INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
=========================
Make a backup copy of the current ROES3.exe and ROES3Desktop.exe
files (from a location where they currently are being used) to a
backup location. Note the locations where all instances of those
the Release Notes for this patch.
executables exist, for future maintenance.
All obsolete options, routines, remote procedure calls and files from
previous ROES versions will be removed during the installation. The list
items being removed is listed in the ROUTINE SUMMARY SECTION of the
build.
Only ROES users need be off the system while ROES*3.0*4 is being
installed. This patch should be installed during non-peak hours to
minimize disruption. The total installation may take 15 minutes or more,
depending on the CPRS Tools menu structure and number of ROES and
ROES Desktop executables to update at your site. Be sure that the KIDS
install (steps 1-9) are completed before updating the executables (steps
10-11). The KIDS install will run in less than 2 minutes.
Review your mapped set. If the routines listed in the ROUTINE SUMMARY
section of the build are mapped, they should be removed from the mapped
set at this time.
1. Choose the INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE option on the PackMan menu.
2. For added security, the web connection has been changed from
Answer YES to the prompt 'Want to Continue with Load? YES//'. This
will load the KIDS package onto your system.
2. From the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu, select
the Installation menu.
3. From this menu, you may elect to use the following options (when
prompted for INSTALL NAME, enter RMPF*3.0*4):
a. Backup a Transport Global - this option will create a backup
message of any routines exported with the patch. It will not
clear http to secure http using the https protocol identifier.
backup any changes to DD's.
b. Compare Transport Global to Current System - this option will
allow you to view all changes to routines that will be made
when the patch is installed.
c. Verify Checksums in Transport Global - this option will allow you
to ensure the integrity of the routines that are in the
Transport Global.
4. Then choose the Install Package(s) option and select RMPF*3.0*4.
5. When prompted "Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONs during the install?
NO//", respond NO (unless otherwise indicated)
6. When prompted 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options,
and Protocols? YES//', respond "YES". When prompted to select the
options you would like to place out of order, enter the following:
ROES3 OPTION ACCESS [RMPF ROES3]
7. If prompted 'Enter protocols you wish to mark as 'Out of Order':
This patch addresses several issues that have come up at the VA Medical
3. Adjustments were made for 64 bit terminal servers to access and
press <return>.
8. When prompted 'Delay Install (Minutes): (0-60): 0//; respond '0.'
9. If you unmapped routines at the start, those SENT TO SITE
should be returned to the mapped set once this part of the
installation is complete.
10. Retrieve the file RMPF3_0P4.ZIP and extract files ROES3.exe and
ROES3DeskTop.exe.
use the ROES web site.
11. All existing instances of ROES3.exe and ROES3DeskTop.exe need to
be replaced, regardless of whether they reside on server(s) or
individual workstation(s).
To do this, copy the new executable files to those locations,
replacing the existing version. Take care NOT to inadvertently
replace the ROES3.exe file with the ROES3DeskTop.exe file,
or vice versa. When this is completed properly, the command line
option from CPRS Tools and the desktop links to ROES should continue
to work without any modifications.
If additional guidance is needed for the GUI installation, please refer
to the ROES 3 Installation Guide on the System Design and Development
web page at: http://www.domain.ext/vdl. Within the Clinical section look for
'Remote Order Entry System (ROES)'. Under that option you will find the
Installation Guide, Security Guide, Technical Manual and User Manual.
4. Connections from CPRS to the ROES web server will only be allowed to
actually enter the web site if they are from a VistA production account to
prevent false Veteran information from becoming a part of the national
database.
5. Menu options, routines, remote procedure calls and security keys
from prior versions of ROES that are no longer needed will be removed.

This patch contains the following enhancements and problem resolutions:
==========================================================
The ROES application requires that the user's browser have JAVA
available and enabled in order to function. Sun has not developed a
64-bit version of JAVA, so on 64-bit terminal server installations the
browser is not JAVA capable. This may prevent some ROES features from
working properly. 64-bit installations also have a 32-bit browser
which resides at a location different from the normal 32-bit location.
That new location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE.
The ROES executables that connect to the internet application have been
modified to check for the 32-bit Internet Explorer at that location.
This change will not affect any current 32-bit installations because, if
Internet Explorer is not found at that location, ROES will look in the
Issues addressed in this patch are:
usual installation directories:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE or
C:\Program Files\PLUS!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE
On a 64-Bit installation, if the ROES application still does not work
properly after installing the new executable, please ensure the path
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" does exist on
the workstation.
All workstations accessing the ROES application from either CPRS or the
desktop need to have the RPCBroker Listener running, as in the previous
releases of ROES. Refer to the RPCBroker Installation Guide for further
direction, if needed. It can be retrieved from http://www.domain.ext/vdl.
The following VistA routines have been modified to address new standards
guidelines.
1. RMPFRPC0 - Eligibility calculations were modified for new rules and
categories and is now called directly from RMPFRPC1 instead of from
remote procedure call RMPFELIG.
