 Note
titleNote
NCI Metathesaurus contains many individual vocabularies some of which are large vocabularies in and of themselves. It requires many hours to load and index. It can require 36 hours on a multiprocessor machine with 6g plus memory. The total time to load NCI MetaThesaurus will vary depending on machine, memory, and disk speed. Because this loader uses a batch loading strategy it is less dependent on memory, but some users will see 3 or 4 day load times with average multiprocessor processing power.
Resuming Loads
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.
