The two interfaces highlighted above are for lab orders and results. Yours may be named something slightly different. In the screenshot, OpenVista Orders is the orders interface and OpenVista Results is the results interface. If they say Connecting instead of On then they are down and need to be restarted. Sometimes even when they say On, you may see numbers in the InQ (orders) or SendQ (results) columns that do not clear, indicating that the interface does need to be restarted. If you see this happen, click on the interface with numbers accumulating in the InQ or SendQ columns and click Stop Selected Connections. Once the interface is stopped, click Start Selected Connections and then you should see it go to a Connecting state.
If there are “multiple” tasks in Taskman, they will need to be cleaned up

A list of tasks will display and you should look for any tasks that have LAB INTERFACE2 (orders) or LAB INTERFACER (results). Take note of the task number before the colon and the Job # associated with any of these as you press enter through the list. There should only be two Lab Interface jobs running and they will look like these:

Which tasks did you forcibly exit (?T for list): <– This is where you would type the task number you want to remove. If it is the orders interface that is a problem then you would type the number of each LAB INTERFACE2 task or for results you would type the number of each LAB INTERFACER task and press enter.
It should say it successfully removed the task. If not, you will need to kill the job first using the Cache portal or by using the D ^JOBEXAM command at the Programmer prompt after using the ZN “%SYS” command (where the PID is the job number you wrote down above).
