Upgrading from i2b2 1.7.05+ to 1.7.08b

Introduction

The release of i2b2 1.7.08 introduced a major platform change in which the JBoss 7 application server was replaced with WildFly 10 (formerly known as “JBoss” 10), and JDK 8 became required. If you installed i2b2 from source originally, the general upgrade path would follow:

Install WildFly 10 and migrate your configurations to it
Upgrade to JDK 8
Build i2b2 from source and deploy into WildFly 10

With consideration that you may be using custom ports, proxies, HTTPS, and other custom configurations that must be re-setup in WildFly from scratch and/or may be incompatible with WildFly, we have introduced a new upgrade path for using your existing JBoss 7 with i2b2 1.7.08b by providing drop-in JARs.

Technical Details

We are providing a zip file containing a pre-compiled version of i2b2 1.7.08b that you can drop into your existing instance to upgrade i2b2. The JARs were compiled with JDK 7 and will run in your existing JBoss 7 application server. The upgrade technique will work on both Linux and Windows environments.

You should meet all of the following requirements to use this upgrade path:

You should be running JBoss 7 (tested on JBoss-as-7.1.1.Final) and JRE 7
You are on i2b2 versions 1.7.05, 1.7.06, or 1.7.07
You either installed i2b2 from source or are using the i2b2 VMWare virtual machine (1.7.05, 1.7.06, or 1.7.07 only)

Release Summary

The latest release for the i2b2 Software is version 1.7.08b, this release fixed a minor issue where the CRC wasn't updating the BATCH_MODE in the database table. When a query finished running, the BATCH_MODE would remain as PROCESSING instead of FINISHED. This caused a problem in the i2b2 Workbench where the Timeline would not automatically generate when the query finished.
