Installation Folder - Location of Metathesaurus Files - The user may type in the location of the set of files to be subsetted. Alternatively, the user may select the the Browse button and select the installation folder from the directory hierarchy.
Target Folder - Location of Metathesaurus Files - The subsetted files will be placed into this directory upon completion of MetamorphoSys subsetting.
Current Configuration File - This text field displays the name of the last saved configuration file. The user may also enter the name of a previously saved configuration file. This will open the selected configuration file. Upon opening the application, the configuration file displayed is the last one edited or run during the previous MetamorphoSys session.
Input Handler
Various input handlers are available to the user. They read in the installation files that will be subsetted according to their format and location.
Efficient MR+ (Rich Data) Relational Format - Reads the Rich Data MR file format. When performing the "initialize cuis" stage of subsetting it reads only MRCON, MRSO, and MRSTY. This handler should be used for the default configuration, and any other configuration wherein filters will only cause an entire CUI to be removed from the output subset based on content in these three files.
MR (Original) Relational Format - Reads standard MR file format. When performing the "initialize cuis" stage of subsetting it reads all input MR files.
MR+ (Rich Data) Relational Format - Reads the Rich Data MR file format. When performing the "initialize cuis" stage of subsetting it reads all input MR+ files.
Output Handler
Various output handlers are available to the user. They write out the subsetted files according to the desired format and destination.
MR (Original) Relational Format - This stream writes the standard MR file format.
MySQL (Original) Load Format - This stream writes standard MR files. Additionally, a control file and a schema script are also written to the subset directory along with a Windows batch file script and a UNIX c-shell script which can be used to transparently create MySQL tables and load the data files into them. More information can be found in the README_OriginalMRMySQLOutputStream.txt file.
Oracle (Original) Load Format - This stream writes standard MR files. Additionally, control files and a schema script are also written to the subset directory along with a Windows batch file script and a UNIX c-shell script which can be used to transparently create Oracle tables and load the data files into them. More information can be found in the README_OriginalMROracleOutputStream.txt file.
MR+ (Rich Data) Relational Format - This stream writes the Rich Data MR+ file format.
MySQL (Rich Data) Load Format - This stream writes the Rich Data MR+ files. Additionally, a control file and a schema script are also written to the subset directory along with a Windows batch file script and a UNIX c-shell script which can be used to transparently create MySQL tables and load the data files into them.
