XL-200 Middleware

Ignoring LIMS Responses

In environments where the middleware should continue operating even when the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is unreachable or returns an unexpected status code, set the ignoreLimsResponse flag. When enabled, the middleware will log warnings for failed HTTP responses but will treat them as successful.

Enable the flag with either a JVM system property:

java -DignoreLimsResponse=true -jar xl200.jar

or by setting the environment variable before starting the application:

export IGNORE_LIMS_RESPONSE=true
java -jar xl200.jar

Custom Configuration Location

By default the middleware loads its settings from C:\CCMW\SysmaxXS500i\settings\XL200\config.json. To use a different file, provide the path via the xl200.config.path system property or the XL200_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

Example using the system property:

java -Dxl200.config.path=/path/to/config.json -jar xl200.jar

Or set the environment variable:

export XL200_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/config.json
java -jar xl200.jar

Query Record Handling

When the analyzer sends a query record the middleware now forwards the sample ID to the LIMS using the /test_orders_for_sample_requests endpoint. Any test codes present in the query are extracted and forwarded so multiple requested tests are handled correctly.
