Configuring CCD Service and Agent Options

The following parameters are used to process a Continuity of Care Documents (CCD) or Personal Health Records (PHR) request.

pool size: The number of CCD agents created during one pool to process the CCDs or PHRs.
polling intervals: The time taken in seconds to check for new requests or retry failed requests.
batchSize: The number of records fetched from the database for a single CCD request.
maxAllowedProcessAttempt: The maximum number of attempts to reprocess the failed requests.

You can configure the following settings in the NextGen.Pxp.CcdaService.exe.config file.

polling intervals: The default value is 10.
maxAllowedProcessAttempt: The default value is 5.
pool size: The default value for:
- PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest is 4
- PxpEncounterCcdaRequest is 8
- PxpManualCcdaRequest is 2
- PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest is 2
- PxpMsuCcdaRequest is 2.

Note: NextGen Healthcare recommends to use the default values for the best performance.

You can find the NextGen.Pxp.CcdaService.exe.config file in the C:\NextGen\Services\AWSVPQADB02.consolidated_testing.NextGenPatientPortalCCDService location.

Note: The folder name in the Services folder is a combination of the system name and database name. For example, if your system name is AWSVPQADB02 and the database name is consolidated_testing, the folder name is AWSVPQADB02.consolidated_testing.NextGenPatientPortalCCDService.

After you install NextGen Patient Portal CCD Service using NextGen Service Manager Console, the configuration files for generating various types of Personal Health Records are generated in the Default folder. The default folder location is also C:\NextGen\Services\AWSVPQADB02.consolidated_testing.NextGenPatientPortalCCDService.

To delete the agents and agent configurations, enter the following query:

delete from configuration_options where instance_name IN ('PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest','PxpEncounterCcdaRequest','PxpManualCcdaRequest','PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest',PxpMsuCcdaRequest')and [app_name] = 'Rosetta Interface Engine'

delete from intrf_interface_ids where interface_name IN ('PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest',PxpEncounterCcdaRequest',PxpManualCcdaRequest','PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest',PxpMsuCcdaRequest')

delete from intrf_subscriptions where agent_name IN ('PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest','PxpEncounterCcdaRequest','PxpManualCcdaRequest','PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest','PxpMsuCcdaRequest')

Based on the poolsize, agents are created for each type of CCD or PHR request. By default 18 agents are created.

If pool size is 4 for the CCDs or PHRs, the following four agents are created for each request type:

PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest0, PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest1, PxpDateFilterCcdaReques2, PxpDateFilterCcdaRequest3.
PxpEncounterCcdaRequest0, PxpEncounterCcdaRequest1, PxpEncounterCcdaRequest2, PxpEncounterCcdaRequest3.
PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest0, PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest1, PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest2, PxpLongitudinalCcdaRequest3.
PxpManualCcdaRequest0, PxpManualCcdaRequest1, PxpManualCcdaRequest2, PxpManualCcdaRequest3.
PxpMsuCcdaRequest0, PxpMsuCcdaRequest1, PxpMsuCcdaRequest2, PxpMsuCcdaRequest3.

Here, 20 agents are created. The number of agents created is 5*pool size..
