Not a programmer, but you need to change the data in a protected field? Just found out that you used the wrong state abbreviation for Maine, and you just created 150 records? Take advantage of this workshop to learn how to access a data file and change or delete the data within the file without a specific access program of two very powerful tools. The data file utility (DFU), which is part of the iSeries™ Applications Development Tools package available from IBM®, is a program builder that helps you create programs to enter data, update tables, and make inquiries. It can be one of the best friends you’ll make in the iSeries world. One of the other best friends you can make is DBU, a third party product. It is a utility that also lets you add, change, delete, and display records in a file without creating a program. With DBU you can:

• Add, change, delete and display records in any file
• Search and replace/delete using multiple search arguments
• Have instant access to data base relations allowing selection
• Access on-line file layouts for field selection and documentation
• Complete user profile based security and audit logs

Audience: IT staff responsible for file and database management. Use of these powerful tools is not for the faint of heart.

Your brand new IBM i5/iSeries has been installed and your MS4 software was just loaded. Now what? Join the Fast Start workshop to get acquainted with the i5, as well as how MS4 utilizes this versatile system. In Part 1 you will learn about MS4 object nomenclature, i5 commands, i5 menus, i5 security, and work management.

Audience: Anyone who wants to know more about navigating the i5 and MS4′s relationship to it

In Part 2 of the Fast Start workshop we continue learning about work management and then move into the MS4 menu driver, problem determination, journaling, and much more.

Audience: Anyone who wants to know more about navigating the i5 and MS4′s relationship to it

Triggers are great little time savers that ensure updated or new data gets put in all the right places. They are programs attached to a database event that run automatically when the event occurs. The GP Triggers workshop gives you an understanding of how MS4’s GP triggers operate and what they can do. This session offers hands-on work with the Trigger Master file, associated job descriptions, attaching and removing triggers, and managing trigger errors.

Audience: IT staff responsible for maintaining triggers

This workshop will help you get the upper hand on the interfaces associated with MedSeries4 clinical applications. You will gain practical experience in deciphering the magical world of HL7 transactions, understanding where the data came from, where it goes, and how it might be transformed in the process. Department Orders and Results interfaces will be discussed in this in depth look at managing your clinical data. Note: Medication order interfaces will NOT be covered in this workshop. Please see W51 for interfaces to Pharmacy.

Audience: IT and Clinical Coordinators responsible for implementation and ongoing support of the Clinical Suite applications.

Come experience hands-on training for interface troubleshooting using the MS4 HL7 IFTOOLS menu options. Learn methods for tracing outbound events through trigger, build, and communications processes, and see how to determine whether inbound events have been received and successfully posted. Checking and managing the status of interface jobs and communications connections will also be covered.

Audience: IT technical staff involved with HL7 transactions
