Are there any tools out there available that can be used to create conformance Profile other than Messaging Workbench (MWB). So far this is the only tool that I have found

I am having a difficult time creating a conformance profile on for a particular messaging specification in MWB due to the complexity and lack of documentation of the MWB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you’d like to create conformance profiles by scratch, or by generating rules from existing messages then I recommend you use the HL7 Soup tool.

They have a video on the subject here that will cover how to create the rules, and get you started.

http://www.hl7soup.com/ValidateHighlightAndCompare.html

Once you’ve created the profile it can be exported to others.

  • Please elaborate on the functionality of this application in regard to conformance profiles. Is this application able to read a current conformance profile in XML? Is this application able to generate a non-proprietary profile in XML correct conformance profile format? – Villumanati Nov 01 '16 at 19:25

To build conformance profiles from scratch or from existing messages, you may take a look at Caristix Conformance (http://caristix.com/hl7-tools/conformance/scope-hl7-interfaces/). Once you have the conformance profile set, you can compare it with another profile (or set of messages) an get a gap analysis report.

This tool is much easier to use than Messaging Workbench.

  • If you are referring to the Messaging Workbench format, it can import from or export to this format using an add-on (http://caristix.com/hl7-tools/hl7-connectors/messaging-workbench/). It can also export/import from/to several integration engine proprietary format. On top of that, it can help you manage profile versioning, documentation generation and several other productivity features. – jlmorin Nov 03 '16 at 02:55
