In release 1.7.11 the following i2b2 components contain changes and therefore need to be updated when upgrading your i2b2 environment.
The JDBC drivers were updated to the following versions.
The top-level categories/folders in your ontology can now be optionally protected by one or more i2b2 roles (e.g. DATA_LDS, DATA_PROT, etc.) This feature allows the administrator to define one or more roles for an individual root folder in the ontology, and users without one of these roles will not be able to see the ontology item or use any of the terms in this folder.
To use this new feature and protect a root level folder, follow these steps:
Example:
If you wanted to create a root level folder in your ontology called "PHI Demonstration" and only wanted users with the DATA_PROT role to be able to see it, you would make the following changes to your TABLE_ACCESS table:
C_TABLE_CD | C_TABLE_NAME | C_PROTECTED_ACCESS | C_HLEVEL | C_FULLNAME | C_NAME | ... | C_ONTOLOGY_PROTECTION |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
i2b2_DEMO | i2b2 | N | 1 | \i2b2\Demographics | Demographics | ... | null |
i2b2_DIAG | i2b2 | N | 1 | \i2b2\Diagnoses\ | Diagnoses | ... | null |

The Previous Queries panel in the web client has been upgraded to accommodate three new options.
The i2b2 software now officially supports WildFly 14. The primary advantages are the faster install/upgrade of i2b2 as a pre-packaged collection (WAR) and managed data source connections/pooling.
The i2b2 software is now made available under the terms of the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 2.0. i2b2 is also distributed under the terms of the Healthcare Disclaimer addendum.
