Info on getting data in and out of a deployed terminology server.

Table of Contents

For some admin operations, you will need the “admin key” for your deployment. This is part of the information provided to you when Getting started.

Exporting Local Changes

Some installations of the tool will be configured to support editing features (creating new concepts or synonyms, adding or editing mappings or subset/refset member information).

This feature is available to support post-deployment loading of terminologies that were originally excluded. It supports only the “simple terminology format” which is a .zip file containing a “concepts.txt”, “parChd.txt”, and “attributes.txt” file. This can be described in further detail if needed but is considered out-of-scope for the documentation at this time.

Reindex Terminology

An individual terminology can be completely reindexed. This normally isn’t needed, but with some code updates and some admin operations, it may be required. This process completely rebuilds the indexes based on data in the database.

This feature is also available on the “Admin” tab after expanding the “Actions” accordion.

...

To enable the “Reindex Terminology” button, you first have to select one of the terminology buttons at the top of the page (e.g. “SNOMEDCT_US”). Click the button and it will reindex the terminology. This can take a while and the browser will remain grayed out until finished.
