Update Database Lookup tables

Each i2b2 cell has a DB_LOOKUP table that is part of the i2b2 hive. An i2b2 cell looks to its corresponding DB_LOOKUP table to find the database or schema for a particular project. These tables were created when you installed the hivedata tables as part of the i2b2 classic installation.

In the 1.7.07 release of the i2b2 software, we introduced the ability to easily manage your DB_LOOKUP tables from within the i2b2 Admin Module. The steps shown below will walk you through the process of adding a new CRC_DB_LOOKUP, ONT_DB_LOOKUP, and WORK_DB_LOOKUP to point to your CDM database schema and omop project.

Assumptions:

• The DB_LOOKUP tables are installed.
• The i2b2 Administration Module is installed on your web server and configured correctly.
• Your i2b2 user has administrative privileges and you are able to log into the i2b2 Admin Module.
