Run Document Queue

If Document Queue is running, the Stop button is enabled, and the message, Running, appears. To turn Document Queue on, you can select Start. Document Queue starts and begins processing documents (after a short delay). Document Queue continues running until it is stopped. Note: You may want to keep the Document Queue running for an extended period of time. If no other instances of the application are running, documents remain in the queue until at least one instance of the document queue is started for the selected database. To turn Document Queue off, you can select Stop. Parent topic: Offline Generation of Patient Documents

Document Queue Requirements

To use Document Queue, you must have enabled the TX Text Control by run the TX Text document conversion. Note: NextGen Healthcare does not recommend offline document generation through VMware®. Document Queue uses basically the same software as real-time document generation and has similar requirements to NextGen® Enterprise EHR. CPU, memory, operating system: Same requirements as NextGen® Enterprise EHR. Database connectivity: Basically the same requirements as NextGen® Enterprise EHR with the following exception: If the database connection is lost and then restored, Document Queue should begin processing documents again once the connection is restored. This differs from NextGen® Enterprise EHR, which must be shut down and restarted if the connection is lost. Document Queue must run on the windows desktop as a user, the same as NextGen® Enterprise EHR. Document Queue must be shut down and restarted if universal preferences are changed, the same as NextGen® Enterprise EHR. NextGen Heal
