============================================================================= Run Date: DEC 20, 2022 Designation: XU*8*776 Package : XU - KERNEL Priority: Mandatory Version : 8 SEQ #619 Status: Released Compliance Date: JAN 20, 2023 ============================================================================= Subject: EDIT [NPI OUT] HL LOGICAL LINK Category: - Informational Description: ============ The NPI software is leaving acknowledgement messages that are in OpenFail - because the link associated with them pointed to the old LVIE machines and the interface was never migrated to HC. The perpetual OPEN / OpenFail status for a link that will never be used clutters the HL SYSTEM MONITOR display with non-productive and useless information. By performing this patch, it will stop Application acknowledgements using the Logical Link NIP OUT. for the XUS NPI EXTRACTs. If possible, the patch should change two settings in the Logical Link NPI OUT: 1. Autostart should be set to DISABLED or NULL 2. Status should be set to SHUTDOWN. 30 days after the patch is installed, pending messages will be purged. At that time the counters for NPI OUT can be reset so the link will no longer display in the default setting of the HL SYSTEM MONITOR. The result will be a clean HL SYSTEM MONITOR by removing useless distracting entries, allowing ESL and site staff to more easily identify real anomalies when checking HL7 Logical Links. This patch is for informational purposes only and no KIDS build goes with the patch. Please perform the following steps for completion of installation for this patch: Step #1: -------- Use FileMan Inquire to File Entries [DIINQUIRE] to list the AUTOSTART and STATE fields of the [NPI OUT] Logical Link. From Programmer mode KRN>D P^DI VA FileMan 22.2 Select OPTION: INQUIRE TO FILE ENTRIES Output from what File: HL LOGICAL LINK// (262 entries) Select HL LOGICAL LINK NODE: NPI OUT Another one: Standard Captioned Output?
