Adding and Removing SYSTOC on a Workstation

Adding SYSTOC to a Workstation

You can set up SYSTOC on workstations in one of the following ways:

Copy the SYSTOC shared folder > Client Install > LaunchSystoc.exe and SYSTOC.exe to the workstation to run Systoc only
Copy the SYSTOC shared folder > Client Install > SYSTOC.exe to the workstation to run SYSTOC with the program menu

Evaluate your user and workstation environment to decide the best method for your organization. You may use a mix of methods depending on the workstation.

Consideration	Copy the LaunchSystoc.exe and SYSTOC.exe	Copy the SYSTOC.exe
What happens when I launch...	The SYSTOC application opens.	A menu opens and users can select one of the four programs in the menu. Selecting Remember my choice stops the menu from opening the next time SYSTOC is launched.
Users who benefit	Non-administrative staff who only need access to the SYSTOC application	SYSTOC administrative users who need access to the choices in the program menu* Workstations that reside in remote locations if SYSTOC runs slowly when using the shortcut method
Upgrade effect when a minor SYSTOC version is released that does not change the version number, such as going from 7.50 to a later version of 7.50.	The existing executable files work; no additional effort.	The SYSTOC.exe must be copied to the workstation.
Upgrade effect when a SYSTOC version is released that changes the version number, such as going from 7.50 to 7.51 or 7.60.	The executable files must be copied from the Client Install folder after the upgrade.	The SYSTOC.exe must be copied to the workstation.
		*You can manually create a desktop shortcut to the Client Install\SYSTOC.exe. This eliminates copying the SYSTOC.exe for each upgrade. This does not alleviate slow SYSTOC performance for users in remote locations. Copy the executable to improve the speed.

SYSTOC requires a path to the Client Install folder. You can provide this in one of two ways:

Preferred Method: apply a registry key to store the path
Alternate Method: require users to browse to and select the systoc.ini file from the Client Install folder.

Preferred method: apply a registry key:

Create the following registry key on the superuser's workstation:
```
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\SYSTOC 7.52\Install
```
Create a string value in the Install key named Source and assign the value data the path to your SYSTOC Share\Client Install folder. For example, O:\Client InstallThe final key should look similar to the following:
Double-click the LaunchSystoc.exe. SYSTOC opens and presents the logon screen.

Alternate method: browse to the systoc.ini:

Double-click the LaunchSystoc.exe. The program immediately attempts to locate the SYSTOC.ini file.
Browse to the Client Install folder in the SYSTOC shared folder
Select the SYSTOC.ini file and click Open. SYSTOC opens and presents the logon screen.

Removing SYSTOC from a Workstation

To remove SYSTOC from a workstation:

Run Remove.Systoc.exe from the Client Install folder. This removes the Systoc sandbox folder and a message is displayed when the folder and its contents are removed successfully. Read About the SYSTOC Sandbox for more information.
Manually delete the LaunchSystoc.exe or SYSTOC.exe, depending on the method used to run SYSTOC on the workstation.

Removing Other SYSTOC Programs from a Workstation

The HL7 Import, HL7 Export, and Reconciliation Fix programs are normally run by launching the executable (or a shortcut to the executable) that was previously downloaded. Each of these programs also creates folders in the SYSTOC sandbox. To remove them from a workstation:

Open the shortcut's Properties and modify the Target by adding the following argument to the end: -Remove, save, and run the modified shortcut. If a shortcut is not used, either run the program with the -Remove argument or create a shortcut for the purpose. This removes the program's sandbox and a message is displayed when it is removed successfully.
Manually delete the program's shortcut. Delete the executable if it resides on the workstation. Do not delete it if it resides in the Client Install folder.
