BizTalk 2010 Error Encountered During Parsing HIPAA 5010 Transactions

Hello,

Last week I was testing the parties after configuration on a BizTalk 2010 server for HIPPA 5010 transactions. I was facing the following error with one of the parties:

Error:

Error encountered during parsing. The X12 interchange with id ’000000001′, with sender id ’9999999 ‘, receiver id ’1111111 ‘ had the following errors:

Error: 1 (Miscellaneous error)

16: Invalid Control Standard Identifier

Error: 2 (Field level error)

SegmentID: ISA

Position in TS: 1

Data Element ID: ISA11

Position in Segment: 11

Data Value: ^

7: Invalid code value

I checked the party settings, everything was looking fine but still I was getting the error.

We know that ISA11 can be used in X12 as a standard identifier or a repetition separator and if we want to use as a repetition separator then we need to check the Envelop value. I did the same but still getting the error.

Then I changed the property of UseIsa11AsRepetitionSeprator value to TRUE, EDI disassembler stage in the pipeline component and it worked.

BizTalk Server 2010 – HIPAA – Errata Hotfix

August 5th, 2011 Posted in BizTalk, Errata, HIPAA 5010, Hotfix, Nimbo India, Soujanya Vangapelli

Hello,

After I installed BizTalk 2010 on my server, I was working with HIPAA 5010 transactions. While testing a few transactions in BizTalk I found that the EDI component functionality was not exactly working as it should. The issue is described below.

Error
The trading partner information in the party configuration is entered correctly. For testing the trading partner I used an EDI default pipeline EDI Receive to disassemble my EDI message. When I proceeded to test the EDI file it gave me the below error

“Finding the document specification by message type ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/X12/2006#X12_00501_837‘ failed. Verify the schema deployed properly”

I tried to change the party settings for the trading partner but no luck. The same error was shown.

Resolution
After BizTalk server 2010 was installed, I hadn’t installed any hotfixes related to HIPAA 5010 transactions. So I installed the Errata hotfix and the transactions worked smoothly.

Microsoft has released a hotfix which enables support for HIPAA 5010 standards in BizTalk Server 2009/ 2010. This hotfix has HIPAA 5010 schemas that you can build and deploy in your EDI application.

This hotfix can be downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973415.

  • Extract the hotfix and run the setup.exe application.
  • Restart the BizTalk host instance [system restart is not required].
  • Run the MicrosoftEdiXSDTemplatesKb2510733.exe file form the hotfix folder to extract latest HIPAA 5010 schemas. Save the schemas to the directory.

    • Note: “\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010\XSD_Schema\EDI”

  • Use standard procedure for building and deploying the schemas.

    • This update is available for following transactions:

    Transaction Base Version ST03/GS08 Errata Version ST03/GS08
    270,271 Eligibility benefit Inquiry and Response 005010X279 005010X279A1
    834 Benefit Enrollment 005010X220 005010X220A1
    835 Claim Payment/ Advice 005010X221 005010X221A1
    837 Professional 005010X222 005010X222A1
    837 Institutional 005010X223 005010X223A2
    837 Dental 005010X223 005010X223A2

    Result
    Finally the EDI component worked and I was able to run the transactions without any failures.
