============================================================================= Run Date: JUN 14, 2002 Designation: ROR*1*1 Package : ROR - CLINICAL CASE REGISTRIES Priority: Mandatory Version : 1 SEQ #1 Status: Released ============================================================================= Subject: Edit Logical Link. Category: - Informational Description: ============ 1) Some sites have been timing out during message transmission, the time out period was increased at the problem sites causing a resolution to the issue. It has also been decided that the Exceed Re-Transmit Action field within the logical link be set to restart. Please follow the below instructions to edit these fields after you have installed the build. Stop the ROR SEND logical link if your site has started it. Within the [HL7 MAIN MENU] option, select the Filer and LINK MANAGEMENT OPTIONS [HL MENU FILER LINK MGT] option, within this option select the LINK EDIT [HL EDIT LOGICAL LINKS] option. You will be presented the following prompt: Select HL LOGICAL LINK NODE: Enter ROR SEND at the above prompt, a Screenman screen will be displayed that will show the parameters for the ROR SEND logical link. Move to the LLP TYPE field and press Enter. A new sub-form will be displayed, and this screen shows the TCP lower level parameters for the ROR SEND logical link. Move to the ACK TIMEOUT field edit this field to 600. Move to the EXCEED RE-TRANSMIT ACTION field, edit this field to 'restart'. Close this sub-form using the close command, you will be returned to the main form. Save these new values using the SAVE command and close the main form using the EXIT command. Then start the logical link as described in the Clinical Case Registries Hepatitis C Installation/Implementation Guide (ROR_0IG.PDF). 2) Sites have been asked to send information to the Implementation Manager which will be used for security purposes within the transmission of historical data to the AAC (see page 44 of the Clinical Case Registries Installation/Implementation guide). This information included the IP address of the sending facility. This IP address must be a static IP address, not the dynamic one that can be allocated to workstations. The most reliable way to send these files is within the site's operating system. Please note that the FTP address for the Austin Automation Center has changed from what is detailed in the Clinical Case Registries Installation/Implementation guide. On page 44 the guide lists vaaachep().aac.va.gov as the address, please disregard this address and use hepdb2.aac.va.gov. At a DSM/VMS site log onto a node at the system level. This will present to the user the '$' prompt. At the $ prompt perform the following steps using your data files and e-mail address. **NOTE:In this example I am transferring a file called S123T01.hdt, you will have different file names that your historical data extraction tasks created. Also at the password prompt I entered my e-mail address, at this prompt you must enter your own e-mail address.

A1$ On a Cache system, the user will have to access the console of the system either directly, or by using Remotely Possible, to assure a static IP address when the file is FTP'd to Austin. We have also found that some sites have converted from 152 numbers to 10 numbers (for example 152.132.10.1 can change to 10.130.10.1) since they submitted their IP address. When attempting to connect to the AAC, sites will be immediately disconnected if the sending sites IP address doesn't match the IP address submitted to the Implementation Manager. Please check with the system administrator to see if your site is going to be converted to an IP address that starts with a 10. Also double check the IP address within your system and check this against what was submitted to the Implementation Manager. If there are any discrepancies please e-mail the changes and updates to the Implementation Manager at Claire.Hill@med.va.gov. Please also remember to transfer the Historic Extract files to the AAC in binary mode. 3) When installing this package into test accounts do NOT set up the [ROR TASK] option in Taskman (step 7 of the Clinical Case Registries Hepatitis C Installation/Implementation Guide) and do not start the logical link [ROR SEND] within the VistA HL7 system (step 6 of the Clinical Case Registries Hepatitis C Installation/Implementation Guide). Setting these options up will cause the system to send test data to the AAC. 4) The person that set up the Historic Extract receives an empty VA Alert after a complete and successful run of the Historic Extract. This is not due to a crash or any error's so please just ignore. 5) The daily task on Taskman [ROR TASK] can be run during any off peak time. Setting the transmission time to a less obvious time (i.e. 20 after the hour or 20 to the hour as opposed to half past the hour or on the hour) will spread the overnight load at the AAC. The AAC does a back up between 10pm and 2am central time. They can handle messages being sent during this time, these messages get put in a holding queue and processed when the system is back up and running. However, avoiding these times will speed up the processing of these messages in the holding queue.
