Henry, This is an HIS specific question which is kind
of outside my “pay grade,” but I’ve heard that STAR has
issues like this particularly in supporting multi-session printers. One
possible simple solution that might work is to use virtual machines on the same
PC. If STAR believes that these machines have separate IP addresses then it
may allow multiple sessions. It’s certainly worth a try to avoid
having to purchase a number of separate PC’s. Do any STAR users out there have anything
to add? Rich McNeil 866 653 5105 www.bostonworkstation.com From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a
problem and I'm wondering if anyone out there has faced this, and if so, what
your response was. We run a number of BWS scripts against our McKesson STAR
system. Now, as far as I have been able to determine, STAR will not allow
multiple connections to the same session to run concurrently - a single session
ties up the port for that IP (and they've recently implemented an enhancement
that prevents using dynamic ports). This means that we're running into a
problem with not having enough time in each day to run all of the scripts that
we want to run (some of these take 3-6 hours each). Clearly we can get more
machines to run these on, but that means spending money, both for the PCs and
for the runtime licenses of the software. I was wondering if someone had come
upon another way to handle this. Perhaps some way to virtualize the STAR
sessions, or run in multiple "spaces" or something. I don't know,
because my expertise doesn't run to that side of things, but I thought I'd
throw it out there and see what comes back. |
