When finish click on the "Save" button to save your Mapper configuration, named it " ADTA08.MPR". Folow these steps:

1. Copy the HL7 Input file from the previous page to the LINKTools® OrderR folder,
2-Then using Windows command prompt call the LINKTools® Interface Engine to do your data transformation.
Example: c:\link\ltup.exe c:\link\ADTA08.MPR Where c:\link\ltup.exe is the location of your installed LINKTools® Interface Engine (LTUP.EXE) and c:\link\ADTA08.MPR is the saved location of your Dynamic Mapper template file.
3- Check the OrderS folder for your XML output file.
Tip: Use Internet browser to validate your XML file output .
