We have all different setups and configs for the different clients that we
have connecting to our farm. First, make sure if you are running Meditech
Magic not Meditech Client/Server, that you are using the Meditech Remote
Workstation version 3.24a client and not just 3.24. Version 3.24 will not
pass through your client name in Meditech correctly on a terminal server if
it is defined in Meditech already.
The big thing to remember when talking about how Meditech "see's" the device
name for any client is that if you define that client device name in
Meditech or if it is already defined, than regardless of how that client
gets to meditech on the Citrix server (full published desktop/Meditech as a
single published app/NFuse/etc...) the device name will show as it is
defined in meditech (ie radpc125.1). So generally when setting up Thin
Clients on our network we will define the device name in Meditech so it
would show up as it's own device name. However, we also have a large remote
user community comprised of mostly different physician offices that connect
via NFuse and SSL. With these types of clients, there is no possible way to
have all their device names defined in meditech obviously. So when these
users connect they will grab a servername.1 or servername.2 like you had
mentioned in your last email. To make this work, when you first build your
citrix server(s) install meditech and then immediately define the server in
meditech with a large number 50,100, or however many devices available that
you think you will need (we do 50)
Also in general the meditech executable itself (t.exe) has not proved to be
very leaky memory-wise while running on a Citrix server. However, when you
tie in Windows-based programs that run as a counterpart to meditech, or are
actually launched from within meditech, these apps will need to sit on your
citrix servers as well, and many of these are questionable. I know the one
application that we use for Patient Care Documentation has proven to be
(thanks to TScale) a very leaky app that needs much virtual memory
optimization, so watch out for those type of applications.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions...
Best of luck to you!

Right now we're at the beginning stages of the project, I have a test
farm up and running on a couple old HP servers, but do have a Blade
Center on order for the first phase of the production farm.
How did you deploy to the thin clients and PCs that are in-house, PNA,
ICA Web, JAVA?
What is the "look and feel" for the users, web based, icons on the
desktop, full remote desktop?
On the thin clients what does Meditech consider it's terminal name?
What about home users coming in VIA Nfuse, do they get a term name of
<servername>.1, <servername>.2, etc..?
Like I said, I'm at the start of it and could certainly use and details
you guys want to offer!!
Thanks,
George

Yup, we have been running Meditech Magic on Citrix MF XP for around 2
1/2 years now. We have 6 Citrix servers, around 250 thin clients, and
two Nfuse servers with CSG utilizing a hardware load balancer from F5. =20

Is there anyone out there in a Hospital that is running Meditech or
Cerner via Citrix?
