Hi Larry,

I know this is a pretty old post, but  would you mind sharing what solution you went with?  Thank You

Hi all,  

Although we don’t have specific plans from moving away from IBM / AIX based hardware, we would be interested in hearing from any of you regarding why you made the switch to (presumably) intel / vmware from others.  Did anyone do this from IBM hardware?  Was it better fail over capabilities (shorter recovery time?) or other reasons?     Also, any comments regarding improved (or different) reliability would be welcome.

We may perhaps consider something like this for our test systems as the availability of our test environments are becoming just as important as production, especially during weekdays.

If this is better to have a separate thread for this, I can do that as well.

Thanks

Karl

I downloaded ours from inforxtreme.com -> Downloads -> Products -> …

Hmmm – Not seeing it for me.  Only have Cloverleaf as an option under documentation. in the infoxtreme portal. I’ll contact support tomorrow.

I was hoping to see them today as well.  I think this was the estimated release date.

Wow.  Thanks everyone.  Great stuff.  I like the NFS approach to get access to the files.  We have used NFS on some of our systems.

To clarify, the link would be a file link presumably accessible by the interface engine for reading and moving into an HL7 message.

Lots of tcl programming. It was not terribly difficult, but be very familiar with tcl programming and developing interfaces with tcl, UPOCS etc.

Hi,

This may or may not be helpful, but our team will be weighing the pros and cons for this in the near future, at some level.  One of the thinngs I am advocating for is actually separating the “executable” code” (ie the code (Xlate, tclprocs etc. that sit in a given $HCISITEDIR) from the source (which could live in another directory structure / repository outside of the engine site directories.  I think it may be a safer and less impactful method of maintaining the code.    Of course we have not tried this, so this may or may not be problematic.

I would be interested in hearing a little more on how you set up svn.

I too am interested in this area.  Although I have never used git before a quick look at it looks promising.  

I have recently thought that one could maintain a separate “source” copy of the code using git perhaps as a way to ease into it / get comfortable with it without affecting the current “executable” of the cloverleaf code (xlate,tclprocs, etc.) which of course is also the source currently.     The NetConfig and hl7 variants would be tricky I think.

I hope to experiment with this in the near future.
