== FIS Global GT.M ==&lt;br /&gt;
GT.M from [http://www.fisgobal.com FIS Global]:&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.fisglobal.com/products-technologyplatforms-gtm-userdocumentation documentation],&lt;br /&gt;
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/fis-gtm/files/ download]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GT.M is a MUMPS database engine that runs on a wide variety of platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unique in that GT.M, on&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.linux.org/ Linux]&lt;br /&gt;
is licensed under the&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html AGPL3],&lt;br /&gt;
which is the latest in a series of the&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ GNU License]&lt;br /&gt;
and further described in&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License wikipedia].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GT.M supports database replication and is very suitable for high availability&lt;br /&gt;
production use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== InterSystems Caché ==&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.intersystems.com/ InterSystems]&lt;br /&gt;
is a highly proprietary licensed implementation of MUMPS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caché is suitable for high availabilty production use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hardware ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was written by me (Gus).  It reflects my bias toward using IBM&lt;br /&gt;
hardware.  That is not to say that other vendors do not have good&lt;br /&gt;
options. My [[ldl_ibm_bias | bias]] is shown what it is, and feel&lt;br /&gt;
free to interpolate the following comments as being essentially the&lt;br /&gt;
same for non-IBM gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== IBM P/Series (PowerPC) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, IBM P/Series hardware is a proven solid option.&lt;br /&gt;
As of 2013, P/Series is still a good option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
That said, the modern IBM X/Series equipment has many of the advanced&lt;br /&gt;
features that until recently required either P/Series or Z/Series&lt;br /&gt;
machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are some key considerations that need addressing if you plan&lt;br /&gt;
to use P/Series equipment for your deployment:&lt;br /&gt;
* GT.M is not AGPL3 for AIX&lt;br /&gt;
* AIX is a licensed (costs money)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== IBM X/Series (Intel/AMD x86/x86_64) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Other Options ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There may be other options worth considering, but as of Apr 2013,&lt;br /&gt;
most of those options are either relics of the past looking for &lt;br /&gt;
current employment (e.g. IBM A/Series or Z/Series or things like&lt;br /&gt;
Itanium, etc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As future technology is revealed, then we can reconsider those options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Operating System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom line: UNIX&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several good options to consider.&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that you limit your options to Linux and IBM AIX.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, with consolidation of Sun under Oracle, and the limited&lt;br /&gt;
presence of other UNIX options (e.g. HP, et al), there plenty of options&lt;br /&gt;
just in the Linux space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are wanting a FOSS (Free Open Source Software) stack, then&lt;br /&gt;
stick with Linux.  The primary reason for this is that GT.M is only&lt;br /&gt;
AGPL3 on Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are needing more power than the &amp;quot;X86&amp;quot; family has to offer, then&lt;br /&gt;
IBM AIX is a good option, but GT.M is not freely available on that platform.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=== CentOS ===&lt;br /&gt;
For non-production systems,&lt;br /&gt;
[[http://centos.org | CentOS]]&lt;br /&gt;
is my preferred free (open source and dollars) version of Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CentOS *is* Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) without the &amp;quot;branding&amp;quot;.  It is fully&lt;br /&gt;
derived from the RHEL sources. It has the advantage of being, administratively,&lt;br /&gt;
the same as RHEL.  This means that any skills developed in CentOS are fully&lt;br /&gt;
applicable to RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Oracle Linux ===&lt;br /&gt;
I have not yet tried &lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.oracle.com/linux/ Oracle Linux]&lt;br /&gt;
in a major way, but think that it is worthy&lt;br /&gt;
of consideration for production use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like CentOS, Oracle Linux is &amp;quot;downstream&amp;quot; from RHEL, with the Red Hat branding&lt;br /&gt;
being replaced by Oracle branding.  Like CentOS, Oracle Linux also &amp;quot;follows&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
the RHEL model, so administratively, Oracle Linux is the same as CentOS and RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options that I like about Oracle Linux include the fact that you can buy support&lt;br /&gt;
for Oracle L &lt;br /&gt;

(open source and dollars) version of Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CentOS *is* Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) without the &amp;quot;branding&amp;quot;.  It is fully&lt;br /&gt;
derived from the RHEL sources. It has the advantage of being, administratively,&lt;br /&gt;
the same as RHEL.  This means that any skills developed in CentOS are fully&lt;br /&gt;
applicable to RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Oracle Linux ===&lt;br /&gt;
I have not yet tried Oracle Linux in a major way, but think that it is worthy&lt;br /&gt;
of consideration for production use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like CentOS, Oracle Linux is &amp;quot;downstream&amp;quot; from RHEL, with the Red Hat branding&lt;br /&gt;
being replaced by Oracle branding.  Like CentOS, Oracle Linux also &amp;quot;follows&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
the RHEL model, so administratively, Oracle Linux is the same as CentOS and RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Hardware ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was written by me (Gus).  It reflects my bias toward using IBM&lt;br /&gt;
hardware.  That is not to say that other vendors do not have good&lt;br /&gt;
options. My [[ldl_ibm_bias | bias]] is shown what it is, and feel&lt;br /&gt;
free to interpolate the following comments as being essentially the&lt;br /&gt;
same for non-IBM gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== IBM P/Series (PowerPC) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, IBM P/Series hardware is a proven solid option.&lt;br /&gt;
As of 2013, P/Series is still a good option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
That said, the modern IBM X/Series equipment has many of the advanced&lt;br /&gt;
features that until recently required either P/Series or Z/Series&lt;br /&gt;
machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are some key considerations that need addressing if you plan&lt;br /&gt;
to use P/Series equipment for your deployment:&lt;br /&gt;
* GT.M is not AGPL3 for AIX&lt;br /&gt;
* AIX is a licensed (costs money)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== IBM X/Series (Intel/AMD x86/x86_64) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Other Options ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There may be other options worth considering, but as of Apr 2013,&lt;br /&gt;
most of those options are either relics of the past looking for &lt;br /&gt;
current employment (e.g. IBM A/Series or Z/Series or things like&lt;br /&gt;
Itanium, etc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As future technology is revealed, then we can reconsider those options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Operating System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom line: UNIX&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several good options to consider.&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that you limit your options to Linux and IBM AIX.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, with consolidation of Sun under Oracle, and the limited&lt;br /&gt;
presence of other UNIX options (e.g. HP, et al), there plenty of options&lt;br /&gt;
just in the Linux space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are wanting a FOSS (Free Open Source Software) stack, then&lt;br /&gt;
stick with Linux.  The primary reason for this is that GT.M is only&lt;br /&gt;
AGPL3 on Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are needing more power than the &amp;quot;X86&amp;quot; family has to offer, then&lt;br /&gt;
IBM AIX is a good option, but GT.M is not freely available on that platform.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are some key considerations that need addressing if you plan&lt;br /&gt;
to use P/Series equipment for your deployment:&lt;br /&gt;
* GT.M is not AGPL3 for AIX&lt;br /&gt;
* AIX is a licensed (costs money)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== IBM X/Series (Intel/AMD x86/x86_64) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Other Options ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There may be other options worth considering, but as of Apr 2013,&lt;br /&gt;
most of those options are either relics of the past looking for &lt;br /&gt;
current employment (e.g. IBM A/Series or Z/Series or things like&lt;br /&gt;
Itanium, etc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As future technology is revealed, then we can reconsider those options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Operating System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom line: UNIX&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several good options to consider.&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that you limit your options to Linux and IBM AIX.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, with consolidation of Sun under Oracle, and the limited&lt;br /&gt;
presence of other UNIX options (e.g. HP, et al), there plenty of options&lt;br /&gt;
just in the Linux space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are wanting a FOSS (Free Open Source Software) stack, then&lt;br /&gt;
stick with Linux.  The primary reason for this is that GT.M is only&lt;br /&gt;
AGPL3 on Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are needing more power than the &amp;quot;X86&amp;quot; family has to offer, then&lt;br /&gt;
IBM AIX is a good option, but GT.M is not freely available on that platform.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=== CentOS ===&lt;br /&gt;
For non-production systems, [[http://centos.org|CentOS]] is my preferred free&lt;br /&gt;
(open source and dollars) version of Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CentOS *is* Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) without the &amp;quot;branding&amp;quot;.  It is fully&lt;br /&gt;
derived from the RHEL sources. It has the advantage of being, administratively,&lt;br /&gt;
the same as RHEL.  This means that any skills developed in CentOS are fully&lt;br /&gt;
applicable to RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Oracle Linux ===&lt;br /&gt;
I have not yet tried Oracle Linux in a major way, but think that it is worthy&lt;br /&gt;
of consideration for production use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like CentOS, Oracle Linux is &amp;quot;downstream&amp;quot; from RHEL, with the Red Hat branding&lt;br /&gt;
being replaced by Oracle branding.  Like CentOS, Oracle Linux also &amp;quot;follows&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
the RHEL model, so administratively, Oracle Linux is the same as CentOS and RHEL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options that I like about Oracle Linux include the fact that you can buy support&lt;br /&gt;
for Oracle L &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== What is VistA? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[VistA]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is a public domain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record electronic health record] programmed by federal employees working for the [http://www.va.gov US Department of Veterans Affairs] (previously the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Veterans_Affairs Veterans Administration]) over the past several decades. For more info, see [[VistA|this page]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What is RPMS? ==&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.ehr.ihs.gov/ RPMS] is a public domain electronic health record that is used by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Health_Service Indian Health Service] (IHS). Prior to the 1980s it used a different architecture from VistA, but since the 80&#039;s it has shared a large amount of its architecture with VistA. For more info, see [[RPMS|this page]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What is Vistapedia? ==&lt;br /&gt;
Vistapedia is a wiki for several varieties of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain public domain] versions of VistA and [http://www.ehr.ihs.gov/ RPMS]. Information about the integrated VistA installer called [[Astronaut_VistA|Astronaut]] is also contained within these pages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wiki covers installation, configuration, and usage of these VistA derivatives. It also serves as an introduction to the [[VistA Documentation Library]] for everyone outside the VA. In addition, current events, development advances, and other news about the flavors of VistA are posted here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wiki runs the same [http://www.mediawiki.org software] as [http://www.wikipedia.com/ Wikipedia].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Versions of VistA ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
There are several versions of VistA that are used outside of the VA. (See [[Which VistA|this page]] for some introductory information regarding aspects of the different versions.)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== VistA and the Web ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Adapting VistA to web and mobile can be done using [http://mgateway.com/ Enterprise Web Developer (EWD)]. EWD for VistA comes in the following forms:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Modifications to &#039;&#039;&#039;inetd&#039;&#039;&#039; configuration (courtesy KS BHaskar):&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To enable inetd to start automatically, &lt;br /&gt;
execute each of the following commands once.  When you reboot your &lt;br /&gt;
Toaster, inetd will start automatically: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc2.d/S20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc3.d/S20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc4.d/S20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc5.d/S20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc1.d/K20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc2.d/K20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc3.d/K20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc4.d/K20inetd &lt;br /&gt;
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/inetd /etc/rc5.d/K20inetd &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Enhancement to automatically start and stop Taskaman (courtesy KS BHaskar):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Edit the file /etc/init.d/VAVistADemo20060926 (e.g., with &amp;quot;sudo &lt;br /&gt;
beaver /etc/init.d/VAVistADemo20060926&amp;quot; which gives you a WYSIWYG GUI &lt;br /&gt;

It incorporates information from many people. We have been repeatedly vandalized by people trying to advance their google page rank, hence this is now a closed community wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
