Back-Out/Roll Back Plan: ------------------------ Back-out will be done only with the concurrence and participation of development team and appropriate VA site/region personnel.

A national help desk ticket should be logged before attempting any backout procedures. Prior to installing an updated KIDS package, the site/region should have saved a backup in a mail message using the Backup a Transport Global [XPD BACKUP] menu option (this is done at time of install). The message containing the backup can be loaded with the "Xtract PackMan" function at the Message Action prompt. The Packman function "INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE" is then used to install the backup onto the VistA System. If the new backup build option was used, after Xtracting the patch message use the KIDS Installation menu and enter RA*5.0*229B at the INSTALL NAME prompt. Data modified by this patch will be rolled back by utilizing the backup of RADIOLOGY CPT BY PROCEDURE TYPE (#73.2) file that was automatically created during the install and saved into global ^XTMP("RA229 PrePatch Save") Routine Information: ==================== The second line of each of these routines now looks like: ;;5.0;Radiology/Nuclear Medicine;**[Patch List]**;Mar 16, 1998;Build 4 The checksums below are new checksums, and can be checked with CHECK1^XTSUMBLD.
