This wiki covers questions regarding the OpenVistA and VistA software, the various components of that software, and configuration and installation of the same. It incorporates information from many people.
A VistA system is made up of the following components:
- Code written in the M Language, such as GT.M or Cache.
- Information stored in a M Database.
- Information stored in a VA FileMan File.
- FileMan-level control instructions in Templates:
- Input Templates for entering or editing data stored in VA FileMan Files.
- Search Templates for condition based or criteria based search
- Sort Templatess for sorting and grouping fields when output of information
- Print Templatess for printing and presenting fields
- Export Templatess for exporting values of fields to other programming systems.
- Code running in the Host Operating System, such as Microsoft Windows or Linux.
- for example: Windows Script Host scripts, bash shell scripts, tcsh shell scripts,
- for programmer mode access scripts, system boot scripts, system shutdown scripts.
- Information stored in files in the filesystem of the Host Operating System.
- simple ASCII text files
- Comma Separated Values (CSV) files for import into Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, or Open Office applications.
Configuration is the process of changing details about a VistA package.
These details are fine level controls over the behaviour of the package.
