+This content has been moved! Please find the new content for the 3.0 version of the Virtual Appliance at our new [https://ontoportal.github.io/administration/ OntoPortal Virtual Appliance Administration pages].
-* Cache and dictionary file updated at each ontology submission parsing
+In particular this content is mostly at the [https://ontoportal.github.io/administration/management/annotator_management/ Annotator Management page].
-* The dictionary.txt file is generated from Redis data (annotator cache at localhost:6379)
-* Annotator ruby lib (https://github.com/ncbo/ncbo_annotator)
-** The Annotator calls mgrep on port 5555 which uses ''/srv/mgrep/dictionary/dictionary.txt'' to annotate the text.
-** Mgrep uses /srv/mgrep/dictionary.txt to retrieve the mgrep ID (1st column of dictionary.txt)
-** Redis use the mgrep ID to retrieve the class URI and other data (PREF or SYN, ontology URI)
-= Update cache and dictionary =
-== Redis prefix ==
-When caching data about a concept Redis use a prefix (it allows BioPortal to update the cache on another prefix without interrupting the Annotator service)
-To get the prefix used by the annotator in Redis:
-<code>
- redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 <br/>
-> get current_instance
-</code>
-To change it:
-<code>
-> set current_instance "c1:"
-</code>
-== Totally clean the cache (optional) ==
-Not always necessary, but can be useful if you have old annotations (for concept from deleted submissions) that won't go away.<br/>
-Be careful it also delete the "current_instance", so you will have to set it.
-<code>
- redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 <br/>
-> flushall
-> set current_instance "c1:"
-</code>
-== Setting up of config files ==
-Running the generate cache CRON job will create new entries in Redis with the prefix defined in the config file with "annotator_redis_alt_prefix"
-Config files location in the VM:<br/>
-* /srv/ncbo/ncbo_cron/config/appliance.rb<br/>
-* /srv/ncbo/ontologies_api/current/config/environments/appliance.rb
-To generate the cache on a new "alt" prefix and continue to annotate with the one defined in Redis current_instance
-<code>
- Annotator.config do |config|
-   config.annotator_redis_prefix  = ""
-   config.annotator_redis_alt_prefix  = "c1:"
-</code>
-== Generate the Redis cache and dictionary for all ontologies ==
-The following CRON job will generate the annotator cache in Redis, then generate the dictionary used by mgrep (in ''/srv/mgrep/dictionary/dictionary.txt'')<br/>
-'''Be careful!''' It is using the _annotator_redis_alt_prefix_ to generate the cache, but the Redis _current_instance_ to generate the dictionary.<br/>
-So if you are doing a total refresh of the cache and dictionary (after a flushall for example) you will have to define the same prefix in Redis current_instance and in config.annotator_redis_alt_prefix
-<br/>
-Then run the following command from the ncbo_cron project (''/srv/ncbo/ncbo_cron''):
-<code>
- bin/ncbo_ontology_annotate_generate_cache -a -r -d -l logs/all_cache.log
-</code>
-It will generates entry in Redis like this : "c1:term:-1762481778059933889"
-Check for it in Redis:
-<code>
- redis-cli
-> keys c1:term:*
-</code>
-Restart mgrep : ''service mgrep restart'' or do a ''bprestart''
-The annotator should be updated!
-== More details on the generate cache options ==
-The CRON job ''ncbo_ontology_annotate_generate_cache'' can be run with different options:
-* -r or --remove-cache
-Reset cache to scratch
-DO NOT use the -r attribute when generating cache for individual ontologies, as it will delete the entire cache used by the Annotator and replace it with a new one that will only contain the given ontologies.
-* -a or --all-ontologies
-To generate the cache for all ontologies : run the process on the annotator_redis_alt_prefix
-* -o STY,SNMI
-Generate the cache only for the specified ontologies : run the process on the annotator_redis_prefix
-* -d or --generate-dictionary
-Also re-generate the dictionary for the terms prefixed by current_instance. Does the same job as the ncbo_ontology_annotate_generate_dictionary CRON job.
-== Generate the dictionary only ==
-To generate the dictionary from the Redis cache (terms prefixed with Redis ''current_instance''):
- /srv/ncbo/ncbo_cron/bin/ncbo_ontology_annotate_generate_dictionary
-= Troubleshooting =
-== Check which dictionary mgrep is using ==
-Restart mgrep and run it:
- ps -ef | grep mgrep
-It should give something like:
- mgrep    27924     1  0 Jan27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/mgrep-4.0.2/mgrep --port=55555 -f /srv/mgrep/mgrep-55555/dict -w /usr/local/mgrep-4.0.2/word_divider.txt -c /usr/local/mgrep-4.0.2/CaseFolding.txt
-== Run queries on mgrep ==
-Run queries against the mgrep directly, using a telnet connection to the mgrep server
-<code>
- telnet my-bioportal-vm 55555
-   ANY entity
-</code>
-It should return something like this (if entity is cached for the annotator, which should be since it is in STY)
- 1882193402596741431	2	7	entity
