    Hi Dr. Pujari,

    There is not currently a Rules Library but that is a great idea. Rules can have such a wide range of complexity that I'm not sure how this could be handled. Now that the Rule Designer is open source, I'm sure the community will not only enhance the tool but come up with some ways to offer either simple rules or templates for constructing more complex rules.

    Hi guys,

    check my post above. You can deploy the designer next to your OpenClinica in Tomcat. You just have to clone the repository. Adapt the configuration files. Compile the war archive. I have it running without any troubles so far.

    Tomas,


    That is great news, however, for all of us who are not programmers or IT gurus your instruction is totally meaningless to us. I for sure would need a detailed step by step instruction!

    Hi,

    I know that preparing the development environment could be quite a quest for non IT person. I created Designer deployable archive (using java 1.6 jdk) which you can download at


    Installation instruction under linux, in typical OC environment:
    1. chown -R tomcat Designer-1.1.war
    2. mv Designer-1.1.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps (Tomcat automatically extract the archive)
    3. vi /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Designer-1.1/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/spring/applicationContext-security.xml
    4. in this XML file you should find "oauth" element and adapt the accessTokenUri and user AuthorizationUri attributres to point to your OpenClinica instance
    5. vi /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Designer-1.1/WEB-INF/classes/resources.properties
    6. in this configuration file the "allowHosts" property should include your OC instance hostname (something like: yourOCHostName:8080)
    7. vi /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/OpenClinica/WEB-INF/classes/datainfo.properties
    8. in this configuration file find the "designerURL" property and provide the URL to currently deployed Designer app. (something like: http://yourOCHostName:8080/Designer-1.1/)
    9. /etc/init.d/tomcat restart (restart your Tomcat)

    Now everything should be up and running. Give it a try and if you run in some troubles feel free to ask.

    best

    Hi Tomas,

    Thanks a lot! I will try. I have a Windows server 2008 R2 environment but I guess I can deploy the .war file in a similar fashion as I deploy the OC .war files??

    Yeah, just deploy it the same way how it is done in Windows. Adapt the configuration files as described and restart the tomcat.

    Hi Tomas,

    Sorry to bother you again. Two questions?

    1) Under your instructions item 3 there should be a XML file applicationContext-security.xml but the only thing I find in the spring folder is webmvc.config

    2) Under point 5 the file "resources.properties" contains just on line mostly with IP numbers and port numbers it seems. I would not know how to get it to point my OC instance. I attach the file. By the way my instance is at http://localhost:8080/OpenClinica

    Thanks for your help!

    Regards
