From a quick look I would do it as VRL and Tcl. VRL would define your message and I would then use Tcl to check the patients number and the date. For each matching record concatenate them into either a HRL or another VRL (both built of VRL records) and then on change of date/MRN forward your concatenated message to the next stage.

The next…Read more

I’ve run various versions of Cloverleaf (5.4 onwards) on virtual platforms for a number of years now. We used Windows Server for the guest OS but aslong as it met the system requirements for Cloverleaf we didn’t have any issues.

Lawson say they don’t support Cloverleaf in a VM but this isn’t as bad as it sounds as long as your guest systems…Read more

When I did this I used option 2. This was for an sftp client before it was included with Cloverleaf.

It works well – What I did was for each message I called a upoc which created an sftp script. I then called the script from the upoc using exec. This gave me some auditing and I could also run the sftp manually if it…Read more

hcihostid was always based on the MAC addresss. So as long as you didn’t change network cards you would be OK.

This was supposed to change on later versions CloverLeaf but I don’t know which version (if any) was the cutover.

If your 5.8 install is still working then I would guess its still using the MAC address.

Hope this helps.

Based purely on the text in the error message I would say that you are not connected to the DB and you need to look at your connection string.

Take a look here. I think you need to use connection string syntax rather than the ODBC configuration tool.

Tclsh84 is referring to Tclsh for Tcl 8.4. Your error message is for Tcl 8.1. i suspect that maybe part of the problem.

I can’t remember which Tcl version comes with which CloverLeaf. but one thing to try is run the tclsh that comes with CloverLeaf which could be 8.1 based on the error.

So your command becomes:

You would need to add the IB (Intelligence Broker) to provide web services.

Are all 15 messages different? Can you identify them or at least the one you want to send?

If so all you need to do is add an IF block.

Have you asked Lawson? They used to do tool that documents Cloverleaf – It wasn’t cheap mind.

The alternative is to parse netconfig yourself and extract the data and build your own documentation. I think there are some tcl scripts in one of the user contributed or unsupported directories that do the basics of this. They allow you to parse…Read more

I havent done this particular process but in the past I had to take a fixed format lab output and convert it to VRL with a number whistles and bells including sequential numbers, flags, etc.

It’s a few years since I did this but you have two options (I think)

1. Append the ODBCINI with cacheodbc
2. Edit odbc.ini and include the cacheodbc.ini contents.

Option 2 will leave your environment alone as all you are changing is odbc.ini – If you make a copy before you change anything then nothing is lost.

You will need the Intersystems Cache SQL driver. Not sure about a version for Solaris.

I’ve never used 5.8 but I’ve successfully run older versions as VM’s including 5.5 and 5.6.

All I can suggest is that you log a call with Cloverleaf support and see if they can assist in isolating the problem.

May not be relevant if you are using newer versions.

In the first instance I would look into what’s causing the 201 error and fix that.

You can use Tcl to filter messages – Simply read the message, check for a string or pattern and then kill the message so it doesn’t go through the engine. I would also add a log of some kind to record the messages you are killing.

BUT – I’d fix the 201 error…Read more

It’s good to see that my simple efforts are still in use and appreciated.

Tom – I wrote the table creator for exactly the situation you refer to. I got fed up with typing them in every time.

Is it a Window’s server with a security policy applied? If so then this is the problem you get.

We used to install Cloverleaf before the Infrastructure team locked the servers down – Always a race 😉

Yes – You can add the user manually – I have in the past. Just make sure you get the password right.

Windows firewall on your laptop is obvious one to check but hopefully you’ve already enabled that correctly.

Is the server Windows or *nix – Again firewall, iptables etc.

I used RDP for over 8 years to connect to remote Cloverleaf sites in hospitals all over the UK without any problems.

As to your last question – Have you changed the service user from hciuser? If not then the service will run as that that user no matter who starts it up.

Hope this helps.

Garry

It is possible using some of the Table commands in Tcl. I would not recommend it though as you have to be aware of locking issues and performance hits.

Use Sqlite or similar as suggested by David.

Garry

This isn’t something I’ve ever tried but why are you using mixed code? Can’t you either write it all in Java or in Tcl?

A third party wrote and provided the stored procedures I just plugged in to what  they gave me.

I was just trying to give another example of how to call stored procedures – If you try your SP name and set up the parameters does it work.

get_by_dsf is the actual SP name, I think the rest refers to a library path of some kind.

I spent weeks trying to get stored procedures to work on Solaris when they worked without issue on Windows.

I actually do it a different way to you. This example code has 4 inputs and 7 outputs – So 11 parameters in all. This is how I set it up and run it.

I’m sure there are many other ways of doing this and this method may not suit…Read more

Have you tried using a comma? I don’t know whether that’s what’s needed but sometimes the simplest options are the best.

I’m sure I saw somewhere that this issue has been resolved on Windows on later versions of Cloverleaf due to the use of a newer version of the Raima database.

I could be getting my wires crossed and it could be a different problem that the upgrade resolves but it is worth asking support for clarification.

Regards

Garry

hciwish is the UI for the Tcl shell. As you say it will have been popping up a window on your server to display alerts so you should be able to kill this off.

It may be worth viewing the alerts window in the Cloverleaf UI to determine what the alert(s) is/are as something may need attention.

Regards

Garry

If you are on a cluster are you using the Lawson/HealthVision/Quovadx high availability scripts?

From memory (and its a while since I worked on one) they provide a script that runs on startup that starts Cloverleaf. Does that not provide the environment variables or provide a means by which you could access them?

Regards

Garry

I just run setroot when I need the Cloverleaf environment.

The only thing I can think of is that you run a batch script as part of your server startup that would call setroot and thus give you your environment variables without having to manually run anything.

Garry

How have you set the Tcl up as a service – Using the Windows SDK Toolkit? Is it still a .tcl file or are you using .htc or have you ‘wrapped’ using something like Freewrap?

Rather than pass parameters, use the scripting option with WinSCP. I have over 30 (very simple) interfaces that use WinSCP to SFTP files to various systems using this method to generate scripts on the fly from a Tclproc.

Not sure if I understand exactly what you want to do but why don’t you use either return -code error or return -code return?

Using return error allows you to return an error state to the calling procedure and you could add an error string as follows:

I’m not sure whether JDBC drivers can be used with anything other than Java but if you are using Tcl then download the SQL native client from the MS web site and use that – it works fine.

Why complicate things?

Yes, I have. I cheated and used a scriptable third party SFTP client – I used WinSCP.

At a guess even without seeing the error message I suspect you have spaces or some other character in a field that SQL doesn’t like.

I remember the joys of CLINiCOM – I used to work for SMS/Torex/iSOFT.

I’ve got some routines that may help. I’ve got a modified version of James Cobane’s convert_smat that maybe useful to you. This converts a SMAT to a newline terminated file that can be edited/searched in a text editor. I’ve also got some scripts that cycle SMAT that can be run as scheduled tasks.

You should be OK. From memory, Java is installed in the Cloverleaf environment and is only accessible if you are in Cloverleaf or a hci enabled shell. If you then install Java as a normal install the two should sit side by side. I’ve actually had two versions of Java installed normally and the Cloverleaf install on one machine and used…Read more

I’ve never done it but it should be possible. Have a look at tCOM for accessing the spreadsheet if you are using Tcl. If you know Java then there is a open source library called jExcel which also may be of use.
