11. Configuration & Test Findings and Recommendations In order to provide a 12 digit patient ID as the barcode for the patient wristband, it was necessary to switch from using the data flow for the embosser card to the data flow for the wristband routine. This was accomplished with the assistance of AMT Data South. We edited the %ZISTCP routine to remove mods made for IHS Patient Chart in order to enhance the response time of the BCMA Client GUI. There should only be one port defined for the VA RPC Broker listener. It can then be used by more than one application (i.e.. Vista Imaging, Radiology Reports, as well as BCMA) Taskman Scheduling Issues: Start Up or Start Up Persistent - Edit ‘Special Queuing’ field for tasks that don’t really need this status – Too many items cause a significant delay during reboot. Only listener type tasks should be persistent.
