$$VPID^XUPS(): Get VPID Using IEN in File #200

Reference Type: Supported, Category: Common Services, ICR#: 4574

Description

The $$VPID^XUPS extrinsic function accepts the internal entry number (IEN)/DUZ of an entry in the NEW PERSON (#200) file and returns the VA Person ID (VPID) for the selected user.

NOTE: This API was released with Kernel Patch XU*8.0*309.

CAUTION: VPID has not been fully implemented in the VA. VPID was the user identifier within the canceled Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO) project. The current Identity and Access Management (IAM) 2-factor authentication (2FA) project uses Security ID (SecID) as the unique identifier. VPID APIs and fields will be deprecated in a future Kernel patch. Developers are encouraged to remove all references to these APIs in their code.
