API Request: Version Number of Open Dental
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2022 5:10 am
Hi,
my request it twofold.
Situation: We're setting up a new office for a single provider. There are already 3 on-site computers (frontdesk/x-ray and server/3d-scanning), one off-site computer for backup verification and two portable laptops in place - in total 6 computers and counting. Number 7 would soon be in the doctors office if we cannot avoid it
and number 8 could be a separate server. I am currently customizing the OD setup using the latest stable release (21.4 at the time of writing). I would like to able to test the newest beta using a secondary OD installation or the public Dentist Office API setup. However, it seems that the current public Dentist Office is running an earlier version of OD (e.g. 21.3).
Questions:
- Is it possible to run a 2nd server for testing purpose (production on 21.4, testing on 22.1) on the same computer if on support? This is to avoid to purchase another license and/or to run another computer for testing purpose that could possibly the number 9 computer for a single provider. Is it possible at all to run two different versions of OD for a single provider office?
- Is there an API to provide the version number of the server I am currently talking to (here: public OD Dentist Office server)? If not, can we have such an API?
