RE: [Talk] Meditech not responding and Boston Workstation

Title: Message

Hi Chris, Are you Meditech Magic or Client Server? We are C/S and all our remote clients are set up as 3-tier clients with an application server assigned in the client dictionary of the UNV. This eliminates about 99.99% of these server not responding errors during a session. It also speeds up the response time. It isn't a scripting solution, but rather a system one.   I think the scripting solution might be to put a Timeout=n error before each of some of your key pauses. Send that error to a routine that would check the dialog box for a string of text then tell it to push a key it it finds it.   On Error GoTo NotResponding     .     . Timeout = 10 Pause for something     .     . End NotResponding:             Stable 2             If View(Row:=1, col:=1, length:=21) = "Server Not Responding" Then                 perform an action or key a button...             Else                 perform a different action             End If    Could also be an If At"" or PauseLoops if you like to handle it that way too.   Michelle 617-665-3432 617-546-7770 pgr.

It seems to have helped and i have not received this error since putting this in.   Hope this helps.   Vince Swisher Information Services Lahey Clinic [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781.744.3112 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of chris.white Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 12:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Talk] Meditech not responding and Boston Workstation First of all let me say I'm new to Boston Workstation.  This is a great forum, and I'm really hoping you guys might be able to help me out here.     We get an alert box that Meditech is not responding a good bit.  Because we satellite in to the server, it usually lasts only a few minutes at the most.  Basically all I have to do is enter OK on the alert box to retry.  But this can occur at any time, and I need to allow for it in all the scripts that I write.  Does anyone else have this sort of problem?   Can anyone suggest a solution?    Thanks so much Chris White Interface Analyst III Newberry County Memorial Hospital 803-405-1052 See our web page at http://www.lahey.org for a full directory of Lahey sites, staff, services and career opportunities.
