Hi Leander. I think that you would be better off using the dictionary gui. It is also in sandbox, and though it was originally a wrapper interface for the cli tool, it has since been the more active project with new features and bug fixes.

I made a quick summary of what I found: Change the configuration at /data/default/CtakesSources.txt to include ICD10 or other extensions; there can be zero or more sources. Copy ctakesumls.properties and ctakesumls.script from resource/memdbtemplate to a new folder to put the new UMLS DB Run DictionaryCreator2 java -cp dictionarytool.jar;lib/* org.apache.ctakes.dictionarytool.DictionaryCreator2 -umls "/2015AB/META" -atui ./data/tiny/CtakesAnatTuis.txt -tui ./data/tiny/CtakesSnomedTuis.txt -src ./data/tiny/CtakesSources.txt -fd ./data/tiny -db jdbc:hsqldb:file:pathTonewDB/snorx2015 -tbl CUI_TERMS Run CodeMapCreator java -cp dictionarytool.jar;lib/* org.apache.ctakes.dictionarytool.CodeMapCreator -umls "/2015AB/META" -atui ./data/tiny/CtakesAnatTuis.txt -db jdbc:hsqldb:file:pathTonewDB/snorx2015 -fd ./data/tiny -tbl CUI_TERMS Copy new DB files to new location and create a copy of cTakesHsql.xml and update dictionary location I'm failing at step 3 when running the DictionaryCreator2 with the output: lib/hsqldb.jar: warning: cannot start debugger; debugging mode disabled lib/hsqldb.jar: line 1: $'PK\003\004': command not found lib/hsqldb.jar: line 2: META-INF/ PK: No such file or directory lib/hsqldb.jar: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `(' lib/hsqldb.jar: line 3: p < _ xMETA-INF/MANIFEST.MFm Ok! c{ f o m {(. \5 uf 5ڙR N 8F+w @ V %m" =] / U { D Hc 9eٹ =b tf0 Υ &[ U m g& w @ p % )` kQe z{' w ͩ H+. /f՜ Z ] Q S /vHG ٔ e h[ -F}PK' The path should be correctly pointing to the UMLS folder.
