Regional Server
The CCMDB.accdb and our sent data are located on the Regional Server
- \\ad.wrha.mb.ca\wrha\REGION\Shared\ICU_DATA_COLLECTION
There is a shortcut on all laptop desktops called "Regional Server" - please leave it called so all laptops are the same and covering collectors know what to look for.
If you still have the old "Regional Server" shortcut please delete it.
Troubleshooting Regional Server
If you can't access the regional server, ie the shortcut on your desktop doesnt' get you there, then:
1 - Reboot
- If you can't access the regional server, the first thing to try is to re-boot.
- The most common reason not to be able to access the regional server is something going wrong during the login process. Usually a re-boot will fix this.
2 - Call the eHealth ServiceDesk
- The most common reason not to be able to access the regional server is something going wrong during the login process. Usually a re-boot will fix this.
- If a PC reboot does not fix your access to the regional server, call the eHealth ServiceDesk. It could be either a problem with the server itself or with the network connection to the server (the latter is common at Concordia). CCMDB IT Support cannot fix this, the problem will be fixed fastest if you call eHealth ServiceDesk.
- tell the helpdesk that "this is not a mapping issue because we access the server using the UNC name"
- if the server is running fine, and the network connection of your location to the rest of the WRHA is up, then the problem might be with the way your account is set up; the help desk might they want to check how access rights should be set up, refer them to the instructions to set up a Regional data collector, as written by Sandy Kroeger from eHealth.

Moving to Regional Server will discontinue using #Twister altogether, so please ensure you don't refer to Twister after this is implemented. The old regional server was hosted at StBoniface; I don't think the new one is. Migration Checklist
TwisterCCMDB staff at HSC will sometimes refer to the Regional Server as "Twister". This is because HSC used to require a "door" (a gateway) with the sign "Twister" to access the Regional Server. However, this door also leads elsewhere (which might confuse the help desk), and the door is not used from other locations (which might confuse data collectors). To avoid confusion, use the term Regional Server. The actual address was \\Twister\icu\ Server name usage prior to changing to fully qualified domain name (FQDN)The Regional Server used to be accessed as:
A lot of locations are still set up with this link. However, notably at the Vic this set-up no longer works. All new laptops will be set up with the new address, \\sbghnwfs0102.ad.wrha.mb.ca\NSSVOL1\shared\icu_Data_Collection\, which includes the domain name ".ad.wrha.mb.ca". The full address should work everywhere, but wherever there is no problem this is not an urgent thing to change. 2010-08-20 Post-PDA ArchivingI have backed up old files to CD and removed them from the Regional Server. We used to use about 2.7GB and now use about 780MB. Specifically:
