Subject: PREVENT CON-CURRENT RUNNING PSO MONTHLY COST COMPILERS

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 This patch will prevent the [PSO COSTMONTH]  Monthly Rx Cost Compilation 
 job from being started and having more than one copy running 
 con-currently.  The following options were modified to check if the 
 Monthly RX Cost Compilation is already running and will not allow the 
 request to proceed. 
  
 [PSO COSTDAY]             Daily Rx Cost
 [PSO COSTDAY NIGHTJOB]    Nightly Rx Cost Compile
 [PSO COSTMONTH]           Monthly Rx Cost Compilation
  
  
 1. HD097252 - Nightly Rx Cost Compile problems.
 ===============================================
  
 Problem:
 --------
 It was reported that occasionally on the first of the month, that the 
 journal files are filling up and the job running at the time is the [PSO 
 COSTDAY NIGHTJOB].  The records in the DRUG COST file #50.9 being 
 accessed at the time were for the Monthly RX Cost Compiler.  The VAMC 
 sites reporting the problem have the Nightly Rx Cost Compile job 
 scheduled to run every night sometime after midnight.  When this job 
 starts on the first of the month, it will run the Monthly Rx Cost 
 Compilation automatically.  If any other Daily or Nightly compilers are 
 asked to run on that day then they would start another copy of the 
 Monthly compiler job.  If the Monthly Compiler was specifically asked to 
 run in addition, then even a third Monthly Compiler would be running and 
 adding to the journal files multiple times.
  
  
 Resolution:
 -----------
 Prevent multiple copies of the Monthly Compiler job from being requested 
 and therefore multiple hits on the Journal files.
