 Patch Tracking #: 40785214
 Test Sites: Connecticut HCS, Martinsburg WV, Portland VAMC
 Blood Bank Clearance: NOIS: 6/14/2006
  
 NOIS: POR-0504-52072(HD63999) , POR-0604-51618 (HD63957)
 Problem: Long running jobs like Imaging servers sometimes get their "Temp"
 globals cleaned up by the XQ82 routine. Scheduled option [XQ XUTL $J NODES]
  "Clean old Job Nodes in XUTL"
 The fix is to have a way for application to indicate that they are still 
 active. The way that has been chosen is for applications to call an API 
 that will set specific a node in ^XUTL("XQ",$J to mark that they are still 
 alive.  The node chosen is ^XUTL("XQ",$J,"KEEPALIVE") and it is set to $H.  
 The setting of this node only needs to be done by jobs that will run more 
 than a day.  This can be set by calling the API TOUCH^XUSCLEAN.
 A call to this API has been added to the MXMLPRSE routine (patch XT*7.3*89)
 that is used by M2M broker.
  
 The routine XQ82 has been changed so that it doesn't need any other 
 variables in the environment, this will allow it to run from a host file 
 script.
  
 New supported API.
 TOUCH^XUSCLEAN is a procedure this will set a flag to let the cleanup
 routines know that the process is still active.
