Answer 'NO' to 'Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONS during the install?'.
Answer 'NO' to 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options,
and Protocols?'.
6. Startup all Logical Links and incoming and outgoing filers. Use the
Filer and Link Management Options ->
RA Restart/Start All Links and Filers
(Note that links that do not have "autostart" enabled will need to
be restarted manually)
For DSM sites ONLY, if you previously disabled an HL7 UCX Service
for this installation, you may now enable it.
7. DSM Sites: Rebuild your mapped set if necessary.
This problem was originally indentified in Milwaukee when the Dictaphone

application tried to execute a MPI/PD processing routine (EN^RGADT).
Most recently, the problem appeared at the Birmingham VAMC. Some user
inactivated a Lab interface application which caused an endless loop
creating application acks that were never received/processed because the
VistA HL7 application was inactivated.
This patch addresses the following issues:
The problem lies in the CONT^HLTP3 subroutines, the HL("EIDS") variable,
defining the subscribing protocol, is not defined. The software sets the
HL("EIDS") variable to HLEIDS. The value of HLEIDS is not reliable, in
most cases the variable has not been properly set/killed.
In addition, the inbound filers were not locking the cross-reference
^HLMA("AC","I",... in order to flush to global cache buffers.
In this case, the HL7 link receiving a message for an application
kills the cross-reference(entry in the inbound tcp/ip queue),
releases other locks, the inbound filers kicks in and grabs the lock at a
different parent level ^HLMA(ien), checks for the existence of
^HLMA("AC","I",LLien,MSGien) and since no locking was performed on this
cross-reference, this piece of code thinks this entry exists. Hence, the
inbound filers begin to process this message, finds
variables left around from a previous message(MPI/PD or HL7 itself),
invokes code that uses these variables to set other HL7 variables when
these variables itself are not setup properly. This in turn causes the
code to call the MPI/PD application which in turn fires off exception
messages to Forum.
1. ISH-1000-42883 wrong processing routine being executed for VistA HL7 apps
These problems may be triggered by an inbound HL7 message that was not
properly constructed in terms of the HL7 MSH segment. The VistA HL7
software needs from the MSH segment, the Sending/Receiving Application
names, Message Type, Event Type and Version ID.
The HL7 Protocol setups may also have triggered this problem if the data
in the MSH segment of an inbound message does not match the interface
definition setups.
Therefore, sites will still need to correct problems with their local
interfaces. This patch only prevents the wrong application from being
executed.
Routine Information:
====================
The following routines are included in this patch. The second line of each
of these routines now looks like:

Sites should use CHECK^XTSUMBLD to verify checksums.
Installation Instructions:
==========================
1. Users are allowed to be on the system during the installation.
2. DSM SITES: Review your mapped set. If any of the routines listed in
the Routine Summary section are mapped, they should be removed from
the mapped set at this time.
3. Shutdown all Logical Links and incoming and outgoing filers, and
the Link Manager. Use the options:
The wrong processing routine is being executed (EN^RGADT)
Filer and Link Management Options ->
SA Stop All Messaging Background Processes
LM TCP/IP Link Manager Start/Stop
For DSM sites ONLY, disabled all HL7 UCX Services
for this installation.
4. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
for non-MPI/PD applications. This causes a MPI/PD exception to be
5. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global.
On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
options:
2 Verify Checksums in Transport Global
3 Print Transport Global
4 Compare Transport Global to Current System
5 Backup a Transport Global
6 Install Package(s)
