NCI LexEVS Data Packaging and Deployment Utility
The NCI LexEVS Data Packaging and Deployment Utility is a utility primarily intended to ease the manual process of packing and publishing LexEVS 5.1 data from environment to environment or from development tier to another. In general, LexEVS 5.1 data is loaded in to a LexEVS 5.1 environment using the LexEVS 5.1 loader and using this utility it is possible to package said data for deployment and to then to deploy said data to other LexEVS 5.1 environments. Updates of the associated "metadata.xml", "registry.xml" and Lucene index files are handled automatically by this utility. This utility will also handles the removal of selected terminologies from target environments.
Usage Information
The NCI LexEVS Data Packaging and Deployment Utility contains two separate executable files, the first one being "package.sh" which invokes a Java executable which is able to process user packaging commands (an instruction set) for the purpose of creating a "deployment" package. The user is able to select which terminologies are to be deployed and which terminologies are to be removed using the "package.sh" utility. The second, "deploy.sh" invokes a Java executable that is able to read the previously created package and to deploy it to a target environment.
Below is a listing of the instruction set for both the packaging and deployment utilities:
Instruction set for "package.sh"
- (H)elp - Display a listing of all available commands.
- (L)ist - Displays a numbered listing of available terminologies (for packaging) from the source environment. The source environment is determined by the value of property "master_lbconfig" in file "package.properties". Please see package.properties for available properties.
