      the new system.
      
       (Note: the Send option will appear only after patch 32 is installed.)
      
       This menu is locked with the already existing ABSV MGR Security Key; so,
       only holders of that key will be able to run these options.
      
       Briefly,
      
         PREP option does some initial setup for your site and sends information
       that is used to establish your site on the VSS centralized server.  Run
       
       this option once only.
      
         VAL option checks your existing data and creates a report of entries
       that contain inconsistent data that can be corrected before the data is
       sent to the new system.  This option can be run as often as you like.
      
         PRNT option displays the results of the Validate option.  It can be run
       as often as you like.
      
         VOL option allows the user to edit all the fields they need to correct
       
       a problem with the Volunteer information.
      
         DAIL option allows the user to edit all the fields they need to correct
       a problem with Regular Hours information.
      
         OCC option allows the user to edit all the fields they need to correct
       a problem with Occasional Hours information.
      
         SEND option sends the data to the new system.  It should be run only once
       unless SI instructs you to run it again.
      PATCH DEPENDENCIES:
      
      
       PREPARE FOR  TRANSITION TO VSS
      
       VSS will contain information about your Voluntary Service.  If your site is
       multi-divisional, it will contain information about each division to which
       Volunteer Hours are recorded.  Most of the information about your Voluntary
       Service and its staff will entered by Voluntary Service personnel using the
       new VSS web interface.  However, some data is needed for initial setup of
       your site.  The main purpose of the Prepare for Transition to VSS option is
       
       to gather this preliminary information and to send it to the people who will
       do the initial data entry.
      
       Following is the dialog you will see when running this option.
      
       Select Voluntary Data Migration Menu Option: Prepare for Transition to VSS
      
       You are starting the process that will move 
       Voluntary Timekeeping data to the new 
       Voluntary Service System application.
      None.
      
       First, information about your site will be collected.
       Your Volunteer Daily Time file will be scanned to find 
       all sites referenced.  This will take some time.
      
       Done.
      
       Your primary site number is 605
       Hours are recorded to the following sites:
                          605
       
      
       The option has looked through your Volunteer Daily Time file and identified
       all the sites (or institutions) to which regular volunteer hours have been
       recorded since 10/1/1996.  Displayed are your primary station number and
       the station numbers of all the sites for which hours were found.
      
       If this information appears to be incorrect, answer the following question
       "NO" and contact SI for further instructions.  Otherwise, answer "YES" and
       proceed.
      
       
       Is this site information correct? YES
      
       Now an entry for your site is made in a new file that was installed on your
       system by patch 31, the Voluntary Migration Log file.  The data recorded
       when running the migration options is stored in this file.

       recorded.  In this example, only one station is involved.  If your
       multi-divisional site has more than one station, answer the questions for
       each station even if the answers are the same.

       The first seven questions are self-explanatory.  
       
      
       The questions about the User Administrator refer to the lead person at
       your site. That person will be responsible for entering site data and
       setting up other local users.  Often, it will be the Voluntary Service
       Chief.
      
       It is very important that this person's NT Username is entered correctly.
       You must enter both the domain and the username separated by a "\".
      
       Next you are asked for the e-mail address of the recipient of this
      ROUTINE SUMMARY:
       information.  The message is sent via MailMan to a Microsoft Exchange
       address.  SI will provide you with the necessary e-mail address. You can
       also send the message to local MailMan recipients.  In the following
       example, John Smith is the user.
      
       Your local IRM must assure that mail can be sent successfully to the
       domain.ext domain.  The sending of this message will be a test of that
       domain, which will also be used when the actual data is sent.
      
       Sending a message containing information about your site.
      ================
       Enter a Recipient of the Institution Creation message: first.last@domain.ext
       Enter a Recipient of the Institution Creation message:
                                      SMITH,JOHN (use your own name here)
       Enter a Recipient of the Institution Creation message: <RET>
       Message sent.  Message number: 8250639
      
       This completes the preparatory option on the MUMPS system.  SI will
       contact you after your site has been initialized on VSS and the new
       system is ready to recieve your data.  
      
       The following is a list of the routines that are included in this
       You can now proceed with the review of your local data.
      
      
       VALIDATE EXISTING DATA:

       patch.  The second line of each of these routines now looks like:
         OCC    Occasional Hours Edit
         SEND   Send Voluntary Data to VSS
      
       Select Voluntary Data Migration Menu Option: Validate Existing Data
      
       Data that will be moved to the new Voluntary Service System database
       will now be checked for consistency.
      
       The result will be recorded in the Voluntary Migration Log File.
       You will have the opportunity to print these results.
              ;;4.0;VOLUNTARY TIMEKEEPING;*31*;Jul 1994
      
       The data validation process will review all of the entries that will be
       moved from your VistA VTK system to the new VSS server.  A report will be
       made containing each entry that has incorrect or inconsistent data.
       You can use that report to correct entries so that a complete set of data
       is moved to the new system.
      
       Entries that are reported as containing a problem will not be migrated to
       the new system unless the problem is corrected in your data.
      
       
       Because there are many records involved, running this option may take some
       time.  Particularly time consuming will be the validation of the Volunteer
       Regular Hours.
      
       A dialog indicating progress is presented as the validation goes on.  When
       the check of each file is done, the number of entries with errors is
       displayed.

       The error reports are grouped by type and indicate the record number (IEN)
       of the record that contains the problem.  For the volunteers, the name of
       the volunteer is also shown to help in identification.
       
       This completes the data validation option.  This option can be rerun with
       results reflecting the status of your data at the time it is rerun.

       CORRECTING DATA:
      
       You are requested to run the data validation option weeks before the actual
       switch to the new system so that you have the opportunity to correct invalid
       records.  Corrected records will be migrated to the new system while those
       remaining with an error will be rejected.
      
       The method of correction will depend on the problem.  In some cases, you
       will have to contact volunteers; in others, you will have to refer to paper
       records.  When the necessary information is obtained, you will usually be

       able to use the existing VTK options to make the change.  You can also use
       the three options supplied in this patch: Master Volunteer Edit , Daily Time

       Following is an example of correcting Volunteer data.  Copied below is a
       line from the validation report run above:
      
       Volunteer record #3418 with Name MAYO,MARION has incorrect sex data.
      ABSVMVV1        N/A             12548749        31
      
       A volunteer with record number 3418 in the Voluntary Master file whose name
       is Marion Mayo somehow has incorrect information in the SEX field.  It is
       unimportant how that erroneous data got there.  Suppose you determine that
       Marion is a woman.  Correct the error by using the Register/Edit Volunteer
       in Master File option:
      
       
       Select Master File Maintenance Menu Option: Register/Edit Volunteer in
       Master File
       
      ABSVMVV2        N/A             11698483        31
      
       Select Volunteer Name: `3418  MAYO,MARION
      
       Note: the volunteer is selected by putting an accent grave (`) in front of
       the entry number from the error report.  This method should work for any
       data you are correcting, regardless of file.  In this case, you could have
       also used the name.
      
       Do you wish to Add/Edit Volunteer specific data? YES//<RET>   (YES)

       Here the source of the error is clear.  Somehow a "Z" was input into the
      
       SEX field.  The data validation option identified this as being incorrect.
       Here, it is corrected to F for Female.
