Hi All
I've been working on creating a dictionary for the 2023AA UMLS, specifically 
incorporating SNOMED and RxNorm. However, I've encountered two main challenges 
that I'm hoping to get assistance with:
1. Combining SNOMED and RxNorm in Dictionary Creation:   To initiate the 
process, I extracted data from umls-2023AA-full and RxNorm_full. After 
utilizing NLM Metamorphosys to install UMLS, the conversion of SNOMED from 
umls-2023AA-full into RRF files was successfully accomplished. However, when I 
proceeded to employ cTAKES Dictionary Creator for transforming UMLS SNOMED and 
RxNorm into a singular dictionary, I encountered an issue. The challenge lies 
in the fact that I can only select one "UMLS Installation" source, limiting me 
to either SNOMED or RxNorm. Is there a viable solution that would enable me to 
effectively incorporate both SNOMED and RxNorm into the dictionary generation 
process?
2. Error Message During Dictionary Build:   Following the selection of the NLM 
Metamorphosys output folder as the "UMLS Installation" source and checking all 
relevant boxes for Vocabulary and Semantic Type, I clicked on "Build 
Dictionary". Unfortunately, this action resulted in an error message being 
displayed. I'm seeking guidance on how to address and resolve this error in 
order to successfully complete the dictionary creation process.
Error Message: Dictionary ctakesdictionary could not be built in F:\cTAKESLog 
Message: user lacks privilege or object not found: MED in statement [insert 
into MED-RT (CUI,MED-RT)  values (?,?)]
I truly appreciate any assistance that can be provided in overcoming these 
challenges.
Thank you very much.
