Check that medical devices are correctly connected, and inspect the status of any queues that are holding healthcare messages.
Use the following steps to set up monitoring for your medical devices:
The table on the Medical Device Log tab is updated with status messages about the attached medical devices. The latest messages are displayed at the top. The messages can be Information, Error, or Warning messages. If the message is an Error message, a warning triangle is displayed in the first column. To receive these messages, WebSphere Message Broker Explorer must be connected to a broker. The status messages on the Medical Device Log tab are transient. Therefore, if you exit WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, all status messages are cleared. If you restart WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you start with an empty log.
The subscription point for status messages is $SYS/Broker/+/DeviceStatus, which is case-sensitive. The plus sign (+) acts as a wildcard and can contain the broker name. For example, if your broker is called MedicalBroker the messages are published to the $SYS/Broker/MedicalBroker/DeviceStatus subscription point. The table contains the same messages that are sent from the Status terminal of the MedicalDeviceInput node. You can also use this subscription point to read status messages or to output a message box alert from your own appliance. For information about subscribing, see Subscribers and subscriptions and Publish⁄Subscribe User's Guide in the WebSphere MQ Version 7 documentation.
