Subject: PCMM touchpoints for Scheduling Replacement

Category: 
  - Routine

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

  
 **INSTALLATION OF THIS PATCH IS TRANSPARENT TO USERS**
  
 PURPOSE OF THE PATCH:
 =====================
 This patch was requested as part of the Scheduling Replacement Project. Its 
 function is to convert direct global references of Scheduling Appointment
 files by PCMM functions to use the Scheduling Filter API (SDAPI). 
  
 SDAPI replaces all methods of accessing patient appointment information
 stored in the Patient Appointment sub-file (#2.98) and the Hospital 
 Location Appointment sub-file (#44.001). In addition, SDAPI encapsulates 
 appointment data retrieval, allowing the user to retrieve all appointment 
 information regardless of database implementation (VistA/GOTS Database).
   
 OVERVIEW:
 =========
 Upon implementation of the Resource Scheduling Application, appointment 
 data will be stored in multiple databases, (Vista/Oracle Databases). The 
 Scheduling Replacement Filter API will then be the only approved source 
 for handling transactions that require retrieving appointment data. 
 Therefore the routines included in this patch now need to be modified 
 to make a request to SDAPI for retrieving appointment data. All 
 remaining functionality of these APIs will remain the same.
   
 Installing the patch will not modify existing functions or data in any
 way.  It contains three routines.
  
 ROUTINE SUMMARY:

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
 ==========================
 This patch should be installed during non-peak hours. Users can be on 
 the system. Installation will take less than 5 minutes.
     
  NOTE: THE FOLLOWING PATCHES ARE REQUIRED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. KIDS will 
        not allow the installation of this patch without the prior 
        installation of the following patches:
                                               SD*5.3*157
                                               SD*5.3*347
                                               SD*5.3*433
   
   1.  Use the INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE option on the PackMan menu.
   
   2.  From the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu, select
       the Installation menu.
   
   3.  From this menu, you may elect to use the following options
       (when prompted for INSTALL NAME, enter SD*5.3*346):
         a.  Backup a Transport Global - this option will create a backup
             message of any routines exported with the patch.  It will NOT
             backup any other changes such as DDs or templates.
         b.  Compare Transport Global to Current System  - this option will
             allow you to view all changes that will be made when the patch
             is installed.  It compares all components of the patch
             (routines, DDs, templates, etc.).
         c.  Verify Checksums in Transport Global - this option will
             allow you to ensure the integrity of the routines that are in
             the transport global.
   
   4.  Use the Install Package(s) option and select the package SD*5.3*346.
   
   5.  When prompted 'Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONs during the install?
       YES??//',respond NO.
   
   6.  When prompted 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and
       Protocols? YES//', respond NO.
