Any technical info?

Hi all:

I'm new to OSCAR EMR, but have many, many years of experience in technology and in healthcare, including HL7 2.x & 3.0
(especially CDA and CCR stuff), Ubuntu, Tomcat, Java, networking, security, etc. Nice to see a solid EMR as open source!

I've gotten Oscar 9.06 running on a Ubuntu Jaunty virtual machine, under Tomcat 6.0.20 (the latest).  Took a bit of
tweaking to support the 6.0.20 Tomcat, but I've managed to do it (ping me if anyone is interested what it took...not
that much).  We use Tomcat 6 for other things, so I didn't want to regress to the 5.5 version which is standard with Ubuntu.

I was wondering if there was any more detailed technical documentation available?  Doesn't seem to be anything posted on
the main web site.  Things like:

Database Schema (showing table relationships....ER diagrams perhaps?)
Database overview...high level overview of key tables
Code structure overview
Concepts/Functional specs

and the like?

Thanks!

Hello Andrzej,

I'm fairly new to the OSCAR-game myself, and I did the same thing as you: Install on Tomcat 6.0.20. A
bit of caution there: Tomcat 6.0.20 is rather well backwards compatible with Tomcat 5.5.X, however not
quite. I ran into a screen that didn't work in 6.0.20, and reported that to Jay. Jay knew about the cause,
and fixed that screen (it had something to do with the fact that Tomcat 6.0.20 is more strict on requiring
quotes in some places). I don't know whether meanwhile a developer searched all the jsp's for this issue,
or whether the software has been validated to run on Tomcat 6.0.X, but if not, it might be safer to run
on a 5.5.x version.

I've got one document to add that might be useful for somebody with your developer skills: A document on
how to get the project going under the Netbeans IDE. The document should be on the OSCARcanada website,
but at the time due to technical issues with the site at the time it didn't quite make it (I don't know whether
the issues have been resolved meanwhile, and try to get it there).

The temporary links to the document are:

Thanks!  I'm not a Netbeans user, but have saved a copy of the document for future reference!

I've searched the whole blog site, but have not been able to locate any links to the data schema.

A quick search for the word "schema" in all your posts shows nothing either.

Can you point me in the right direction for this info?

Thanks!
