Important Items to Note

INSTALLATION IN SQL CLUSTERED ENVIRONMENTS: This only pertains to users who are installing a database hosted by a named instance of SQL (or a SQL Cluster environment). In order to install the 6.3.0 database to a named instance of SQL simply run the install from a command line. On the SQL Server where the e-MDs database is hosted: click: Start>> Run (the Run window displays). In the Run Window, browse to the location where you have stored the 6.3.0 e-MDs installation files. (Example: locate the TopsDataDb folder and select Setup.exe). Before running this file, add a space plus the characters -a [ \Setup.exe a ] after the last quote in the Run window. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\yourservername.yourdomainname\Desktop\TopsDataDb\Setup.exe a Note: During the installation process you will receive an additional screen that will prompts you to provide the changed SQL instance name and a database name. For more assistance contact the e-MDs IT Support Team. Technical assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7am to 7pm CST. Call (800) 565-5564, or if you are located in Central Texas, call (512) 250-3929. After completing installation of SQL 2008 Server and 6.3.0 e-MDs Solution Series applications, you must check the e-MDs Support Center (www.e-MDs.com >> Support >> Customer Support Portal) for any available 6.3.0 post upgrade scripts, hotfixes, or patches (These are updates that are made available after the primary installation version has been set on the shipping DVD). Note: If you have never accessed e-MDs Support Center, copy or enter this link into your web browser: https://supportcenteronline.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=3222 From this location, you can request an e-MDs Support Center account (needed for the download). If you have forgotten your account password, use this location to have the password sent to you. New login requests take from one to two business days for e-MDS to set up. Note: If you are installing the e-MDs 6.3.0 FaxServer application, follow the FaxServer 6.3.0 Installation Guide included in the documentation folder contained on your e-MDs 6.3.0 Solution Series installation DVD. Installation Tip: To speed the client installation, consider sharing your DVDROM drive over the network so it can be accessed from the workstations needing to be updated. In addition, you can also copy the contents of the e-MDs 6.3.0 DVD to a folder that is shared on your network to be accessed by all workstations needing to be installed. A shared folder will make it easier to install the e-MDs Solution Series applications to each workstation because it allows centralized access to installation files. This also negates the need to burn a DVD and walk it around to each workstation in your facility, also, please note that many workstations are not equipped with DVDROM drives. More than one person can also work on updating workstations at the same time.
Database Information
Solution Series 6.3.0 can run successfully under either SQL version 2005 or SQL version 2008 databases. Note that these installation instructions only describe steps for installing SQL 2008. This software release will not function correctly with any version prior to SQL version 2005. SQL version 2008 should be installed using the Mixed Mode option. Be aware that Solution Series 6.3.0 requires creation of two SQL databases. They are named TopsData and TopsFDB.
Pre- and Post-Installation Steps

1. It is imperative that all items on the Pre-Installation Checklist for e-MDs Solution Series have been completed before beginning the installation steps. Failure to do so can cause installation problems. This in turn can significantly impact your practices productivity as well as result in substantial IT consulting costs to remedy the error! Once you have completed the e-MDs installation, it is CRITICAL to the success of the installation to 6.3.0 that you also run all pertinent post 6.3.0 Solution Series upgrade scripts and updates (see: Section VIII: e-MDs 6.3.0 Solution Series PostInstallation Tasks for specifics). Failure to implement these additional updates will likely result in lost productivity and unexpected system behavior.

Ensuring Database Security

Important Security Statement From e-MDs: e-MDs recommends clinics have a strong sa (SQL Systems Administrator) password in place and that you, your clinic, and your Certified IT Professional follow standard IT best practices. e-MDs has observed that some of our customers do not have adequate security measures in place to resist increasingly sophisticated hacker attacks. Hackers can cause significant disruption to your business. As technology has become more sophisticated, so have these attacks. Please consult with your IT professional to ensure that your system is secured. Important: Best IT practices suggest, and e-MDs recommends, clinics have a Certified IT Professional verify that the clinic network infrastructure is properly implemented. This includes Closing your security device(s) to ANY non essential traffic (i.e. port 1433). Making certain virus protection is in installed and updated regularly Ensuring Spyware protection is in place and up-to-date. Verifying the clinic has published policies on acceptable computer usage, and these policies have been clearly communicated to all staff. All users create and maintain strong passwords for their log in.

Pre-Installation Checklist for e-MDs Solution Series 6.3.0

All tasks on this checklist must be completed prior to beginning the e-MDs Installation! Step-by-step installation instructions are provided for the purpose of installing the e-MDs Solution Series 6.3.0 applications as well as SQL 2008 Server. This documentation contains clear and easy to understand directions, including screen-shots, to guide users through the installation process. It is the sole responsibility of the clinic and the clinic's Certified IT Professional to install the eMDs database and applications, as well as to apply any ensuing patches, hotfixes, or updates. Installation assistance for the e-MDs 6.3.0 Solution Series suite of applications can be scheduled by appointment with the e-MDs IT Services Team. The team can provide guidance for resolving installation questions. This service is available for $125 per hour (minimum one hour billing) and must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
Completed Task Description Verify installation of an appropriate Operating System that is compatible with running Solution Series 6.3.0. Refer to the article: What is new in 6.3.0? When will 6.3.0 ship to my office? Where are the 6.3.0 Release Notes? Where are the 6.3.0 User Guides? located on the e-MDs Support Center site ( www.e-mds.com ) . Confirm you have the SQL 2008 Installation DVD.
Check that you have obtained the latest Service Packs for SQL 2008. Currently e-MDs recommends SQL 2008 SP1 Check that you have obtained and installed the latest Service Packs for Windows. Currently e-MDs recommends Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2. Confirm you have access (i.e.: a login and password) to e-MDs Support Center (www.e-MDs.com > Support > Customer Support Portal). Make sure you have temporarily disabled (or turned off) real-time antivirus protection before beginning the installation procedure. Real-time antivirus protection, such as Norton Antivirus, can interfere with proper installation of e-MDs Solution Series or component such as Fax Server. Do not re-enable the real-time antivirus protection until the installation is complete. You have obtained a copy of the e-MDs Solution Series 6.3.0 installation DVD. Note: A shared folder on the network will make it easier to install on your workstations because it allows centralized access to update scripts for all workstations. In addition, share the DVDROM drive and access it from each workstation over the network. Do not run the database install from a shared network path. This must be installed locally, otherwise the install will fail. You have downloaded (from e-MDs Support Center) the post upgrade scripts and executables to apply to your SQL server. (See Section VIII:: e-MDs 6.3.0 Solution Series Post-Installation Tasks for specifics.) You have verified your server has at least 10 GB of free space (where the SQL databases reside) needed to run the 6.3.0 installation program. You have verified that all users are logged out of all e-MDs applications (if previously installed). NOTE: e-MDs strongly recommends making the server unavailable during the installation to minimize the possibility a workstation remains logged in, or you have staff remotely accessing the system. Section IV includes instructions on making the server unavailable once it is loaded.
Important: Always log in to the server or workstation with full Windows Administrator privileges when running this installation, failure to do so will result in files being installed to the wrong directories or not being deleted/overwritten when they should be. This will cause access violations and other unexpected system behavior. Your system administrator or IT consultant should be able to provide you with the correct Windows logins.

Section VIII: e-MDs 6.3.0 Solution Series Post-Installation Tasks
Important Note
After completing the 6.3.0 installation, you MUST run all post-update scripts and updates. Failure to do so will most likely result in unstable system behavior and lost clinic productivity.
NOTE: All users must remain out of the e-MDs system while completing these Post-Installation tasks to ensure that no one
accesses the SQL Server while it is being updated.
1. Perform Server Tasks

Perform the following tasks to your server: Reboot the SQL Server. Back up the databases. Once rebooted, DOWNLOAD AND RUN the most current Consolidated Script for Solution Series 6.3.0. Access the Knowledge Base article Where can I find the 6.3.0 Consolidated Script? on the e-MDs Support Center: www.eMDs.com. Click on the Knowledge Base link on the home page, and then click on the article under e-MDs Scripts. Log into e-MDs Support Center and ensure that all currently available e-MDs database updates (items such as ICD, RVU, CPT, HCPC, CCI, Drug updates, most current 6.3.0 Consolidated script, etc) have been applied. Note: To verify that your e-MDs database content is as up to date as possible a. Log into the e-MDs Support Center (www.e-MDs.com). b. Click the Latest Updates link on the home page to view available updates for e-MDs Solution Series version 6.3.0. c. Download/Run any updates published since 05/22/2009.
