Cedric,
I wonder if this is the basis for Peter Machell's report about the
slowdown in MD3 rollout by HCN?
If it proves that the experience you recount is repeatable/inevitable,
then everyone using MD2 does have to sit tight for the moment.
Can you give us some idea of the size of the documents tables concerned?

I don't think so. This problem with FRU is obviously an old problem.
Another user warned HCN about this a few years ago, and his posting on HCN
forum was ignored. We don't know if it effects all users as only a few
people have noticed this. If all MD2 users opens all their Documents &
Letters, they may find a few blank ones. Since it is an impossible task, it
will be long time before users discover this - if effected. The Dr where it
happened over the WE had dozens of blank documents / letters. He only
discovered this by chance. He has reproduced it on 2 different PC's.
Restoring a backup brings back these documents. A few years ago HCN changed
the FRU process by excluding documents unless you tick the box. Then it had
a warning to only tick box if instructed by Support. This warning now
replaced by warnng that if tick box the FRU will take much longer. Thus
nobody's Documents heve been checked during this period (2-3 years). Hence
problems was bound to arise.
All I'm saying is Dr's using FRU must be warned that they may (not will)
loose data. If you use Premigration check, the same applies.
Cedric
Cedric,
But if a reasonable number of those preparing to migrate to MD3 are now
discovering this masked problem, possibly compounded by the generally
much larger document tables in many practices, HCN may be backing off
until they have a fix.
The other issue is that existing MD2 docs have to be exported to the
Redmap system in MD3, which is outside MS SQL, where the rest of the MD2
data will presumably be imported to.
How did Best Practice deal with your scanned documents from MD2?
