Product: caIntegrator
Version: 1.4
Date: July 2012

 

Introduction

caIntegrator is a web-based software package that allows researchers to set up custom, caBIG-compatible web portals to conduct integrative research, without requiring programming experience. These portals bring together heterogeneous clinical, microarray and medical imaging data to enrich multidisciplinary research.

Using caIntegrator, researchers can execute and save queries to identify and collect many types of data, combining clinical information with genetic and genomic data to enable multidimensional analysis. caintegrator uses caGrid analytical services such as GenePattern and BioConductor to perform analysis on the integrated study data, including clinical survival data.

Features and Defects Addressed in this Release

For a complete list of new features for 1.4 refer to caIntegrator JIRA location.

Known Issues/Defects

  1. caIntegrator v 1.4 can only pull array data from caArray v 2.5.1 and newer.
  2. CAINT-1070 Attempting to Add New Genomic Data Source in IE8 produces Restricted Area error
    Note: There is a workaround for this issue. After encountering the error, go to Manage Studies -> Edit Study page, and re-add the Genomic Data Source. https://tracker.nci.nih.gov/browse/CAINT-1070
  3. There is an issue that may be seen if a user attempts to install an older version of caIntegrator after installing caIntegrator 1.4 using the Windows GUI installer. Older versions of caIntegrator use JBOSS4 in the installation whereas caIntegrator 1.4 uses JBOSS5. To avoid the issue the user must delete the .installer-caintegrator2 file before beginning the second installation. The .installer-caintegrator2 file can usually be found in a default directory such as C:\Documents and Settings\username. If this file is not removed JBOSS5 will be installed instead of JBOSS4 and the installation will fail.
  4. There is a known issue within the UPT that account administrators may encounter when they add new users. The UPT may erroneously indicate that the user was already created and is a duplicate. When this happens and the user is not a duplicate the new user will be create as expected and the error message can be ignored. CSM-716, New user can be created in CSM 4.2.3 successfully, but the message displayed in browser is wrong. See https://tracker.nci.nih.gov/browse/CSM-716.
  5. There is a known issue in caIntegrator; the application is unable to receive data from the AIM service at Emory. See CAINT-1166.
