In case anyone reads this... I believe I have my answer. If an online backup is already running, the freeze/thaw doesn't affect it however it doesn't look like the freeze actually works...so you end up with a bad snapshot.
If you try and start an online backup while the instance is frozen it tells you there's already a backup running and will not let you start the online backup.
I installed screen and it looks promising ! Gonna give it a try, thank you Alexander !
Ok... so I think I might be on to something. What Class Name should I use for the Process setting for a CSV to HL7 interface ?
That was it... thank you Christopher !! And thank you for your suggestion about the field names, makes perfect sense and I will follow that recommendation :)
Excellent point Jeffrey, I've only seen the symbol's changed in MSH-2 during an HL7 training course I took many many moons ago, but you are technically correct.
I do think the popup that comes up in Ensemble in the Message Viewer and the DTL Tester is misleading though, since the ampersand is a subcomponent separator, shouldn't the popup show 3.1.1.1 rather than 3.1.2 ?
I believe I have it figured out.... I changed the value to "&GDT"
it is the way the Ensemble Tester was showing that threw me off : (
When I would run the DTL through the tester and hover over the result field, it would show 3.1.2, but when I actually used the transform in a rule and ran the same message through, it showed up in the destination system in 3.1.1.
I guess this is a life lesson, don't trust the output message in the Test Transform ! I wasted a couple hours trying different combinations and characters.....grrrrrrr
