Subject: PPS-N 3.1 updates UUIDs and replaces the new ISAAC service URLs.

Category: 
  - Informational
  - Other

Description:
============

 The Pharmacy Product System - National (PPS-N) is a Web-based application
 that provides the ability to manage pharmacy-specific data across the VA 
 enterprise ensuring that all facilities are using the same base data 
 for their operations. It allows approved national VA personnel to easily, 
 quickly, and safely manage the VA National Formulary which directs which 
 products (such as medications and supplies) are to be purchased and used 
 by the VA hospital system.  
  
 The purpose of this patch is to update the PPS-N application code to 
 integrate with the latest release of the ISAAC service from the 
 Collaborative Terminology Tooling (CTT) & Data Management (DM) project. 
  
 JIRA Task Id  
 ----------------- 
 Number: PPSN-75 
  
 Problem 
 ----------- 
 The PPS-N 3.1.0 application is currently pointing to an ISSAC service URL 
 that will be deprecated and replaced with a new URL via the latest 
 release of the ISAAC service from the CTT & DM project.If this URL is not
 updated within the application code, PPS-N will stop working due to its
 reliance on an old release of the ISAAC service.
 Patch PREN*3.1*5 was initiated to ensure the PPS-N application 
 integrates with the latest release of the ISAAC service from the CTT & 
 DM project. 
  
 Resolution: 
 ---------- 
 Update the portion of JAVA code to ensure the PPS-N application 
 integrates with the latest release of the ISAAC service from the CTT & DM 
 project. 
  
 Test Sites: 
 ----------- 
 User acceptance testing successfully completed by the Business Office.
