FORM(S)/BLOCK(S):GLOBAL MAP DATA DICTIONARY #9.9 -- PATCH MONITOR FILE 6/27/25 PAGE 1 STORED IN ^XPD(9.9, (5670 ENTRIES) SITE: WWW.BMIRWIN.COM UCI: VISTA,VISTA (VERSION 7.3) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file contains VistA patch information which is stored by a server option when a patch arrives to G.PATCHES at a site. The server extracts certain information and stores it here. A night-time program will then check the file, match it against the install file. If the current date is past the compliance date for patch installation (typically 30 days for regular patches, three days for emergency patches) it will do one of two things: 1. If the patch has been installed since last run and the parameter file is set in field 3 to delete installed patches, it will delete the entry from this file, regardless of the number of days in field 2. If the parameter file is set to leave patches, it is not deleted. 2. If the patch has NOT been installed, its information will be saved and reported via a mail message to a group. The person(s) who are in charge of monitoring patches at the site or perhaps for the VISN will be responsible for following up on delinquent patches.
