VueCentric Architecture Overview

RPMS-EHR Technical Overview VueCentric Architecture: Martin Butler, Medsphere Software Developer Presenters – May 19-22, 2008

VueCentric Architecture Visual Interface Manager (VIM) Component Support Services (CSS) Component Management Service (CMS) Component Service Layer (CSL) Updater Service Object Repository Object Registry Template Registry

Visual Interface Manager Principal executable Acts as an intelligent container for components Defines the visual relationship of components to one another Possesses a design feature that allows the tailoring of the environment under user control Initializes and prepares the Component Support Services for use by components Provides application menu management VIM.exe

Visual Interface Manager Command Line Options blank caption color debug design fixtabs host icon

Visual Interface Manager Command Line Options image log noccow nocompose nodesign nojoin notimeout noupdate

Visual Interface Manager Command Line Options server showflags template timeout trace updateall verbose windowstate

Component Support Services In-process COM server Globally shared within application process Provides services common to all objects –RPC support (sync and async) –event subscription/delivery –shared services –context management –object registration CSS.dll

Component Management Service In-process COM server Globally shared within application process Manages component access and deployment –object registry –access control –automatic updates CMS.dll

Updater Service Runs as an NT service Runs under local system account Performs all component updates Resolves issues with insufficient permissions Multithreaded and scalable Framework will automatically detect and use Must be deployed by a domain administrator vcUpdaterService.exe

Communication Service CIA RPC Broker User Authentication (3 modes) Remote Procedure Support (sync and async) Event Polling vcRPCB_R.bpl

Application Repository Location for gold copies of application executables and support libraries Should be located in a shared folder Updater utility automatically propagates updates to local workstation “bin” folder

Object Repository Location for gold copies of objects and supporting components Single vs multiple locations Web model for object updates Object retrieval by multiple protocols –Local file system (globally shared folder) –HTTP –FTP “lib” folder

Object Registry Stores information about objects (visual and non-visual) available to VueCentric Object Registry management tool –Default settings –User-accessible properties –Version control –Setup scripts –Security –Import/Export VueCentric Object Registry file

Template Registry Stores snapshots of user interface configurations Template Registry management tool –Rename –Copy –Delete –Associate –Import/Export VueCentric Template Registry file
