Back in June we ran into an issue where the previous month's Medispan version did not get updated even though the expiration date did. We didn't notice it until we went to load the June KB and failed on version check. We were able to manually reset the version number and reload the KB and it resolved the issue.

This month's KB updated the Medispan version number, but not the expiration date. We couldn't re-load the KB because the version was incremented and it failed. I again manually reset the version number and reloaded the KB. The Medispan expiration date updated the second time around.

I'm wondering if any other sites have experienced similar issues with the KB's lately. I have a workaround, but would like to know if my environment is causing this or if it's an issue with KB package from GE. Feedback welcome.

might be related, from the KB release notes.

Known issues
The following are known issues and we are working to fix them as quickly as possible.
Address issues where a JBoss restart is required
SPR70364
Issue:
After installing the Knowledgebase, JBoss Windows services may need to be restarted
in order to properly reload reference data. Specific data that needs reload includes the
Medispan data used for interaction checking and Immunization custom list editing as well
as diagnosis codes used in problem search. In all cases, restart DTS after the JBoss
servers have been restarted.
Workaround:
EMR
l Single Server 9.8.x, 9.10.1 – no restart required
l Single Server 9.10.2, 9.12 – restart JBoss windows service
l Multiple JBoss servers - restart all JBoss windows services.

Pete,

We saw that in the release notes this time and restarted the Jboss services and DTS. That suggested fix didn't work in our case.

We are experiencing something similar right now as well. Our version incremented, but the date now reads: Medispan Expiration Date: Unknown or invalid

What is especially bizarre about this is we didn't see this in any of our three test environments. Maybe there was a hiccup in the install in production. Do you know where to locate this information in the database?

EDIT: I also wanted to add that this is breaking our ability to use the medication interactions, which is kind of a big deal. If we can just update the expiration date somewhere, that should fix this.

I have experienced something similar with our Test Environment, our KB Version number does not advance during the installation process. It has been this way for at least 6 months now and it only affects the Incremental KB Updates, as the Full Updates apparently do not check the previous version.

For CPS, the SQL query to see the KB version is:

select*

from SYMBOL s

where s.OBJECT='_MS_V01'

and s.NAME ='Version'

This will get you the MediSpan expiration date:

select * from ml.symbol where name like 'Exp%' and object = 'MSDI'

Has anyone found a fix for this besides restarting JBOSS? A few times a year now, our Medispan expiration date turns into "Unknown or invalid" and we have to coordinate with all of our users so they know to expect five minutes of system downtime. This, obviously, sucks, and we want a better way to fix this, or to know why this happens.
