6. VueCentric Architecture Overview

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

8. 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

10. 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

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

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

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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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

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

22. Communication Service Parameters –Host Polling Interval –Maximum # of Resource Devices –# of Resource Slots to Allocate –Authentication Method Server-side Configuration

23. Communication Service Parameters –Host Polling Interval –Maximum # of Resource Devices –# of Resource Slots to Allocate –Authentication Method normal client-cached server-cached Server-side Configuration

24. Communication Service Files –CIA LISTENER –CIA AUTHENTICATION –CIA EVENT TYPE –CIA EVENT LOG Server-side Configuration

25. Communication Service Options (CIANB MAIN MENU) –Edit CIA RPC broker package parameters –Start all registered listeners –Stop all registered listeners –Purge event log Server-side Configuration

26. 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

27. 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

28. 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

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