EMR-Link and Upgrading Your EMR

Transcription

1 In preparation of an EMR upgrade, Ignis Systems recommends that you perform the following steps in order to preserve the EMR-Link Order and Result interface. Please contact us with questions or concerns regarding the EMR upgrade. 1. Locate and save the emrlink folder on your DTS Server to a location that will not be affected by the upgrade. 2. Locate and save the emrlink folder on your Terminal Server(s) to a location that won t be affected by the upgrade. You can find the emrlink folder in a path similar to C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solutions\Client\emrlink (note: depending on your EMR version the Client folder may not be necessary). 3. Perform the EMR upgrade. 4. Once you have upgraded, you will need to copy the emrlink folder onto the new DTS server and Terminal Server(s) in the path where the core Centricity application is held (commonly: C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solutions\Client\emrlink). 5. On the DTS Server, locate the emrlink-results.bat file. This file is located within the EMR-Link folder:

2 a. Right-click on the emrlink-results.bat file. Choose Edit and open with Notepad. b. Modify the emr_inbox path to reflect the NEW path to your data\in folder (this is where Centricity looks to import new results; it may be a UNC path beginning with \\ to your new Database Server). c. Modify the EMR-Link logfile path to reflect the updated path to the emrlink folder (this may be a UNC path beginning with \\) d. Go to file, Save to save the changes that were made. e. Double click on the emrlink-results.bat file to ensure there are no errors a black cmd window will briefly appear, and the batch file has ran: f. Check to make sure an emrlink logfile has been created in the emrlink folder.

3 6. If you have a new DTS Server, you will need to add a new Scheduled Task using Windows Task Scheduler (Note: the screen shots below are for Server Please request alternate screenshots if these do not apply to your Server). a. Make sure that the Scheduled Task on the old DTS Server is inactive. b. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler c. Double-click Task Scheduler d. Click Create Task

4 7. General tab a. Assign a Name for your task, such as EMR-Link Results b. Select Run whether user is logged on or not c. Click OK 8. Triggers tab a. Click New

5 b. Set the parameters for this Scheduled Task: Most common parameters = daily, beginning at 8:00am, repeating every 10 minutes, for a duration of 1 day/indefinite. Note: some sites may choose to only download results 2x per day, or only during working hours, etc. Please set your parameters to fit your preference for frequency of result download.

6 9. Actions tab a. Click New b. Click Browse to find the emrlink-results.bat file (this is in the emrlink folder) Note: the emrlink-results.bat file commonly resides in a path similar to: C:Program Files\Centricity Application\Client\emrlink. However, this is not true for all sites.

7 c. In the Start in (optional) field, enter the SAME path that is in the Program/script field, ending with the Folder name. If there are quotation marks in the path ( ), remove them. Note: even though this field says optional, it is required. d. Click OK

8 10. Click OK to create your task a. You may be prompted to enter an administrative password to finalize the task. b. Your new Scheduled Task should display in your Task Library: Be sure to REMOVE or DISABLE the Scheduled Task on the old server/dts. NOTE: different Operating Systems appear/display differently, ie: Windows Vista/XP/7 please consult with an IT expert or contact Ignis Support with questions and/or concerns.
