  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
  and from the workplace. For more detailed information please see the workplace

  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
