The ATL COM module hospitalMCDRequest is capable of
generating XML and/or paper based MCD requests
API browser of hospitalMCDRequest451 COM module


/images/arrow_right.png IHospitalMCDRequestManager::GetXML method
The GetXML method generates the XML infoset based on the data of the IHospitalMCDRequest interface and the XML generation attributes, validates the XML against the XSD schema, and stores the XML content as UTF8 file in the internal working directory. The full file name to this XML document is replied in the pbstrOutputFile output variable.

The XML file must be saved to a different location as all temporary XML files in the working directory are deleted before the COM module shuts down!

Note about compatibility: the COM module is natively capable of producing the current hospitalMCDRequest_451 standard as well as its predecessors, hospitalMCDRequest_450 and hospitalMCDRequest_440. In the case of the predecessors use the lGenerationAttributes=enGenerateDowngradeToV450 or lGenerationAttributes=enGenerateDowngradeToV440 command.

Note about encryption: an encrypted XML infoset can not be loaded successfully by LoadXML as the private certificate of the "to" is certainly not available. Therefore, to build a local archive besides encrypted XML infoset, call GetXML twice once with the lGenerationAttributes= enGenerateXMLWithoutEncryption.

/images/arrow_right.png Calling argument description
[in] long lGenerationAttributes This variable overrules the default behavior of the XML generation process even if the appropriate data have been defined.

lGenerationAttributes is a 32-bit integer where the possible "commands" are values from the generationAttributes data type ORed together to form the overall command.

This feature is necessary to generate different "flavors" of XML infosets without re-setting input data. For instance, an encrypted XML infoset for the "to" entity can be produced and in a second call the XML infoset without encryption (lGenerationAttributes=enGenerateXMLWithoutEncryption) is requested for a local archive (that can be loaded back later!).
[out] BSTR *pbstrOutputFile The full file name (path + name) where the XML infoset is stored in UTF-8 mode.

The XML file must be saved to a different location as all temporary XML files in the working directory are deleted before the COM module shuts down!
[out] long *plValidationError lValidationError is filled with the validation error code returned by the MSXML DOM parser. A zero value indicates that the validation was successful.
[out] long *plTimestamp The timestamp of the XML document as epoch time (seconds elapsed since 1.1.1970) that is used as timestamp of the topmost object reference from that point on.

If the timestamp for the topmost object reference was already set (e.g. to produce a copy) then this same timestamp is returned.
[out] BSTR *pbstrUsedSchema The full XSD name that was used to generate the XML infoset.

In a standard situation this would be hospitalMCDRequest_451.xsd. However, a downgrade to hospitalMCDRequest_450.xsd or hospitalMCDRequest_440.xsd can be requested by using lGenerationAttributes=enGenerateDowngradeToV450 or lGenerationAttributes=enGenerateDowngradeToV440, respectively .
[out] IHospitalMCDResult **ppIHospitalMCDResult The instance of a IHospitalMCDResult interface allows to read all loaded data back.
The handle is NULL if an error occurred.
[out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *pbStatus Return status of the method. If pbStatus is VARIANT_FALSE then an error occurred and GetAbortInfo should be called to retrieve the error string.
 
/images/arrow_right.png C/C++ return value
S_OK This value is returned if the function call was successful or if the return value of a boolean method signalling a true value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_TRUE.
S_FALSE This is the return value of a boolean method signalling a false return value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_FALSE.
E_name This value is returned if the function call was unsuccessful and an error exception was generated. Note that if you are using SmartPointers an exception is thrown under these conditions.
