Associated Remedy Tickets: ========================== INC0000000728230 AR DATA not transmitting Duplicates: INC000000722450 6/16/12 daily update of missing batches INC000000753717 CBO/ARC FTP Attempt INC000000773383 CBO Extract FTP Transmission to the ARC INC000000790239 Sioux Falls CBO Extract FTP Transmission to the ARC INC000000819122 Fargo CBO Extract FTP Transmission to the ARC Associated NSR(s): ================== NA Participating Test Sites: ========================= VA Black Hills HCS VA Northwest Iowa HCS (Omaha) St.Cloud VAMC Remedy Overview: ================ HD0000000728230 AR DATA not transmitting Problem: -------- Site reported that the Data Extract files generated for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) CBO were unable to transfer using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to the Allocation Resource Center (ARC) automatically after the site migrated to a full Linux operating system. Resolution: ----------- Modified routines RCXVFTP and RCXVFTC to perform valid FTP commands for a full Linux operating system environment. Pre-installation Instructions: ============================== IMPORTANT NOTE - for Linux based systems: Prior to installation, sites should identify a directory to which Taskman has full read/write access. It is recommended that you use the same HFS directory as specified in the PRIMARY HFS DIRECTORY field (#320) of the KERNEL SYSTEM PARAMETERS file (#8989.3). For Linux based systems, this should have the form /srv/vista/scd/user/hfs/ (where scd is the 3 letter site code). You will need to enter this into the VITRIA STANDARD DIRECTORY field (#20.01) of the AR SITE PARAMETER file (#342) using Fileman. Note that the preceding and trailing slash ('/') in the directory name is important. Example: Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES INPUT TO WHAT FILE: AR SITE PARAMETER// 342 AR SITE PARAMETER (1 entry) EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// 20.01 VITRIA STANDARD DIRECTORY THEN EDIT FIELD: Select AR SITE PARAMETER: `1 EL PASO VA HCS VITRIA STANDARD DIRECTORY: /srv/vista/elp/user/hfs/ Replace IMPORTANT NOTE - for non-Linux based systems: No changes should be made to the directory or AR Site Parameter file at this time. If you convert to a Linux based system in the future, you will need to remember to follow the instructions for Linux based systems. ALL SITES: Please add yourself to the existing Mail Group specified by the MAIL GROUP field (#20.02) of the AR SITE PARAMETER file (#342) (i.e. RCXVFTP). This Mail Group will receive any FTP or other extract related failure messages.
