Step 2: Set Database Properties for Hivedata Tables
As stated earlier each i2b2 database schema has a corresponding directory that contains the data files for installing the data. Each of these directories has a file called db.properties and it needs to be updated with your environment variables.
Steps for setting database properties
Assumptions:
- You are logged into the command line application for your environment. (Linux: Terminal or Shell and Windows: Command Prompt)
- You have already changed your working directory to the one that is appropriate for this installation.
1. At the command prompt type the following:
Linux Command
open db.properties
Windows Command
db.properties
2. The db.properties file will open. Set the following properties for the DBMS at your site:
Important
When setting the database properties make sure you set the user to i2b2hive. Projects are not assigned to Hivedata which is why the db.project property is not in the hive's db.properties file.
Database Properties File
Oracle Database
db.type=oracle
db.username=i2b2hive
db.password=demouser
db.server=LocationOfYourDatabase:1521:xe
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@LocationOfYourDatabase:1521:xe
PostgreSQL Database
db.type=postgresql
db.username=i2b2hive
db.password=demouser
db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:postgresql://LocationOfYourDatabase/i2b2?searchpath=i2b2hive
SQL Server Database
db.type=sqlserver
db.username=i2b2hive
db.password=demouser
db.driver=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
db.url=jdbc:sqlserver://LocationOfYourDatabase:1433;database=demo
3. Save the changes and close the file.
Tip
To save yourself steps, DO NOT close your Command Prompt window as you will be continuing to use it throughout the remainder of the installation.
