$TXT Created by VILLELLA,ROSS at MNTVBB.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Thursday, 06/15/06 at 12:05 ============================================================================= Run Date: JUL 06, 2006 Designation: SD*5.3*367 Package : SD - SCHEDULING Priority: Mandatory Version : 5.3 SEQ #388 Status: Released Compliance Date: AUG 06, 2006 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)SD*5.3*272 <<= must be installed BEFORE `SD*5.3*367' Subject: STOP MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF PCMM HL7 TRANS Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch addresses a problem associated with the PCMM HL7 Transmission process. Running the PCMM HL7 Transmission [SCMC PCMM HL7 TRANSMIT] option when there is a current transmission running already has led to system degradation and, in some instances, crashes have been reported. ASSOCIATED E3R(S): ================== N/A ASSOCIATED REMEDY/NOIS CALLS: ============================ 1. HD63734 - PCMM RESEEDING UPDATE REQUEST. PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= Connecticut HCS Manchester, NY Cheyenne, WY REMEDY/NOIS OVERVIEW: ==================== 1. HD63734 - PCMM RESEEDING UPDATE REQUEST. Problem: -------- This problem is occurring when multiple transmissions of the PCMM HL7 data are being transmitted to ACC. If the first instance of the transmission has not completed and a second instance is tasked the site reports that the system is compromised, and in some cases crashes have been reported. Resolution: ----------- This patch has been created to prevent multiple PCMM HL7 tasks from running if the previously queued task has not completed. TECHNICAL: ========== Problem: ======== There were no existing limitations on how many PCMM HL7 transmissions could be running at the same time. Resolution: =========== The routine SCMCHL will be modified to not allow the transmission to begin if there is an existing transmission in progress. The user will be given a message that the "HL7 Transmission is in progress, please try again later."
