training server, when using a traveling server (AS3000 sites), or if planning to run the upgraded

IMPAX cluster alongside the previous-version IMPAX cluster for a transition period.

Note:

Do not confuse CCDI with Dual Cluster Claim and Assign (DCCA), which allows two active

clusters of the same version (IMPAX 6.5.2 or later), running in parallel, to synchronize study

status notifications and claim and assign messages between the two clusters as though they

were one. For details, see “Understanding Dual Cluster Claim and Assign” (topic number

128193) in the IMPAX 6.5.3 Application Server Knowledge Base.

A dictation interlock already exists within a single IMPAX cluster, preventing two users from dictating

the same study. This tool extends that interlock to two IMPAX clusters: the previous version and

the new. It uses native components within IMPAX to send signals between the two systems that a

study’s dictation status has changed. During the installation and configuration, a new role and a

service called Study Status Relay are created to convey and receive the messages.

Study statuses that are synchronized are the following:

• DICTATION_STARTED

• TRAINEE_DICTATION_STARTED

• INTERPRETATION_TRANSCRIBED

• INTERPRETATION_APPROVED

• DICTATION_COMPLETED

• TRAINEE_DICTATION_COMPLETED

Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock installation prerequisites: IMPAX

5.2 or 5.3 upgrades

(Topic number: 48079)

The Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock components are placed on the IMPAX 6.5.3 Application

Server when the Business Services software is installed. You will find the components in the Tools

sub-directory; for example, in C:\Program Files\Agfa\Impax Business Services\Tools\Cross-Cluster

Dictation Interlock\Cross.Cluster.Dictation.Interlock_6.5.3.0.zip. You must extract the zip file. It

contains both the 5.2/5.3 and the 6.5.3 components.

Select a computer in the IMPAX 5.2 or 5.3 cluster to place the Cross-Cluster Dictation Tool

components on. It can be any computer running Windows, including a Client station, as long as

that station does not get shut down or restarted frequently.
