HL7 international batch messages

Rene Spronk writes in lists.hl7.org INM list:
The Batch material has never gone normative, it is still awaiting the outcome of the Wrappers R2 project/effort.

See http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Batch_Topic_DSTU_R1_Issues for issues related to the interpretation of Batch that haven't been included in the material yet.


Note that the InM decision that a Batch Wrapper does NOT constitute a transactional grouper (which it was in v2) is a major one. A Batch is a grouper for Transmission purposes only.

If you need a transactional grouper (= something you reject as a whole because one of its component interactions has an error) you'll need to deal with that at the controlAct wrapper, e.g.through nested controlActs (something that isn't available at this point in time).
