The i2b2 Upgrades space contains the upgrade documentation and the precompiled JAR files that can be used by existing i2b2 sites to upgrade their i2b2 server to the latest version of the i2b2 software. This space is organized as follows:
As new versions of the i2b2 server are released, the upgrade documentation and the appropriate JAR files will be added to this space.
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.
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 1.7.09b by providing drop-in JARs.
A zip file containing a precompiled version of i2b2 1.7.09c has been provided in the Download section of this document. The contents of the zip file can be dropped into your existing instance of i2b2 to upgrade it. The JARs were compiled with JDK 7 and will run in your existing JBoss 7 or WildFly application server. The upgrade technique will work on both Linux and Windows environments.
The following requirements must be met in order to use this upgrade path:
Depending on the version of i2b2 software you are upgrading from you may need to more than the latest version to see what components have been upgraded as earlier releases may have had some items updated but have no new changes in the new release. |
