CPRS not connecting to OSEHRA VistA with most recent build 03/15

[Ryan Schulteis]

I downloaded the most recent version of OSEHRA VistA from http://github.com/OSEHRA/VistA.git onto #1)An ubuntu VM; #2) An AWS ubuntu image; #3) A Rackspace ubuntu image.  I followed the installation directions from github and seemingly got a successful installation in every case.  When I log into the roll&scroll using SSH and the access/verify codes "fakedoc1" and "1Doc!@#$" as provided -- No problem! 

CRPS, however, will not connect and I keep getting the error "Not a valid ACCESS CODE/VERIFY CODE par" (see screenshot above).  Thinking it might be a problem with capitalization, I logged into the VistA roll&scroll and changed the VERIFY CODE for that account to something with all lowercase.  No dice.  I'm certain it's on the right port, if I change the port I can't even attempt to login.  Similarly, I'm sure that I have the right host IP.  I've tried every configuration that I can find including both with and without "CCOW=disable".

If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated!  I'm a VA physician trying to learn a bit more about VistA and CRPS, and I'm very appreciative of this community and its collective intelligence.

Is your null device set up correctly?

Sounds like a good question ... I have to admit I don't truly understand the term "null device".  Is this something I can check by logging into VistA and reaching a programmer prompt?  At my current level, I can log into the roll & scroll UI or I can ssh into the ubuntu terminal and type "mumps -dir" to get a programmer prompt.  Once I have that, I don't know much M code other than D ^ZU, honestly.  Anyway, if you could tell me more about configuring a null device, that would be great!

Thanks,
Ryan

Here is an example of getting into Fileman to edit my null device on a Debian
installation. Ubuntu is derived from Debian so it should be similar.

Can you get to Fileman from your menu when you use D ^ZU

$ mumps -dir <=== would go here on your installation and you GTM prompt may be
just GTM>, certainly not nancyGTM>

I was able to execute those commands and enter Fileman.  I've posted the screenshots.  When I reached "LOCAL SYNONYM" ... was I to enter "$I: /dev/null//" ... I hope so, because that's what I did.  After completing this, I did try to login with CPRS again, but no luck.

[Kevin Toppenberg]

If this turns out the be the problem, I am appalled.  I have been in the VistA world almost 10 yrs now, and we still can't get a distro to be ready to go after download?  Yes such a distro exists, but it is not in the main stream, so stuff from upstream keeps coming that has the same bugs and gotcha's year after year.

Ryan,

I have some time today.  If you email me directly with your phone number, I'll try to call you in about an hour and I'll see if I can help you.

that NULL for the NT system is wrong, but that is not a concern for you.
SInce all three have /dev/null, that is probably not your problem.

Likewise for me if you and Kevin can't connect. Also, tTat the debugging
output to make sure you are using the New Broker. Do this and then try to
connect CPRS and look at the log. You should be seeing only [XWB things and
no {XWB things if the New Broker is being used.

Hi Dr. Schulteis,

There is another avenue for this problem to show itself and it deals with the cipher hash that CPRS and the other GUIs use when sending Access/Verify code information to VistA, which is found in XUSRB1.m (https://github.com/OSEHRA/VistA-M/blob/master/Packages/Kernel/Routines/XUSRB1.m).  The hash is what encrypts and de-crypts the information on either side.  If the ciphers don't match, then the submitted codes will never be verified as correct.  

This is a problem that the OSEHRA repository code has dealt with in the past by attempting keeping a single hash. But when we merged one of the more recent  FOIA releases (Nov 2014), It was necessary to update the hash which broke some connections to the Delphi GUIs.  I've compiled a version of CPRS 30.15 for you to try which uses the same hash as what is found in the VistA-M repository master branch.  It can be found at 

http://code.osehra.org/files/CPRS/CPRSChart.exe

The file has a SHA1 sum of "5dac623bcb253f3e065aa9a0050bb2f151dd448d" if you are interested in verifying the file after downloading it.  Please try this new executable file with the same login information.

Thanks,

Joseph

[Ryan Schulteis]

Thank you Joseph, Nancy, and Kevin.

Joseph:  I am about to try your version of CPRS 30.  That makes sense to me.  And maybe the RPC view log that I generated by following Nancy's recent instructions will give you a hint as to whether or not this is the problem.

Nancy: Thanks again.  I followed those directions (after using the system manger account to log-in following the D ^XUP command) and the output is posted above ... looks like [XWB rather than {XWB so I take this to mean I am using the new broker. 

[Ryan Schulteis]

Success!  Thank you everyone.  I've attached a screenshot above to show that Dr. Robert Alexander is able to finally take proper care of Patient D. Four !!

Replacing my version of CPRSChart.exe (from OSEHRA http://files.osehra.org/CPRS_Demo_0613.zip) with the one linked above from Joseph's response (http://code.osehra.org/files/CPRS/CPRSChart.exe) allowed entry with the usual fakedoc1 + 1Doc!@#$ access/verify codes.

I definitely learned a little bit along this journey.  Nancy, do you have a link to some literature where I could learn more about what all those M commands you had me enter actually mean?

[Ryan Schulteis]

Screenshot of success as promised ;)

[Joe Snyder]

Glad to hear it! 

Unfortunately, I cannot help with the Vitals Manager GUI or Vitals GUI as OSEHRA doesn't have the source code to build and update the cipher within them.  But the Vitals Lite functionality, within the CPRS main screen, should continue to be available if set up correctly.  

OSEHRA does have some tutorials on FileMan, if that is what you are interested in. Sam Habiel worked with OSEHRA to generate a programming-focused Fileman Tutorial.  As for the MUMPS commands, I'll defer to Nancy for the best source of information.

- Joe

[Sam Habiel]

Joe,

Thank you! I didn't know where that ended up on the net. Glad it's still there. I still have a copy on my repo. I plan on expanding it soon for my class.

Hi all

I am new to Vista and found this group extremely helpful. I am also facing the issue of connecting to OSEHRA Vista via CPRS Gui. I tried to download the CPRS 30.15 as suggested but the link is not working for me. Could you please help?

Thanks
