each claims transaction (5010X222A1, 5010X223A2 and 5010X224A2). Enable each transaction that you want to use by repeating steps a through c (below) for each required transaction.

In hipaa_x12_segment.mtt, remove the forward slashes in the following component rules which can be found as follows:

a.Open:
EDI->ANSI->V5010X222A1->Segment->N3->Loop_2010AA Group

b. On the First AddressInfo Element in this Group, remove the // from the beginning of each line of the component rule. The rule will look like this when enabled:

WHEN(NOT(ISERROR($)),
ONERROR(FIND("POBOX",UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($)))=0, "E*1*E*C*6*C") &
ONERROR(FIND("POSTOFFICEBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($))) = 0, "E*1*E*C*6*C") &
ONERROR(FIND("LOCKBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($))) = 0, "E*1*E*C*6*C"))

c. On the Other AddressInfo Element in this Group, remove the forward slashes (//) from the beginning of each line of the component rule. The rule appears as shown below when enabled:

WHEN(NOT(ISERROR($)),
ONERROR(FIND("POBOX",UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($)))=0, "E*2*E*C*6*C") &
ONERROR(FIND("POSTOFFICEBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($))) = 0, "E*2*E*C*6*C") &
ONERROR(FIND("LOCKBOX", UPPERCASE(LEAVEALPHANUM($))) = 0, "E*2*E*C*6*C"))

The rules are available in each claims transaction (5010X222A1, 5010X223A2 and 5010X224A2). Enable each transaction that you use by repeating steps a through c (above) for each required transaction.

After all required component rules are enabled, analyze and save the trees, then rebuild all compliance check maps.
