"Derived" displayed multiple times in Origin / Source / Method / Comment column in define.xml

Repeats of Origin in ValueLevel entries

Hi,

I've also found this problem.

I took a look at the xml file and it appears that the ItemOID is based on the where clause definition, which means that all origins for a given where clause are repeated within each item that uses that where clause.

I don't think a user can avoid this without editing the outputted define.xml, but if the next update of P21 could base ItemOID on something more than the where clause, I think this would no longer be an issue.

If anyone has found a way around this, I'd be very keen to hear it.

Thanks,

Matt.

ItemOID is based on the where clause definition

Item-OIDs and WhereClause-OIDs should be independent of each other for reasons of reusability.
Simple example: SYSBP and DIABP normally have the same properties and thus share the same WhereClause.
Sophia, Matt, if you contact me I can show you how I found a way around this. It is hard to explain here, but I can show you.

Hello, I have posted on a similar subject under https://www.pinnacle21.com/forum/pinnacle21-community-30-duplicate-itemoid-issue
OIDs of ItemDef for VLM where computed well under v2.2.0 but are problematic with v3.0.0.

I have unsuccessfully tried to find a workaround for 2 hours - but cannot find how to tweak the Excel file to avoid the problem.
I would be interested to know if there is a workaround.

Thanks,
Cedric

Hi Jozef, 

Thanks for your reply. I would like to know how to work around. But I don't know how to contact you other than here.

Hi Sophia,
If you Google for "Jozef Aerts" and "XML4Pharma", you will easily find my e-mail address.
I am not allowed to provide it here.
