RPC Broker Help Home About this Version of the RPC Broker

Version 1.1 of the RPC Broker (fully patched) provides programmers with the capability to develop new VistA client/server software using the following RPC Broker Delphi components in the 32-bit environment: For a complete list of patches released with Version 1.1 of the RPC Broker, please refer to the Patch Module on FORUM or visit the ISS Released Patches Web site [here] To develop VistA applications in a 32-bit environment you must have Delphi V. 2.0 or greater. This version of the RPC Broker does not allow you to develop new applications in Delphi V. 1.0 (16-bit environment). However, the RPC Broker routines on the VistA M Server will continue to support VistA applications previously developed in the 16-bit environment. The default installation of the RPC Broker creates a separate Broker Development Kit (BDK) directory (i.e., BDK32) that contains the required RPC Broker files for development.

'''NOTICE: The Office of Information (OI) will support the Broker Development Kit running in the currently offered version of Delphi and the immediately previous version of Delphi. This level of support became effective 6/12/2000.

Sites may continue to use outdated versions of the RPC Broker Development Kit but do so with the understanding that support will not be available and that continued use of outdated versions will not afford features that may be essential to effective client/server operations in the VistA environment. An archive of old (no longer supported) Broker Development Kits will be maintained [here]'''
