$TXT Created by KRN.FO-OAKLAND.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Friday, 06/07/13 at 10:37 ============================================================================= Run Date: MAY 27, 2014 Designation: XU*8*627 Package : XU - KERNEL Priority: Mandatory Version : 8 SEQ #508 Status: Released Compliance Date: JUN 27, 2014 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)XU*8*484 <<= must be installed BEFORE `XU*8*627' Subject: OPTION ASSUMES A* NAMESPACE IS LOCAL Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch fixes a problem found while adding a new option to the OPTION file (#19). Previously, only local namespaces were assigned to A*. Now, several VistA software packages use the A* namespace for valid nationally released VistA packages. When entering a new option that starts with the letter 'A', the system always identifies/displays the option as located in the local namespace. The patch corrects this by the following logic: if the new option name starts with an 'A', check first for a national package namespace starting with the letters entered and if found, identify/display that package name rather than 'local namespace'.

Patch Components ================ New Service Requests (NSRs) ---------------------------- N/A Patient Safety Issues (PSIs) ----------------------------- N/A Remedy Ticket(s) & Overview --------------------------- 1. INC000000064398 A* namespaces not computed properly Problem: ------- Previously, only local namespaces were assigned to A*. Now, several VistA software packages use the A* namespace for valid nationally released VistA packages. When entering a new option that starts with the letter 'A', Fileman always identifies/displays the option as located in the local namespace, even if the namespace of the option is associated with a VistA nationally released package. Resolution: ---------- This problem is corrected this by the following logic: if the new option name starts with an 'A', check first for a national package namespace starting with the letters entered and if found, identify/display that package name rather than 'local namespace'.
