Are you talking about VistA on GT.M or Cache (and I would presume Windows vs. Linux for the latter).
With GT.M, setting up a VistA configuration on one machine and moving it another would be operationally trivial (you would need to presumably rename the second machine). That's how I create the OpenVistA SemiVivA releases. It takes a few minutes and a few shell commands, but that's all. Taking a database + routines snapshot of a live (i.e., operational) VistA machine (which I don't do) would also be pretty straightforward. -- Bhaskar On Mon, 2005-09-12 at 15:08 -0500, Dr. Schrom wrote: > If the release of VOE is 'on hold' (like Kevin's thought about big > money > from private EMR vendors), I guess I'm going back to work on > installing > FOIA VistA.
