B Optility™ Data Converter
This chapter explains how to migrate your data from an older DOS version of NMM, CPM, or NPM to
Optility using the Optility™ Data Converter. The process consists of cleaning your existing database,
converting the data, and then importing it into Optility. When performing this procedure, it is important to
keep the following in mind.
• You must clean your existing database using the CheckDB utility before you convert your data. For
more information on the CheckDB utility, see ”CheckDB Utility” on page 668.
• The conversion process copies the data from your old system, thereby leaving the original data in
tact.
• The conversion is not backward compatible.
• After the conversion has been performed, the data on the old system will work for only one more
week.
The following instructions explain how to convert your data.
NOTE: It is important to verify that data is being correctly converted. After each step, check your
application to make sure the data has been copied over. For example, after the Master files have been
copied over, view the records in the new application.

Redoing a Conversion
You can redo parts of a conversion during a conversion. This saves the time of starting the conversion
from the beginning. For example, if you already converted the master data and discovered that you
needed to do the conversion again. You can redo the conversion of the master data. However, once you
complete a conversion, you cannot redo any parts of the previous conversion. You must start a new
conversion.

CheckDB Utility
The dBaseIII file structure used in the NMM/CPM CA-Clipper program can contain low level corruption
due to power problems, disk read errors, or a number of other related operational issues related to the
lack of a controlled computing environment. Conversion of these files into the Optility database
structure can result in data processing errors when unexpected characters or corrupted data is
encountered in the fields. The CheckDB utility cleans these errors from your database.
The date range of the Optility birth date field and other general date fields is less extensive than the
range supported by the NMM/CPM. Date fields outside the accepted range must be blanked out and
logged to an error file prior to attempted conversion by Optility.
The Optility design for reference of the patient demographics assumes that the patient number exists
and is a unique key referencing the patient name and date of birth. While this is generally true when
running in the mode for mandatory patient number input, the optional demographics mode and
non-required demographics mode will not convert properly. The link to the patient name is lost during
conversion. As this represents a problem for review of historical records, additional routines were added
to the cleanup program to attempt to correct the problem.
CheckDB Utility Requirements
To run the CheckDB utility on your database ensure the following:
• Do not run the CheckDB utility on the hard drive of your system. Use a separate media, such as a
flash drive or CD/DVD.
• The database file that you are converting must be renamed to ZIPBACK.ZIP.
• The ZIPBACK.ZIP, CheckDB.exe, PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE, and PKZIPFIX.EXE files are
located on the same directory.

T
Thyroid I-131 Investigational Level (uCi)
Enter the activity, in uCi's, for the I-131 bioassay program that alerts the user to potential problems. In
most cases the investigative levels are set lower than the reporting levels.
Thyroid I-131 Report Level (uCi)
Enter the action level, in uCi's, for the I-131 thyroid bioassay program. When this level is reached, it

Translate Vendor in Barcodes (999 - 001)
Used to read non-Optility™ type codes received in to inventory. The first code (999) is the
Optility™-type code and the second code (001) is the non-Optility™ type code. For example, I receive
drugs from vendor 085 which is a Cardinal pharmacy. I have vendor 085 defined as vendor 025 in
Optility™. I must enter 025 to 085 in the Translate Vendor in Barcodes (999 - 001) box. This allows all
drugs received from vendor 085 to be associated to vendor 025 in Optility™. You can setup 3 different
vendor translations.
