Installing Cache and Vista for the First time...Need Assistance

[ble...@gmail.com]

I've been following step by step instructions from the Hardhats
website and I still haven't been able to get anything working.

I am trying to install VistA and the Fee module, don't need CPRS or
anything else. I keep getting stuck at parts and am wondering if I am
installinf correctly. I am not a mumps programmer, just someone
tasked to get a test version installed.

I think my problem at this point is that my BOX:VOLUME is not matching
up in my TASKMAN parameters. When I run the monitor on (D ^ZTMON), I
receive the following.

hecking Taskman. Current $H=61244,58056 (Sep 05, 2008@16:07:36)
RUN NODE=VISTA:CACHEWEB is the wrong type in
taskman site
parameters. (VISTA:CACHEWEB is the wrong type in taskman site
parameters.)
Taskman is late by 5291539641 seconds. not running..
Checking the Status List:
Node weight status time $J
The Status List is empty.

Checking the Schedule List:
Taskman has 20 tasks scheduled.
All of them are overdue. First task is 61650299 seconds late.

Checking the IO Lists: Last TM scan: 61653565 sec,
There are no tasks waiting for devices.

Checking the Job List:
There are no tasks waiting for partitions.

Checking the Task List:
There are no tasks currently running.
On node VISTA:CACHEWEB there are no free Sub-Manager(s). Status:
Run

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Do this. Note that you first have to SELECT the BOX:VOLUME pair that appears
on the upper left after you enter the ? and then you change it to what is on
the lower left after you enter the ?

Well you may not be a programmer but you can describe the problems
with
the documentation better than I. I have the same problem, I will try
the
same solution, Thanks Nancy. Maybe some day they will update the
documentation set.

[Nancy Anthracite]

They is me, since the other person who wrote most of it with me is deceased,
dear Fil Beza.

However, I have written lots of other documentation you might like to take
advantage of. Why don't you call me or I can call you and help you get
oriented a bit. Send me an email off line with your number if you want.

Blees,
Not sure If this will help, but lets see. If I get any of this
wrong, hopefully someone will help out.

To get your current BOX:VOLUME pair you need to log onto your current
NAMSPACE using the CACHE terminal. Usually CACHE starts up in the
“USER” namespace and you have to issue the CD command to change
namespaces. Once in your namespace, you then can issue another
command to display your current BOX:VOLUME pair.

=============================================
Log onto CACHE terminal

Node: inspiron-1100, Instance: CACHEWEB

USER>D ^%CD

Namespace: VISTA-EHR
You're in namespace VISTA-EHR
Default directory is c:\intersystems\cache\mgr\ehr\
VISTA-EHR>
VISTA-EHR>D GETENV^%ZOSV W Y
VISTA-EHR^VISTA^inspiron-1100^VISTA:CACHEWEB
/\----- same as this ----/\

Where UCI^VOLUME^NODE^VOLUME:BOX

<NOTE>: Notice in the above that the 4th piece is actually a
contatination of two values. It is Read literally as the VOLUME:BOX
but when spoken about in text and reading, it is often referred to as
the BOX:VOLUME pair. (Don’t ask, its just the way it is….. )

a. 1st piece is VISTA-EHR and is the namespace created originally when
I was using the CACHE cubes’ SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PORTAL (SMP). It is
also referred to as the “UCI”.
i. SMP > configuration > namespaces
b. 2nd piece is VISTA and is the VOLUME. This value is set by using
the ZTMGRSET command during the install process. NAME OF THIS
CONFIGURATION: VISTA// <this entry here will determine the BOX part
of your BOX:VOLUME pair. In addition it will also be the 2nd part of
the string - VISTA-EHR^VISTA^inspiron-1100^VISTA:CACHEWEB >
d. 3rd piece is "inspiron-1100" and is the computer name that was set-
up when my WINDOWS XP was installed. Start > Settings > Control Panel
> System > Look for the “Computer Name tab”, it will show you your
COMPUTERS NAME. This is also considered the “NODE”.
e. The 4th piece is the VOLUME:BOX and is referred to as the
“BOX:VOLUME” pair when talked about.

Answer with TASKMAN SITE PARAMETERS BOX-VOLUME PAIR:

VISTA:PLATINUM5A3

You may enter a new TASKMAN SITE PARAMETERS, if you wish
Answer must be 3-30 characters in length.

The value for the current account is VISTA:CACHEWEB
BOX-VOLUME PAIR: VISTA:PLATINUM5A3// ?? <enter two ?>

The value for the current account is VISTA:CACHEWEB
Your answer should be the volume set name concatenated with
":"
concatenated with the name of the CPU.

The value for the current process can be found by doing GETENV^
%ZOSV and
checking the fourth ^-piece of Y. This allows the TaskMan
site parameters
to be applied extremely precisely, depending both upon which
volume set
and cpu which is affected.

Select TASKMAN SITE PARAMETERS BOX-VOLUME PAIR: VISTA:PLATINUM5A3
<==NOTE: you have to accept the default entry that came supplied with
your version of the CACHE.DAT file you downloaded. Once you accept
the default entry you will be allowed to type in the BOX:VOLUME pair
that you received from running the above mentioned command "D GETENV^
%ZOSV W Y"

BOX-VOLUME PAIR: VISTA:PLATINUM5A3// VISTA:CACHEWEB <== just as it is
written in the 4th piece of the display.

Let us know if this works,

That's the clearest I have ever seen it explained. Whoever maintains
the instructions on the hardhats website, can you link to this post
for clarification for mortals? --Sam

Thanks everyone for your help.  Butch I was able to get things going with your instructions.  I am sure I will have more questions as I go deeper into the install.  Does anyone know how I can get specific modules installed?  I would like to get the Fee module loaded.

Once again, thanks everyone!

They are probably there already, if not redacted, but you have to figure out
how to configure them. I would guess you are going to have to look at the
VistA Documentation Library long and hard. When you figure out how to do it,
PLEASE put it on the http://VistAPedia.net Wiki.

Hello Nancy,

 

I do have some lingering questions as I am about to install VistA onto a server (was previously testing on my laptop).  Would you be able to help?

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

[Nancy Anthracite]

Sure. Send me a telephone number offline that is good in the evening or
during the day tomorrow.
