$TXT Created by MOORE,JIM at NXT.KERNEL.FO-OAKLAND.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Thursday, 05/03/07 at 11:55 ============================================================================= Run Date: MAY 09, 2007 Designation: HL*1.6*136 Package : HL - HEALTH LEVEL SEVEN Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 1.6 SEQ #108 Status: Released Compliance Date: MAY 11, 2007 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)HL*1.6*134 <<= must be installed BEFORE `HL*1.6*136' Subject: HLO PURGE SETTINGS Category: - Routine - Enhancement () Description: ============ This patch fixes a problem of unusually high CPU utilization that some sites experienced after installing patch HL*1.6*134. Patch HL*1.6*136 should be installed immediately after installing HL*1.6*134. This patch changes the HLO purge process to stop multiple instances of the purge process from running continuously. Instead, only one purge process will be started every 20 minutes, and it will terminate once there are no more HLO records to purge. Also, on production systems the HLO DAILY STARTUP option is scheduled by the post-install routine to run daily. If this option is not scheduled to run daily after installing this patch, then please do so manually. It can run at any time.

Users are allowed to be on the system during the installation. 2. Use the STOP HLO action of the HLO System Monitor option to temporarily stop the transmission of HLO messages. Wait several minutes to insure that all HLO processes have terminated. NOTE: There is a pre-install routine that will abort the installation if any HLO process is still running. If the installation is aborted, verify that HLO is stopped, and restart the installation. 3. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This option will load the KIDS package onto your system. 4. This patch is now loaded into a transport global on your system. The next step is to use KIDS to install the Transport global. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following options: Verify Checksums in Transport Global Print Transport Global Compare Transport Global to Current System Backup a Transport Global Install Package(s) When using the Install Package(s) menu option to install the patch build, you will be asked several questions. The questions, and the answers you should supply, are shown below. INSTALL NAME: Want KIDS to Rebuild Menu Trees Upon Completion of Install? YES// NO Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONS during the install? Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and Protocols? A pre-install routine will verify that all HLO processes have been stopped before the installation will complete. A post-install routine will automatically change the settings to the PURGE OLD MESSAGES entry in the HLO Process Registry file. It changes the minimum number of those processes running at one time to 0 and the maximum number to 1. On production systems, the post-install routine will also schedule the HLO DAILY STARTUP option to run daily. 5. Use the START HLO action of the HLO System Monitor option to resume transmission of HLO messages in your production account. This step is optional in test systems.
