User guide

Note:
If upgrading an IMPAX 5.2 or 5.3 AS3000 server on Solaris 10, contact the national or regional
representative at Agfa HealthCare’ s Global Services for additional information and assistance.
A site running IMPAX 4.5 can migrate its user data—passwords, IDs, and most preferences—to
IMPAX 6.4. However, database data cannot be upgraded directly from IMPAX 4.5 to IMPAX 6.4. The
IMPAX 4.5 database must first be upgraded to IMPAX 5.2.5, then to IMPAX 6.4.
Gathering information and equipment2.
To perform the AS300 server upgrade and migration, gather the information and equipment needed
for migrating and upgrading the stations.

Running the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool3.
Before it can be run, the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool must be installed and configured. Refer
to “Installing the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool” in the appropriate version of the IMPAX
Pre-Migration Guide.
The Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool synchronizes the dictation status of studies between the
previous version of IMPAX and IMPAX 6.4, when these are running in parallel—such as may happen
when using a training server, when using a travelling server (AS3000 sites), or if planning to run the
upgraded IMPAX cluster alongside the previous-version IMPAX cluster for a transition period.
To run the Cross-Cluster Dictation Interlock tool
1. On the 6.4 Application Server where the Relay service is running, open a command prompt.
2. Type the following command:
net start StudyStatusRelayService
