# Test a parser configuration with a sample payload

# Test a parser configuration with a sample payload {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Run a parser configuration against a sample HL7 v2.x message to confirm
that it extracts the segments and fields you expect before you use it in a
workflow. The parsed values appear on the configuration's field maps.

## Before you begin

Role required: HL7 Integration Administrator
(`sn_hl7_v2.admin`).

The parser configuration you want to test, including its segment and field-map
definitions, must already exist.

## About this task

A parser configuration defines which HL7 segments and fields to extract from a
message and the output path for each value in the parsed data. Before relying
on a configuration, test it against a representative sample message to verify
that each field map resolves to the value you expect. The test reads the sample
payload
stored on the configuration and populates the parsed value on each field map,
without affecting any live message processing.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllHL7 IntegrationParser Configurations and open the parser configuration you want to test.
2. Confirm that the configuration has a sample payload defined.  
   If no sample payload is present, add a representative HL7 v2.x message in
   ER7 format before testing.
3. In Related Links at the bottom of the form, click Parse Sample Payload.
4. Open a segment's field-map related list --- for example, the PID segment --- and verify that the Parsed value on each field map matches the corresponding value in the sample message.  

## Result

The field maps display the values parsed from the sample payload, confirming
that the configuration extracts the expected fields. If a parsed value is
empty or incorrect, adjust the segment or field-map definition and parse the
sample payload again.
