Action

screenshot of FTP directory

2

Select the version of NCI Metathesaurus RRF you wish to download. Save the file to a directory on your machine.

3

Extract the RRF files from the zip download and save in a directory on your machine. This directory will be referred to as NCI_METATHESAURUS_DIRECTORY. RELASE_INFO.RRF is required to be present for the load utility to work.

4

Using the LexEVS utilities load the NCI Thesaurus:

Code Block
{LEXEVS_HOME}/admin

For Windows installation use the following command:

Code Block
LoadMetaBatch.bat –in "file:///{NCI_METATHESAURUS_DIRECTORY}/"

For Linux installation use the following command:

Code Block
LoadMetaBatch.sh –in "file:///{NCI_THESAURUS_DIRECTORY}/"

Resuming Loads

Note
titleBear in Mind!

Killed processes cannot be restarted. The load can recover from an application error, but mp from an outside activity stopping the process

Since this loader is resource hungry we provide the option to restart should you find your resource settings to be inadequate. Resuming loads which have crashed or been interrupted by server problems is possible using the ResumeBatchLoad script set.
