9 Adding New Source Systems to an In-production MPI

To add new source systems to an in-production MPI, perform the following:

1. Add new source systems to the SBYN_SYSTEMS database table.

   For information on how to add new source systems to the SBYN_SYSTEMS table, see Chapter 3, "Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Databases".

2. Add new source systems to the IHE_DOMAINS database table.

   Note:

   This step is applicable only for IHE Application.

   For information on how to add new source systems to the IHE_DOMAINS table, see Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Working With IHE Profiles User's Guide.

3. Update the MPI Project's update.xml file if the new source systems participate in weight-based survivor calculation while determining SBR. And, a special weight must be assigned to the new source system.

   For information on how to configure update.xml, see Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Configuration Guide.

4. Update the MPI Project's match-ext.xml file if there is some special match configuration for the new source system being added.

   For information on how to configure match-ext.xml, see Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Configuration Guide.

5. Perform one of the following:

   • If there are any changes to update.xml and match-ext.xml, regenerate the MPI Project. Then, rebuild and redeploy the MPI/IHE Project so that the project configuration changes take effect.

   • Else, restart the MPI/IHE Application.

6. Use OHMPI's Real-time Loader to load existing data records from the new source system to the MPI database.

   For information on how to use the Real-time Loader, see Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Real-time Loader User's Guide.

Note:

Any configuration changes performed on an in-production MPI Application are not retroactive. That is, existing enterprise objects are not recalculated if they do not include a new system object from the new system being added based on the new configuration. All such enterprise objects are recalculated when updates are received from any source system, subsequent to the configuration changes.
