The HL7 administrative console program and services are required for managing the HL7 interface and exchanging healthcare information with external systems through documents, C-CDA files, and HL7 messages. If the HL7 application and services are installed on the server from an existing installation of Dentrix Enterprise 11.0.4x, you can upgrade the application and services when you are upgrading server features.
Notes:
This program can be installed on this computer and these services on the same or a different computer.
(If you are upgrading from any previous version) If the application and services are not installed, and you want to use them, install them. See the "Installing the HL7 application and services" topic.
(If you are upgrading from 11.0.20 only) If the 11.0.20 application and services are installed, and you want to continue to use them install the 11.0.49 application and services. (Install Manager uninstalls the 11.0.20 application and services and then installs the 11.0.49 application and services.) See the "Installing the HL7 application and services" topic.
