NotesEquipment and information for upgrading existing IMPAX 5.2 or 5.3 stations
As upgrading IMPAX AS300 servers to IMPAX 6.5.3 necessitates forklift upgrades,
the new or restaged servers should be prepared accordingly.
If having to upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, you must obtain the SQL Server
2008 R2 software and service pack. (SQL Server 2008 R2 is not distributed with
IMPAX but is available from the Agfa Parts Center.)
If switching to Oracle for Windows, contact Agfa Professional Services for assistance.
This guide does not document how to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle.
Which standard time server or source to synchronize the server clock against.
Whether using domain authentication.
Whether worklists have been configured on the training server.
Whether report data has been moved to the training server.
Fully qualified domain name of the main Application Server.
Whether any WEB1000 connections need to be managed.
Whether an Audit Record Repository is being added to the cluster.
Running the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock
tool
(Topic number: 47379)
2.
Before it can be run, the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool must be installed and configured.
The Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock (CCDI) tool synchronizes both the dictation status and the
claim status of studies between the previous version of IMPAX and IMPAX 6.5.3, when these are
running in parallel—such as may happen when using a training server, when using a traveling server,
or if planning to run the upgraded IMPAX cluster alongside the previous-version IMPAX cluster
for a transition period.
Synchronization of the claim status of studies occurs only between versions of IMPAX that support
shared workflows from which radiologists can then claim ownership of studies.
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.
