version change trick

NB: There is a trick to making version 1.0.26.68. It is done for you in CPRSDir.zip which can be found along with the instructions for creating it at:

http://downloads.opensourcevista.net/VADemo9-26-06


To find out which version to use, look next to the option named "OR CPRS GUI CHART" like this example where CPRS~|CPRS version 1.0.23.15 was needed:

D Q^DI

VA FileMan 22.0
Select OPTION: 5  INQUIRE TO FILE ENTRIES

OUTPUT FROM WHAT FILE: DEVICE// OPTION
1   OPTION                           (10126 entries)
2   OPTION SCHEDULING                (116 entries)
CHOOSE 1-2: 1  OPTION                     (10126 entries)
Select OPTION NAME: OR CPRS GUI CHART       CPRSChart version 1.0.23.15
ANOTHER ONE: 

To use a particular version of CPRS, the server-side software code must match. The files are found at ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/ and the source code is in the "Programs" subdirectory of this directory

Thus:

ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/

The Delphi source code for each of these (e.g. OR_30_235_SRC.ZIP) will be found in the subdirectory ...Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/Programs/

The wget(1) utility is capable of fetching the files from this server

AceFTP is a freeware FTP program that works, if needed http://software.visicommedia.com/en/productsfreeware/

(In the past this FTP site could not be reached with Mozilla/Firefox. That has been corrected.)


1.0.26.69 (and TMG-CPRS) spoof --> 1.0.26.76

Since the changes between 1.0.26.69 and 1.0.26.76 are relatively minor, in this case, version can be used by changing the option in the option file like this:

 D P^DI
 VA FileMan 22.0
 Select OPTION: 1  ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES
 INPUT TO WHAT FILE: OPTION//
 EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//
 Select OPTION NAME: OR CPRS GUI CHART       CPRSChart version 1.0.26.76
 NAME: OR CPRS GUI CHART//
 MENU TEXT: CPRSChart version 1.0.26.76  Replace 76 With 69
   Replace
    CPRSChart version 1.0.26.69

When using TMG-CPRS, another way of reaching the exact same result is to add "SPOOF-VER=1.0.26.76" to the end of the Windows shortcut to CPRS like so:

... S=192.168.xxx.xxx P=92xx CCOW=DISABLE SPOOF-VER=1.0.26.76

(This method has the (admittedly dubious) advantage of allowing both a CPRS v1.0.26.68 and a v1.0.26.76 to connect without changing the server side.

Caution: One needs to know that the two versions truly are compatible or be willing to risk nasty side-effects, perhaps even damage to the server's database.


SSH Tunnel

Communications between CPRS and the VistA server are not encrypted by default. Access/Verify Codes and all patient data are transmitted in the clear. However, these can be protected by setting up an encrypted "tunnel" between client and server.
