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, you can modify the installation.

Under Installed on the left, select HL7 Application and Services.
The Setup options appear on the right.
To specify the SQL Server Connection options, do the following:
Set up the following options:
Server Name - The name or IP address of the database server. Also, if the SQL instance that houses your Dentrix Enterprise database has a name, after the IP address or name of the server, include a backslash (\) and then the instance name.
Database Name - Dentrix is the default name of the database, but it may be different if it has been customized for your installation.
Username - The user name of the SQL user with "Sysadmin" rights.
Password - The password of the Sysadmin user.
Click Check Database Credentials.
A message regarding the results of the connection test appears. Click Ok. If the connection was successful, proceed to the next step; otherwise, change your connection parameters, and attempt to connect again.

Specify the SQL Server Connection options (see step 3).
Click Save Changes.
On the message that appears when the credentials have been saved successfully, click Ok.
