Basic Steps

Installation of VistA consists of the following general steps:

Install Cache
Install the VistA Package for Cache
Reconfigure some files
Set up the VistA Domain
Set up the Master Records
Set up the Broker Service
Start the VistA Process
Install CPRS
Test CPRS

The rest of this installation how to will guide you through all of these steps.

Command Summary

The command summary here is used in M to perform various VistA tasks. It is placed in the beginning of the document so you can easily refer to it. You won't understand any of this until you begin installing VistA, so you can skip reading this and go on to the next section.

Installing VistA

Install Cache

This phase of the installation creates an area (a namespace) for you to work in and point that namespace to the distributed VistA database. The instructions below are for Cache 5.0 and below. The instructions for the installation and mapping of the VistA Routines and Globals for using Cache 5.2 may be downloaded from http://OpenSourceVistA.net:8888/NancysVistAServer . They are available in Open Document Format and in Word format and are titled InstallingVistAWithSingleUserVersionOfCache5.2

1.	Install Caché (The free single user version of Caché from <a href="http://www.intersystems.com">www.intersystems.com</a>). These are the instructions for the Windows version. Accept all of the defaults.
2.	Create the directory c:\CacheSys\Mgr\Vista and unzip CACHE.zip into it. The Cache.zip file we used was dated 4/5/2003 and was 137 Mb (141,243,089 bytes). The unzipped CACHE.DAT was also dated 4/5/2003 and was 430 Mb (451,379,200 bytes).
4.	Right Click on the Caché Cube and choose Documentation. Make sure it opens up and you can search it. If it doesn't, it is likely a firewall is blocking your access to CacheWeb. As of 5/03, McAfee firewall will need to be uninstalled entirely and other firewalls may need to be disabled. <a href="mailto:support@intersys.com">support@instersys.com</a> can help you if you need it. If all goes well opening the documentation, then continue.
5.	Right Click on the Caché Cube again and choose Configuration Manager.
6.	Choose Databases tab then click Add. A database is a physical disk location where M programs and data are located.



7.	Type "VISTA" in the Database window then click Next>.



8.	Pick location C:\Cachesys\Mgr\Vista then click Next.



9.	Answer Yes to the question do you wish to use CACHE.DAT and then click Finish.





10.	Choose the Namespaces tab then click Add. (Cache documentation defines a Namespace as "A logical entity or workspace that is associated with a directory, and that provides the link between a set of globals and their actual locations.")



11.	Type in "VISTA" in the Namespace window then click Next.



12.	From the list of Currently defined databases - Choose VISTA.
13.	Click Next then Finish.

Mapping Globals and Routines to Datasets

Globals are persistent M data structures where files and data are stored and routines are M programs. Mapping is a way to tell Caché where to look for globals and routines. By default, Caché maps routines and globals that start with the "%" character to a namespace separate from the routines and globals that do not start with the "%" character. With VistA, it is recommended that all VistA routines and globals that start with the character "%" be mapped to the same namespace as non-% routines and globals overriding the Caché default. The primary reason for this is to preserve these VistA globals and routines when Caché is upgraded to a new version.</td></tr>

Convert the Database from Use in Caché 4 to Caché 5

The distributed FOIA CACHE.DAT was generated with Caché v4. It needs to be converted to be compatible with Caché v5. You will not need to perform this step if you version is compatible with the version used by the VA.

Begin to set up the VistA System

The routine ZTMGRSET defines VistA global variables and saves system wide M routines that are Caché specific. FileMan is the database system used by all VistA Applications.

14.	With the Namespaces tab still selected expand Vista.



15.	Click on Global Mapping then click Add. (Globals are the "persistent" M variables used by VistA, in which the files used by FileMan are stored.)



16.	Type in "%Z" in the Enter Global window. (This indicates all variables beginning with %Z as is a "wild card" or "place holder" for any number of digits/characters, etc., that might follow Z.)
17.	Click OK.



18.	Click Routine Mapping then click Add. (Routines are programs written in M)



19.	Enter "%DT*" in the Enter Routine window then click OK.



20.	Repeat the same thing for Routine Mapping for: %RCR, %XU, %ZIS, %ZO, %ZT, %ZV*.



21.	When you are finished, click OK.
22.	Click Activate.



23.	Right click the Caché Cube and choose Explorer.
24.	On the left panel, expand the VISTA Folder.
25.	Click on Globals and be sure lots of globals are listed (about 300) in alphabetical order. ABS was the first global and YTX was the last.



26.	Click Routines and be sure the same thing happens. (Our experience has been Explorer times out and is automatically closed.) Wait until the disk is done moving (about 2 minutes) and then re-open explorer and it should work fine. There should be 20484 routines found.
27.	After all the routines are loaded, close Explorer.



28.	Right click on the Caché Cube and choose Terminal.
29.	At User Prompt Type D ^%CD (or ZN "%SYS").
30.	At Namespace type "%SYS". The remainder of this step converts the database that is run on Caché 4 by the VA to the latest version of Caché, which is 5 at the time of this writing. Once the VA source of the Platinum install switches over to Caché 5, it will not be necessary, but it should not hurt anything to run it. Enter "DO ALL^%SYSCONV". You must allow this to finish. You should have the following output:



31.	Next you check the success of the conversion. Type "DO STATUS^%SYSCONV" to see the status of the conversion. You should see something like that shown below. If you see RECOMPILE In Progress anywhere, wait and let it complete. You can check if it is completed by running "D STATUS^%SYSCONV" again until the recompile is done. Use the up arrow on your keyboard to go back one step to make it easy to rerun D STATUS^%SYSCONV. (Note in M, D is short for DO.) If there is an "Error: <FUNCTION>" under C:\Cachesys\mgr\samples\, this is a problem with Caché's samples, not with VistA, so do not be concerned about it for the purpose of installing VistA.



32.	At User Prompt Type "D ^%CD".
33.	At Namespace Type "VISTA" (or use ZN "VISTA").

Now if you made changes, click File, Save and then Build, Compile. At the bottom of the window you should soon see the message "Compilation finished successfully."

 <td class="small">If you run an RPCBroker Application], server opens a new session with

   Server is hanging in READ command in XWBTCPC and waiting for a new message

   from the client. And client is still waiting for the return message for

   XUS SIGNON SETUP remote procedure.

   

   The reason was that server doesn't always flush the buffer without an '!'

34.	Type in "D ^ZTMGRSET". It will respond with a few lines ending with either I think it is VISTA,CACHEWEB. Should I continue anyway? N// or I think it is VISTA,VISTA. Should I continue anyway? N// and you should type "Y". It will respond I think you are using OpenM-NT. Which MUMPS system should I install? Choose 3.



35.	Several lines later you will be presented with: (Note: VistA presents a default response followed by "//" as in VISTA// below. Pressing Enter accepts the default.)

	NAME OF MANAGER'S NAMESPACE: VISTA// Hit enter. PRODUCTION (SIGN-ON) NAMESPACE: VISTA// Hit enter. NAME OF THIS Configuration: VISTA// Hit enter.

	You will have several lines of routines loading finishing with:

	Installing ^%Z editor Setting ^%ZIS('C') Now, I will check your % globals.... ALL DONE.
36.	Initialize FileMan to set your site name and number by running "D ^DINIT" from the VISTA> Prompt. Say yes to Intilialize VA Fileman if it isn't already initialized. Give your site a site name and a 4 digit site number that is preferably not a round number like 1000 or 5000 so you have less chance of file number collisions when you make your own files in the future. You can run D ^DINIT again to see if you changes were successful and choose Cache/OpenM when offered a choice of MUMPS system you are using.
37.	If you have the latest version of Caché with CacheWeb, you will need to edit the routine ^%ZOSV. To do this, right click the Caché Cube and choose Studio, File, Change Namespace, select VISTA then click OK.


38.	This step may not be needed in newer versions of VistA, but check anyway. The VA does not allow then number of available remaining Cache licenses to go below 5 so that whatever situation led to exceeding the number allowed can be corrected. However, for small users, they may only have 5 licenses total, so it is necessary to block that prohibition. </BR> Go to the Cache blue cube on the Windows task bar, choose Studio and then choose the proper namespace either by choosing it in a window that pops up or by choosing File, Change Namespace. Then choose Open and search for %ZOSV* and the type if file is .int . Chose %ZOSV. </BR> </BR> Line numbers are included below to help you find what to edit. Put a semicolon ; in front of the lines 23 and 24 and add Q 99; to the front of line 26 and save it, which will compile it for you automatically. The semicolon turns the lines of code into comments instead of active code. You may want to add another line with your own comment saying that you edited the file and put your name or initials so you can find it again later should you need to search the files for changes you have made.</BR>

** TROUBLE ** - ** CALL IRM NOW! **

This message may appear when you first log into D ^ZU. Edit the routine ZU now instead of later in step 91 as follows:

Open up routine ZU.INT in Studio and locate the following line which is on or about the 8th line:
JOBCHK I $$AVJ^%ZOSV()<3 W $C(7),!!,"** TROUBLE ** - ** CALL IRM NOW! **" G HALT
And place a semi-colon (;) before the I, it should now look like this:
JOBCHK ;I $$AVJ^%ZOSV()<3 W $C(7),!!,"** TROUBLE ** - ** CALL IRM NOW! **" G HALT

Save, Compile, and Close the rountine.

84.	Now you will be presented with a screen with multiple options. You can navigate the screen with the TAB key. For navigation help, use your keyboard arrows to move down to the command line and hold down either the Num Lock key (which is mapped as PF1 of a VT-320 terminal by Caché) or F1 for other terminal emulations and hit "H" and then Enter for help. You can exit by typing "^" on the command line and the change you made will be saved. As a minimum, assign EVE as the PRIMARY MENU and enter IRM (it's the only choice) as SERVICE/SECTION. If you plan to use CPRS, enter OR CPRS GUI CHART as a SECONDARY MENU OPTION. Enter other data as you deem appropriate.



85.	Type "N"EXT PAGE at COMMAND: to go to page 2 to update the TIMED READ field and other fields you wish to update. For DEFAULT TIMED-READ (SECONDS): if you change it to 3600 you will be allow an hour before being automatically signed off. It makes it easier to work when you are learning and setting things up.

	Press <PF1> refers to notations for use of Vista on Terminals. For example, the original VT-320 keyboard had additional character sets and keys which include Find, Select, Insert, Remove, Previous Screen, Next Screen, an arrow cluster and F1 to F20. With Caché, the Keys are "mapped", which means when you push a given key it acts as the key would in a terminal. For instance, F1, F2, F3 and F4 are equivalent to the PF1, PF2, PF3 and PF4 keys on the terminal keyboard and Page Up and Page Down on the computer keyboard correspond to Previous Screen and Next Screen. A listing of other mappings can be found at the Caché Cube Terminal window under Help and search Keyboard Mappings. Also there is lots of information about terminal if you are interested at <a href="http://www.VT100.net">www.VT100.net</a>.

Set Up Menus for the System Manager

EVE is the System Manager menu and XUCOMMAND is a common menu available to all users.

Update the Devices, Start Taskman and Mail a Message

These are basic devices to complete the setup. You can setup other devices, such as printers, later.

97.

Now to update devices. The Platinum CACHE.DAT already comes with preconfigured devices. It is best to leave the VOLUME SET(CPU) field blank. The help text for the field states: "If no name has been entered for this field, this device is assumed to be accessible from all CPUs in the network. In other words, when this device is referenced, the device handler will operate as if this device is resident on the local CPU". The SIGN-ON/SYSTEM DEVICE: field should be set to NO or left blank for output devices and YES if the device is used to log on to the system. Use FileMan to edit the CONSOLE, NULL, HFS, and TELNET devices. CONSOLE is the primary logon device. The NULL device is used by the Vista RPC Broker and HFS is used by the Kernel Installation and Distribution System (KIDS) to install Application patches and new Applications when they are released. On the single user Caché PC you will not need the TELNET device since it does not allow remote access. At the VISTA> Prompt, type "D Q^DI" to invoke VA Fileman. At Select OPTION: type "1" (ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES) and at INPUT TO WHAT FILE:, enter "3.5".

98.

Again from the VISTA promt, enter "D ^ZTMCHK" to check if TaskMan's environment is OK. This will present you with two screens with information on TaskMan's environment.

Screen #1

Screen #2 99.

If TaskMan's environment is OK, you are ready to start TaskMan. Go back to the VISTA Prompt and type "D ^ZTMB" to start TASKMAN.

100.

To monitor TaskMan, enter "D ^ZTMON" from the VISTA Prompt. Enter "^" at the UPDATE// Prompt to exit the monitor or enter a "?" to see what the other options are.

101.

From the VISTA> programmer Prompt you can check the system status with "D ^%SS". You should see at least two Taskman processes - %ZTM and %ZTMS.

102.

Now send a message using Postmaster to your DUZ number. Use D ^%CD to get into the namespace, VISTA, and then type "S DUZ=.5 D ^XUP". You will get the response SETTING UP PROGRAMMER ENVIROMENT then TERMINAL TYPE SET TO: (your default) and Select OPTION NAME:. You will need to respond: "XMUSER". At Select Mailman Menu Option: type "S" (for send). At Subject: enter your subject, such as Test, and then hit enter. You will then be prompted You may enter the text of the message and you will be offered the line number 1> where you can type your message, such as the infamous Hello world. Next will be line 2> and if you are done, just hit enter and at EDIT Option: you can do the same. At Send mail to: POSTMASTER// enter the initials you used for your DUZ which were probably SM for System Manager. You will then be told when MailMan was last used, which is probably NEVER. Hit enter at And Send to: and you should receive the message Select Message option: Transmit now// at which you hit enter and will hopefully receive the message Sending [1] Sent. Type "^" to exit.

103.

Now see if you received it. Log on using "D ^ZU". At the Systems Manager Prompt, type "MAIL". Then at the Select MailMan Menu Option: type "NEW" Messages and Responses. Read the mail.

Test CPRS

Start and test the RPC Broker.

The RPC Broker is VistA's Client/Server software and is needed by VistA's GUI client.

104.	Now to see of the RPC BROKER will start. To start the broker, type "D STRT^XWBTCP(port)" at the VISTA Prompt. The system status should now show the broker listener (XWBTCPL) running.

	VISTA>D STRT^XWBTCP(9210) Start TCP Listener... Checking if TCP Listener has started... TCP Listener started successfully. VISTA>
	Now run "D ^%SS" again. You should see something like the following with XWBPTCL running.



105.	If you have the RPCTEST.EXT on your workstation, you test your connection to the localhost. Download the file XWB1_1WS.EXE from <a href="ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/RPC Broker - XWB/PROGRAMS/">ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/RPC Broker - XWB/PROGRAMS/</a>. (Note: The VA's ftp site is not compatible with Netscape's ftp. Either use Windows Explorer or FTP software). Double click on this file once you have downloaded it. Accept the defaults. It will install RPC Broker's Client software including RPCTEST.EXE. Then go to C:\program files\vista\broker\rcptest.exe and double click on it or create a shortcut on your desktop.



106.	You should see a Vista logon screen.



108.	If you connect successfully, the link state will turn green.



109.	To stop TaskMan, use "D STOP^ZTMKU" and answer "YES" to stopping the submanagers.
110.	To stop Broker, use "D STOP^XWBTCP(9210)".

Installing VistA

Install Cache

Mapping Globals and Routines to Datasets

Convert the Database from Use in Caché 4 to Caché 5

The distributed FOIA CACHE.DAT was generated with Caché v4. It needs to be converted to be compatible with Caché v5. You will not need to perform this step if you version is compatible with the version used by the VA.

Begin to set up the VistA System

The routine ZTMGRSET defines VistA global variables and saves system wide M routines that are Caché specific. FileMan is the database system used by all VistA Applications.

Set Yourself Up as the System Manager

This is a super user who will have elevated privileges. You can add other users such as Physicians, Pharmacists, etc. later.

Set Up More Parameters

These are parameters that are more applicable to the VistA Application software.

Set Up Menus for the System Manager

EVE is the System Manager menu and XUCOMMAND is a common menu available to all users.

Update the Devices, Start Taskman and Mail a Message

These are basic devices to complete the setup. You can setup other devices, such as printers, later.

Test CPRS

Start and test the RPC Broker.

The RPC Broker is VistA's Client/Server software and is needed by VistA's GUI client.
