Hello All,
I am currently working in a multispecialty clinic and we have been going through some CCC form changes. I have read about the Jobs.txt and how it can update local clients. Here is my question: we are running a Citrix environment with serveral (at least 30+) local loads of CPS. Is the jobs.txt option a good idea and if so can someone please provide an example?
I am taking over for a previous employee who knew much more about Citrix than I do and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Matt Dooley

Matt,
We run a script to pick the updated files out from a staging area and copy them out to all of our Citrix servers at night. Then we move the updated files to our Worksta staging area that we use when new Clients are installed.
We have not used the Jobs.txt for Citrix- but we do use it for our local installs.

Kat,
Thanks for the response. We have loads of local installs for the Doctors and that is where I am unsure. I know the jobs.txt file can pull these updated forms out and put them on their workstations. I am just unsure the format and such to put in the file. Curretly it is a blank text file. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
Here is an example of the jobs.txt that we were using.
So the file is placed in your Source file in your staging area.
For each file you want to send out using the jobs.txt you create a line and tell it where to copy the file and where to put it - We have named our CLINICFOLDERNAME-- to Rockwood so that line is an example of a file in our CLINICFOLDERNAME
each file has its own line and is incremented by one. You can verify that this is working by looking at the cfw.ini file and seeing what line was last run against your client.
10016,emr,\ccc,copy,ccc\CCCQE-User-Edit-CPOE-ENT-TFE.txt
10017,emr,\Rockwood,copy,Rockwood\CCCQE-User-Edit-Specialty-Definitions-TFE-1.txt

The jobs.txt for CPS 12 work different than the Jobs.txt from EMR oracle version which seems to be the one the previous user is referring.
for instance you must install the client directly from the Jboss server, if you built your own CPS installation package for deploying to client, as we did since the latest service pack didn't have a silent install, we had to dismantle the MSI and the EXE installation and made our on installation package to be able to deploy silently.
but the new location of the jobs.txt is as follow, this will be on your CPS 12 Jboss server.
C:Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\server\default\deploy\cps.war
where= (cps.war) is the name of your cps Database, for example if your cps database is named=MattDooley
the location would be
C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\server\default\deploy\Mattdooley.war
and the content you want to be copied to the workstations, need to be placed inside the following folder on your Jboss server
C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\server\default\deploy\Mattdooley.war\source
As a second method you could use PDQdeploy to manage this. Is easy and very straight forward to use.
If you need any help with PDQdeploy, let me know i will gladly supply some information as how i manage

Matt,
Here's a link ( http://bit.ly/1mgQNll ) to the jobs.txt section from CPS11's documentation "System Planning and Requirements". You can get that whole document (ver 11, 12, etc) from GE's website.
Hope that helps!

Everyone,
Thank you for your input. I was able to use this to update CCC forms on local loads and tested with several of our doctors today. Awesome!
Thank you!
