NAME

RESOURCE FILE MANAGEMENT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

To prevent multiple jobs from running simultaneously
through a resource device, the device must be monitored.  Also, if a job that
is utilizing a resource device fails, the device must be cleared manually.
This IA will allow the CMOP package to manage the PSX resource device and
prevent potentially harmful results from data merging.

The CMOP transmission process relies on the PSX
resource device to ensure that only one CMOP job runs at a time.  As long as
the sites keep the AVAILABLE SLOTS field set to one there is never a problem.
However, despite many efforts at training we continually discover the
AVAILABLE SLOTS set to more than one. Because two CMOP jobs running
simultaneously has resulted in merged data and involves patient safety, the
CMOP package requests the ability to monitor the PSX resource device and, if
necessary, reset the available slots field to one.
