============================================================================= Run Date: OCT 27, 2010 Designation: ECX*3*124 Package : ECX - DSS EXTRACTS Priority: Mandatory Version : 3 SEQ #113 Status: Released Compliance Date: NOV 27, 2010 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)ECX*3*120 <<= must be installed BEFORE `ECX*3*124' Subject: UPDATES DSS TO USE A QUASAR API Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch will resolve the following problems: 1) The patch will make an update to the QUASAR Extract (ECXQSR) so users will no longer receive a system error while running the ECQ (Quasar Extract) option. 2) This patch will correct a problem when transmitting extracts using the Extract Files [ECXTRANS] option. ***This is a combined patch with patch ACKQ*3*17. Both patches will be loaded into your system when the combined host file ACKQ_17_ECX_124.KID is loaded. The patches are combined due to the fact that the ECX application retrieves data from the ACKQ application. The change that is being made in the ACKQ patch will affect the ECX application. It is imperative that both patches are installed at the same time to prevent error. Combining these patches will ensure both patches are installed together.*** ASSOCIATED REMEDY TICKET: ========================= 1. HD0000000332321 - UPDATE+87^ECXQSR +4 2. HD0000000373348 - Site experienced trouble transmitting CLI extract. ASSOCIATED NSR(s): ================== N/A PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= VA New York Harbor HCS James A Haley Veterans Hospital - Tampa Wilmington VA Medical Center REMEDY OVERVIEW: ================ 1. HD0000000332321 - UPDATE+87^ECXQSR +4 Problem: -------- DSS is making an incorrect read of a QUASAR global. Resolution: ----------- DSS is going to use an API to read the necessary information from QUASAR An integration agreement (DBIA# 5494) has been created to support this read. 2. HD0000000373348 - Site experienced trouble transmitting CLI extract. Problem: -------- A site transmitted 2009 data for the Clinic (CLI) extract after installing the FY 2010 update (ECX*3.0*120). Austin rejected the transmission because the data had an extra "^" appended to it. This "^" is necessary for the 2010 data. Solution: --------- The transmission has been modified not to append the "^" to the 2009 data. ************************************************************************** * NOTE BEFORE INSTALLATION OF ECX*3*124 * * BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PATCH THE DATA IN THE A&SP STAFF FILE * * (#509850.3) MUST BE ENSURED TO BE CORRECT.
