HL7 Delete Segment Component Reference

Working with instances of HAPI message objects, this component deletes a segment from an HL7 message. If your HL7 message is not a HAPI message object, you must use the HL7 Encoding Transformer to convert it before it passes through the Delete Segment component.

This component is part of the Mule Healthcare Toolkit, which includes transformers, components and connectors for receiving, processing and sending HL7 messages. For details and a full list of available tools, consult the Toolkit’s documentation main page.
