$TXT Created by ALVIN JR at MBOXCACHE.FO-BIRM.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Friday, 04/19/24 at 10:10 ============================================================================= Run Date: JUN 25, 2024 Designation: DG*5.3*1120 Package : DG - REGISTRATION Priority: Mandatory Version : 5.3 SEQ #980 Status: Released Compliance Date: JUL 25, 2024 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)DG*5.3*1108 <<= must be installed BEFORE `DG*5.3*1120' Subject: VAS SWITCH ALERT Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch contains the following enhancements to the VistA Audit Solution (VAS) DG VAS EXPORT: Create Alert for the VAS Export Switch in VistA ================================================ A MailMan message alert will now be sent to members of the DG VAS MONITOR mail group when the VAS Export send status switch is changed. The VAS Export send status switch may be changed at the VAS STATUS prompt in the Modify VAS Parameters [DG VAS MODIFY] option in the VistA Audit Solution (VAS) options menu [DG VAS MENU]. The possible values of VAS STATUS send switch are: 0 Don't generate or send data 1 Generate and send data 2 Generate data, don't send With the patch, if the value of the VAS STATUS send switch is modified from any value to any value, a MailMan message alert will be sent to all members of the DG VAS MONITOR mail group. The subject of the MailMan message contains the text VAS EXPORT SWITCH ALERT. The body of the MailMan message contains the new switch value, the old switch value, the date/time the switch was changed, the Internal Entry Number (IEN/DUZ) of the user who edited the switch value, the number of audit records waiting in the VAS Export queue, and the maximum number of records allowed in the VAS Export queue. Example, VAS Export Switch Alert --------------------------------- Subj: VAS EXPORT SWITCH ALERT999 [#310785] 04/18/24@09:34 10 lines From: NOREPLY.DOMAIN.EXT In 'IN' basket. Page 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The VistA Audit Solution (VAS) send status switch was changed at Station 500 (Test) (ALBANY-MDEVC) on Apr 18, 2024 at 09:34:06 New Value: 'Don't generate or send data' Old Value: 'Generate and send data' The ^DGAUDIT global contains 3 entries. The maximum number of entries in the queue is 60001. [10000000009] *NOTE: The number inside the brackets at the end of the alert is the Internal Entry Number of the user who performed the edit. Don't Reset VAS Export Audit File Date ========================================== With this patch, the VAS Export audit file pointer date will not be reset to the current date/time every time the VAS STATUS send switch is set to 'send'. The DATE VAS STARTED field (#.04) will be set to the current date/time the FIRST time the switch is set to 'Send'. Subsequent changes to the VAS Export switch will not affect this date. This date is used by the VAS Export to identify the earliest audit date/time to retrieve from the AUDIT file (#1.1). New (first time) installs of VAS Export will send audits occurring on or after the date/time the switch is initially set to 'Send'. Turning the switch off and then back to 'Send' will result in NO loss of update records. Inquire records may still be lost since they are not persisted in the AUDIT file (#1.1). ========================================================================= NOTE: When running the ^XINDEX routine, errors will be encountered after the installation of this patch. Routine DGAUDIT1 uses the HealtheVet Web Services Client (HWSC), calling Cache Class methods to write a JSON record to the web service, read the response from the web service, and retrieve the error code if one exists. A Department of Veterans Affairs Cache Programming Standards and Conventions (SAC) Exemption request was granted on 02/14/2022, reference number 20220214-02. ************************************************************************** The errors reported by XINDEX are: Routine: DGAUDIT1 ------------------ S DGERRCODE=DGRESPERR.code ERRSPMSG+4 W - Vendor specific code is restricted.] Patch Components: ----------------- Files & Fields Associated: N/A Forms Associated: N/A Mail Groups Associated: N/A Options Associated: N/A Protocols Associated: N/A Security Keys Associated: N/A Templates Associated: N/A Remote Procedures Associated: N/A Parameter Definitions Associated: N/A Additional Information: New Service Requests (NSRs): ---------------------------- N/A Patient Safety Issues (PSIs): ----------------------------- N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: -------------------------------------------- N/A Test Sites: ---------- Central Arkansas HCS, Little Rock, AR Tampa HCS, Tampa, FL Texas Valley Coastal Bend HCS, Harlingen, TX Test Sites - SNOW Change Orders: -------------------------------- Central Arkansas HCS - CHG0488018 Tampa HCS - CHG0487789 Texas Valley Coastal Bend HCS - CHG0488018 Software and Documentation Retrieval Instructions: -------------------------------------------------- The software for this patch is being released in a PackMan message.
