Hi Arron,
I'm sorry that didn't work. I normally run using a dozen different methods
depending upon my needs. No real silver bullet ...
The easiest way to run the fast clinical pipeline from a command line, is:
1. Check out trunk
2. Build with mvn package
you may need to specify -DskipTests
3. Unzip the appropriate zip for your system in ctakes-distribution/target/
On a command in the unzipped ctakes root directory, run:
bin/runClinicalPipeline –i inputDirectory –-xmiOut outputDirectory --user
umlsUsername --pass umlsPassword
Note the double dashes for --xmiOut --user and --pass. Yours truly gave a live
demo and forgot to double-dash :^)
Anyway, that will run the clinical pipeline on a directory tree of plaintext
files in the specified inputDirectory, and write an identical directory tree of
.xmi files in the outputDirectory. I haven't tested it for about a week, but
last I did it worked just fine.
On that note, thank you for pointing out that there is a problem going through
such a should-be-simple workflow. It is something that we should remedy before
the 3.2.3 release. If you notice any other hardships with the software please
let the community know.
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks very much Sean. Didn't work unfortunately - but I am curious if you
don't personally use the CPE, how to you batch process documents?
I would like to just run the AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.xml on all
files in a given directory - perhaps with *some* control over the output
filenames.
Thanks,
Arron.
