HIPAA Compliance Editor allows you to edit EDI files manually, but it also has the capacity to integrate with any scheduler or script to allow for automated processing. In the case of HIPAA Compliance Editor, you can use a Command Prompt to do the following:
oSplit and Sort on a File Level (splitandsort)
oEnter Debug Mode (-debug)
oSplit and Sort on a Transaction Set Level
oSplit Large File
Before any command can be done, the file and directory paths must be configured in your settings (see General Settings, Large File Splitter Settings, and Sorting EDI Files).
When using Command Prompt, the application will evaluate the path to the file or directory, then it will execute the action listed in the Command Prompt. By default, if there is no action listed, it will validate the file and sort it as configured in the file sorting settings. See the examples below:
Example of the command line to validate and sort a single file.
Example of the command line to validate and sort all files within a directory.
In Debug Mode, you can see a detailed log of all the processes taking place in the HIPAA Compliance Editor. This is a feature that advanced users can employ in case there is a need to make any modifications and check for any issues. When using Debug Mode in Command Prompt, you can see all the actions taken by the application live.

The split and sort command will perform this action to the selected file on the transaction set level. This means Command Prompt will sort your transaction sets as configured in the settings. This can also be done on the file level by specifying a file.

With Command Prompt, you can also perform the split large files action as configured in your settings.
