The remote method invocation service of LexEVS (Distributed LexEVS) is being sunsetted. NIH/NCI no longer hosts this externally. If you choose to install this for your own service be aware that it will be deprecated in the near future.

Not counting prerequisite software products the installation and verification should not take more than 30 minutes.
