Client 216 betas

Vista doesn't have sndrec32.exe ... so you should grab one from an XP PC. Not sure if it works on vista64 though. I just reformatted the only vista64 PC here to vista32.

Try copying it to the Synapse directory.

The installation verification is very important and also stops people from trying to use the gui before everything is loaded which will cause errors.

What is the registry setting for gs under w64?

Agreed. It's annoying and unhelpful. This information should be elsewhere.

If a delay is needed, there must be many other options to perform such tasks.

Sure ... I can hide all the screens until it's ready so you won't see anything.

That'd be perfect. How about a nice Synapse logo or something ?

Synapse, a windows 32 bit application, can not access the 64 bit registries.

I will have to look at seeing if I can read the path and see if GS is installed that way.

I'd thought a nice black screen would be ideal.

Graham can you add "Neuropsychology" or "Neuropsych" or "Neuropsych/Cognitive" test to the neuro test list? It's for this test http://www.neurotrax.com/(I will be offering this to my patients soon), other cognitice assessments or formal neuropsychological tests. NCS and EMG can be combined since they are almost always done together, i.e. NCS/EMG.

This does need a fair bit of testing ... as a lot of code was changed.

Shouldn't matter. It looks in your system path for the ":\gs\" string for ghostscript and I think ":\ghostgum\" for gsview. So, if you include them in the path, it will try and locate gswin64c.exe and gsview.exe.

You don't have to use Imagemagick, Skype, Lame, or Jarnal .. just install them. Skype is quite useful for sending the odd SMS ... though I've not tried the 64 bit versions if they exist.

No, it doesn't include the database as well. As I pointed out to someone else who asked this exact question, you have to be running your database to recover your S3 files because the links are in your database!

Now, what happens if you do a database backup is that Synapse-server does the gbak thing, then uses 7zip to compress the database, and then uploads it to S3. To download it from S3 to a cloud based server is only a couple of mins. Another 15 mins to: decompress it, use gbak to restore it, and then setup the ODBC dsn. And then we are up and running on a new server.

The only S3 files you really need to restore are any images as PDFs and TIFFs should be downloaded from S3 by the Synapse client if the server reports that they are no longer present in the cache listener.

My biggest concern about remr.fdb on EC2 server is how to back it up to S3 bucket, run an IBO query on it, and then upload and replace remr.fdb on EC2 with the updated remr.fdb. There is no way I can do that currently, Graham has to do any file overwriting or deleting on the EC2 server unless I missed something. I can update the synapse EC2 server from any synapse client as usual, and use the new S3-to-server cache-listener diff/copy function, however. Also, all my Rx fax ps/pdf files from my hylafax server are automatically copied to both S3 bucket and EC2, without invoking the new S3 diff/copy function at all, which is very cool.

I'm up to 700 fax Rx's now in my my Synapse infancy. How many files can cache-listener fit before performance is degraded, do you think? Linux file system has a reputation for being very reliable and fast, even with many thousands of files..... How is Vista vs Win7 vs WinXP? Any thoughts?

Synapse doesn't use any directory utilities and accesses files directly. The file limit is4,294,967,295 files so if you get close to that limit, I'll work on a hashing algorithm to distribute the files over a second directory.

Well, I already provide the facility to download the remr.fdb anytime you wish to do so. So, the only problem is if you want to update something and then upload the new remr.fdb.

And yes, that would require my intervention. It's possible that I could provide a way for this to be scripted .. and then the only thing that has to be done is to switch the odbc DSN to the new remr.fdb. And I guess that could be scripted as well .. I presume it's just a registry change.

Now if I had phpmyadmin .. ie. used php and mysql, it would be okay, but I don't use php and I don't use mysql!
