The Menu "System Setup => Hive Tasks" contains various functions that are called automatically by i2b2 Wizard. If something goes wrong, you may want to call them on your own. E.g. the functions to remove and reload I2B2PM and I2B2HIVE come in handy if you encounter database issues and need to reinstall both schemas. Image Added

Updating the server IP address

In order to allow the i2b2 Workbenches to communicate with the i2b2 webservices, the IP addresse must be written to the table PM_CELL_DATA in I2B2PM. This can be done automatically by selecting "System Setup => Hive Tasks => Update Hive-IP" from the main menu. The figure below shows the screen with the network interface selection.

The next figure below explains the background of the networking configuration. In a default VirtualBox Linux installation, there are two network interfaces: the loop-only interface that is used internally by the Linux system and the NAT interface that connects to the internet. However, in order to allow the i2b2 Workbench and Webclient (which is, in fact, running on the physical host computer, not on the server) to connect to the i2b2 server, a host-only network interface has to be created.

Therefore, if you are using VirtualBox, select the interface with the 192.168.56.***-IP by pressing the space bar. This is the "Host-Only-Adapter". An alternative is to select the loop-only interface (127.0.0.1). In this case, however, the server can only be accessed from within the server itself. This means that you have to run the Workbench inside the VM or open the webclient with a browser running inside the VM.
