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 OR CPRS GUI Chart like this where 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.
