ASSOCIATED REMEDY TICKETS: ========================= 1. INC000001065808 VDEF - Other: 2. INC000001094661 REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= Birmingham Dayton REMEDY OVERVIEW: ================ 1. INC000001065808 VDEF - Other: Problem: -------- When patch VDEF*1.0*11 was released, it inadvertently restricted the REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD field (#.02) and the CHECK-OUT TIME LIMIT field (#.05) of the VDEF REQUEST QUEUE file (#579.3) and the VDEF MONITOR DELAY field (#.02) of the VDEF PARAMETERS file (#579.5) date fields to times of greater than 30 days by editing input transform utility $$TIMEI^VDEFUTIL when only the ARCHIVAL PARAMETER (#.04) of the VDEF REQUEST QUEUE file (#579.3) was intended. Resolution: ----------- This patch will restore the utility back to its pre-VDEF*1.0*11 form which will remove the restrictions from the REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD field (#.02) and the CHECK-OUT TIME LIMIT field (#.05) of the VDEF REQUEST QUEUE file (#579.3) and the VDEF MONITOR DELAY field (#.02) of the VDEF PARAMETERS file (#579.5) and modify the input transform directly for the ARCHIVAL PARAMETER field (#.04) in the VDEF REQUEST QUEUE file (#579.3) directly to restrict to values greater than 30 days. Routine: VDEFUTIL DATA DICTIONARY: ================ Before: 579.3,.04 ARCHIVAL PARAMETER 0;4 NUMBER (Required) INPUT TRANSFORM: S X=$$TIMEI^VDEFUTIL(X) I 'X K X OUTPUT TRANSFORM: S Y=$$TIMEE^VDEFUTIL(Y) LAST EDITED: FEB 24, 2012 HELP-PROMPT: Enter time in xxD yyH zzM wwS format. The minimum allowable time is 30D. DESCRIPTION: The minimum number of seconds an already processed entry in a Request Queue will be kept in the Queue for archival purposes before it is purged by the VDEF Monitor process. After: 579.3,.04 ARCHIVAL PARAMETER 0;4 NUMBER (Required) INPUT TRANSFORM: S X=$$TIMEI^VDEFUTIL(X) I 'X!(X<2592000) K X OUTPUT TRANSFORM: S Y=$$TIMEE^VDEFUTIL(Y) LAST EDITED: FEB 24, 2012 HELP-PROMPT: Enter time in xxD yyH zzM wwS format. The minimum allowable time is 30D. DESCRIPTION: The minimum number of seconds an already processed entry in a Request Queue will be kept in the Queue for archival purposes before it is purged by the VDEF Monitor process. 2. INC000001094661 REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD Problem: -------- The "HELP-PROMPT" and "DESCRIPTION" for the REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD (#.02) in the VDEF REQUEST QUEUE file (#579.3) contradict the INPUT TRANSFORM and documentation of the field. Resolution: ----------- Update the "HELP-PROMPT" and "DESCRIPTION" to reflect what is documented in the manuals and how the field is defined. DATA DICTIONARY: ================ Before: 579.3,.02 REQUEST QUEUE WAKEUP PERIOD 0;2 FREE TEXT (Required) INPUT TRANSFORM: S X=$$TIMEI^VDEFUTIL(X) I 'X K X OUTPUT TRANSFORM: S Y(0)=Y S Y=$$TIMEE^VDEFUTIL(Y) LAST EDITED: SEP 26, 2003 HELP-PROMPT: Type a number between 1 and 999999999, 0 Decimal Digits DESCRIPTION: Number of seconds in which this queue's Request Processor will resubmit itself for execution.

DESCRIPTION: A period of time (in days, hours, minutes, and seconds) that TaskMan uses to calculate how long to wait before it resumes processing the Request queue.
