Re: [openhealth] FOIA VistA SemiVivA 20060113 available

2006-01-27 Thread Bhaskar, KS
As I understand it, VistA Office EHR will effectively be the same as
FOIA VistA.  They started with a snapshot of FOIA VistA, are adapting it
to primary care practices, and will merge their development back so that
anyone who starts out with FOIA VistA now will be able to benefit from
VOE when it is released.

However, someone who knows more than I do should probably comment.  A
little knowledge is rumored to be a dangerous thing.

 How does this compare with VistA-Office?

 Thanks! A bit complicated but understandable. But Wine is needed to get the

 WHile your liveCD based on DSL is commendable, it is one of the most diffcult

  FOIAVistA SemiVivA 20060113 is now available and can be downloaded from
 Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista).  A SemiVivA
 package is an installation of VistA that is bundled with GT.M and ready
 for use if you alreay have a PC running Linux.
 
 Assuming that the distribution file is downloaded on your PC
 as /Distrib/VistA/FOIAVistASemiVivA20060113.tgz, you can install it with
 the following commands which must be executed as root:
 
   cd /usr/local
   tar zxvf /Distrib/VistA/FOIAVistASemiVivA20060113.tgz
 
 This OpenVistA SemiVivA is slightly different from (i.e., hopefully
 better than) its predecessors.
 
 When OpenVistA SemiVivA 20060113 is installed on your PC in a
 development environment, the intent is that the files distributed with
 this release will not normally be modified (unless, for example, you
 move to a new GT.M release and need to recompile and generate new object
 files) - please read http://tinyurl.com/738jk for a discussion of the
 model.
 
 This OpenVistA SemiVivA comes pre-configured as a Release.  You can
 still use the vista script to demo VistA, but I expect that you are
 more likely to use the install script to set up integration and
 development environments and the run script thence to run an installed
 environment.
 
 This OpenVistA also comes able to handle a direct connection from a CPRS
 GUI, as well as the latest CPRS GUI itself the program CPRSChart.exe
 in /usr/local/FOIAVistA20060113/CPRS_Gui).  To enable an installed
 environment to handle a CPRS GUI connection request, you will need to do
 the following:
 
 1. Choose a port, e.g., 9297.
 
 2. Identify the environment to handle the connection, and the userid for
 the server process (e.g., /home/kbhaskar/myVistA and kbhaskar).
 
 3. Add 2 lines to /etc/services, thus:
 
 cprs-gui  9297/tcp
 cprs-gui  9297/udp
 
 The second line is not required, but it is traditional to reserve TCP
 and UDP ports together.
 
 4. Determine whether you are running inetd or xinetd as the Internet
 superserver.  If you are running inetd, you will need a line such as
 the following in your inetd.conf:
 
 cprs-gui stream tcp nowait kbhaskar /home/kbhaskar/myVistA/cprs_direct
 
 If you are running xinetd, you will need something like:
 
 service cprs-gui
 {
   disable= no
   socket_type  = stream
   wait= no
   user= kbhaskar
  server= /home/kbhaskar/myVistA/cprs_direct
 }
 
 (I don't use xinetd, so the above is my guess as to what the entry
 should be.)
 
 5. Restart inetd/xinetd (on Debian GNU/Linux systems, this is a line
 like /etc/init.d/inetd restart).
 
 6. You may need to configure your firewall to allow connections on port
 9297.
 
 A CPRS GUI client should now be able to connect.  If you have wine
 installed on your Linux machine, you can try running the CPRS GUI on
 Linux with (one line, look out for line breaks):
 
 wine /usr/local/FOIAVistA20060113/CPRS_Gui/CPRSChart.exe s=localhost
 p=9297 SPLASH=OFF CCOW=DISABLE
 
 Good luck.
 
 I promised to document the process of creating a SemiVivA package from a
 FOIA release, and I have copious notes that I need to convert into
 something readable.  I will do that after I create FOIAVistA VivA
 20060113.
