    Installation
    This release note applies to you if you are upgrading to 1.3.0009-RC2 from a computer running an earlier
    version of the i2b2 workbench. This release candidate does contain server changes so it is important to
    update both the client and the server.
    If you are installing 1.3.0009-RC2 from a computer running the i2b2 workbench, ensure that the
    workbench and all eclipse applications are closed prior to installing this release candidate.
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CHANGE TO HIVE
    The i2b2 Hive is segmented by domain and by project. A separate i2b2 Hive is defined by its Project
    Management cell, the cell which controls user authentication and serves to store the references to all
    cells considered to be part of that particular Hive.
    Each i2b2 Hive is labeled with a ?domain? name. When one logs into the Hive, the domain is part of the
    login information. Other login information is the user name and password. The user name and
    password are only tested to be valid within this domain, and the user name and password are kept in
    the domain?s Project Management cell.
    Each domain may house several projects. Each user may be part of several projects, or just one project.
    If a user is part of two projects, they should not expect work that they do in one project to appear in a
    second project. The work is kept separated. Each project may have its own ontology and data
    repository. A user may switch between databases containing the ontology/data repository for that
    project by switching projects. In the i2b2 workbench, only one project can be viewed at a time. This is
    to keep the previous queries and workspace objects consistent with the ontology and data repository of
    the project.
    Third Party Software
    Eclipse was upgraded to Eclipse Europa version.3.2, which means the eclipse plug -ins as well as the
    i2b2 plug-ins has been upgraded to the newer version.
    Information about Eclipse Europa version.3.2 can be found on the eclipse website (www. eclipse.o rg)

    New Features
    Release candidate.3.000 9 contains the following new features.
    Workplace Management Cell.0
    Workplace Management is a new cell in the core hive. As part of this enhancement a new view in the
    i2b2 workbench is available to users. Information in this view is related to the most common concepts
    and queries that an individual uses and in essence becomes their personal workspace.
    Detailed information regarding the functionality of the workplace can be found in one of the following
    three documents included in this release:
    1.
    Workplace Architecture_1-0.pdf
    2.
    Workplace Installation Guide_1-0.pdf
    3.
    Workplace Messaging_1-1.pdf
    Provided below is an outline of some of the key features of workplace management cell.0.
  • Add the workplace view to the i2b2 workbench.
  • Create folders to organize terms, queries, templates, etc that have been saved by the user.
  • Create a shared folder to share terms, queries, templates, etc with other project team
    members. What is shared with others is determined by the individual users. Keep in mind once
    it is shared it will be available to anyone who has access to the project.
  • Copy different items/elements to and from the workplace by dragging and dropping them
    between the different views within i2b2. See the basic charts below on what can be copied to

    Updates
    FIX: Problem with upgrade scripts
    Tracking Number:
    201
    Category:
    CRC
    Applies To:
    Windows and Mac OS
    Description:
    Problem upgrading the CRC using the scripts provided in the source code.
    There seems to be an error in the script. The first three commands
    reference the following tables: visit_dim_lookup, patient_dim_lookup, and
    FACT_LOOKUP. These tables were not included in a previous release and
    should not be referenced.
    Resolution:
    Fixed the upgrade script to populate ?code_lookup? and ?crc_db_lookup?
    table. CRC install documentation has been updated with how to do this.
    Fix in Release:
    1.3.0009
