Hi, in AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.xml of cTAKES it states that:
[...] Please update DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml file with your UMLS username and password. Similarly, in AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.xml from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-344 [...] Please update resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/fast/cTakesHsql.xml file with your UMLS username and password I am passing my UMLS login and password on startup as arguments, when starting the either CVD/CPE or org.apache.uima.examples.cpe.SimpleRunCPE argumets such as: "-Dctakes.umlsuser=myusername -Dctakes.umlspw=mypassword" In such a case, it is still necessary to modify the file(s) above? Additional question: It seems that the AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.xml from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-344 has some nice improvements (using DrugNER and default fast pipeline). I just downloaded it from the svn and replaced the old cTAKES 3.2.1 file with this one, and it seems to run just fine and cTAKES does annotations. Can somebody from the devs or users tell me if this manual replacement step is OK and does not break anything that I am not aware of? Many thanks for answers on any of my questions, Tom
