Answer 'NO' to 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and
Protocols?' question.
7. MSM Sites - Answer YES to the question 'Want to MOVE routines to
other CPUs?'. Then enter the names of your other Compute and Print
server(s).
8. KIDS will load the patch without further intervention. During the
KIDS install, KIDS will produce the following messages:
Data Dictionary for File #.403 not installed.
Data Dictionary for File #.404 not installed.
These message do NOT indicate an error condition. They are reporting that
new Data Dictionaries for the Form and Block files are not being installed
A. Import Data option
although data for those files is being updated. This is correct.
The new option is the Import Data option found on the Other Options
submenu (DIOTHER) on the VA FileMan menu. This option invokes a
ScreenMan form used to define the import. In addition to moving data
from a host file into a VA FileMan file, the Import Tool produces a
report of the import activity.
============
Documentation of the Import Tool is located in a revised Chapter 18 of
the VA FileMan User Manual. Previously, that chapter documented the
Data Export Tool. Now, Chapter 18 documents both the Import and Export
Tools. The National Center for Documentation will be distributing this
revised chapter. Acrobat versions of both the change pages, and the
User Manual updated with the change pages, are available at
http://www.vista.domain.ext/softserv/infrastr.uct/fileman/docs/
The new chapter is also available in HTML format at:
http://www.vista.domain.ext/softserv/infrastr.uct/fileman/docs/u2/
(access the Import/Export Tools chapter)
B. FILE^DDMP API
The programmer API consists of a single call: FILE^DDMP. Functionally,
it is equivalent to the user option. The API allows the programmer to
specify the parameters of the data import.
This patch implements new VA FileMan functionality: the Import Tool.
Documentation in HTML format for the API can be found at:
http://www.vista.domain.ext/softserv/infrastr.uct/fileman/docs/
pm/ft_ddmpf.htm
C. Import Template file
A new file is added by this patch: the Import Template file (#.46). The
file's data is stored in an existing global -- root: ^DIST(.46. No data
for the file is contained in this patch.
The Import Tool will move data from an ASCII host file into a VA FileMan
