This version of i2b2-Wizard features a SHRINE (Shared Health Research Information Network) installer that was integrated into i2b2-Wiazard as a part of the IRDT2 project. SHRINE is an add-on for i2b2 that allows running distributed queries. SHRINE basically acts as an i2b2 "proxy", which accepts incoming i2b2 queries and distributes them to other (typically external) i2b2 instances. Their results are then aggreagated by the SHRINE component and presented to the user in the SHRINE webclient, which is very similar to the i2b2 webclient, but capable of displaying the results, separated by site. More information on SHRINE can be found on http://open.med.harvard.edu/display/SHRINE.

SHRINE Installation

First, change the parameters in the first menu entry "Configure SHRINE node", as shown in the following screenshot:

Then install SHRINE, simply by running "SHRINE => Install SRHINE". The installer will then guide you through the installation process. If this has not happend before, the tool will automatically install the selected i2b2 version and load the i2b2 Demo data, which is also used for the SHRINE demo project.
