Greetings,
BWS has to launch Meditech in order to connect to it.
A "trick" to allow BWS to connect at will to a running session is to have
the Meditech icon launch a "one line" script that just launches Meditech.
Here's what you need to do for 3.x
Connect "path to t.exe (optional)", stMeditech, "MyStream"
Then your script can connect at will using:
Connect "MyStream", stStream
Client Server is identical to the above except it stMeditechCS and the path
is to Vmagic.exe (or the new client exe whose name escapes me at the moment)
For NUI the process is to use:
Shell_ "c:\Bss70\MeditechNUIServer.exe Mystream c:\...t.exe"
The myStream and path to t.exe are optional
The default stream name will be MeditechNUI
So you could connect at will later using:
Connect "MeditechNUI", stStream
I've done things where I've supported allowing multiple instances of
Meditech to be launched / connected to in this manner but don't want to make
this email longer than it needs to be right now - let me know if you want
this information.
For your scripts that connect to these running instances, you want to test
to see if the connection (stream name) was available using Active - either
in command form:
If not Active("MyStream") then
Connect "",stMeditech,"MyStream"
End if
Or have a rule testing against the Not Active condition.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Thom

Subject: [Talk] UMass Meditech Magic stream issue
Hello all,
Does anyone know of a way to connect to an already active Meditech session
in order to begin using bostonworkstation to execute following functions?
Whenever I use the "Connect" code it always wants to open a new session.
Finally, I guess it would need to also "disconnect" when function is
complete.
thank you,
