Step

Action

1

Using a web or ftp client go to the URL:

ftp://ftp1.nci.nih.gov/pub/cacore/EVS/

2

Select the version of NCI History you wish to download. Save the file to a directory on your machine. Select the VersionFile download to the same directory as the history file.

3

Extract the History files from the zip download and save in a directory on your machine. This directory will be referred to as NCI_HISTORY_DIRECTORY

4

Using the LexEVS utilities load the NCI Thesaurus:

Code Block
cd {LexBIG_DIRECTORY}/admin

For Windows installation use the following command:

Code Block
LoadNCIHistory.bat –nf –in "file:///{NCI_HISTORY_DIRECTORY}" –vf “file:///NCI_HISTORY_DIRECTORY}/VersionFile”

For Linux installation use the following command:

Code Block
LoadNCIHistory.sh –nf –in "file:///{NCI_HISTORY_DIRECTORY}" –vf “file:///NCI_HISTORY_DIRECTORY}/VersionFile”
Note
titleNote

If a 'releaseId' occurs twice in the file, the last occurrence will be stored. If LexEVS already knows about a releaseId (from a previous history load), the information is updated to match what is provided in the file.

This file has to be provided to the load API on every load because you will need to maintain it in the future as each new release is made. We have created this file that should be valid as of today from the information that we found in the archive folder on your ftp server. You can find this file in the 'resources' directory of the LexEVS install.
