de.oddb.org - OpenDrugDatabase for Germany

==========================================

Below notes go by timeline. The most uptodate is on top.



11:15 - 26.10.2010



If you want to import a PDF directly, do



  $ jobs/import_gkv pdf=http://www.xxx.com/abc.pdf



15:21 - 02.09.2010



Granting PowerUser and Admin privileges:



	yus_grant email@ywesee.com login org.oddb.de.PowerUser



and



	yus_grant email@ywesee.com login org.oddb.de.Admin



14.34 - 01.09.2010



For exporting the chde.xls the



	readonlyd



has to run at ch.oddb.org on localhost:10013. Also the

currencyd has to run on localhost:10999



I also had to change the require path for 



	multilingual



from



	oddb.org/src/remote/galenic_group.rb:#require 'oddb/util/multilingual'



to



	/oddb.org/src/remote/galenic_group.rb:require 'src/remote/multilingual'



10.14 - 01.09.2010



The 



	/var/www/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/drugs/sequence.rb



should not be overwritten with the 



	sequence.rb (68 lines of code)



file from the pure

	

	ODDB (64 lines of code)



Library, or the Painfo.yaml and Fachinfo.yaml will fail with a 



	undefined method `cascading_name' for #



error.



16.36 - 30.08.2010



Always execute the the jobs of de.oddb.org from ../jobs otherwise the

scripts will create a var directory in the jobs directory. And you don't

want that!



I also noted that if you do not use the plain ODDB Library from the scm

but only the files from 



	de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/



then you will have to add some files from the pure ODDB-Library. Follow the

errors you get when you start-up



	bin/oddb



08.30 - 30.08.2010



Running



	sudo ./export_fachinfos



results in



	/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:562:in `check_auth_args': both user and secret are required (ArgumentError)

        from /home/zeno/.software/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/util/smtp_tls.rb:8:in `do_start'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:377:in `start'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:315:in `start'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/util/mail.rb:77:in `sendmail'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/util/mail.rb:27:in `notify_admins'

        from /home/zeno/.software/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/export/server.rb:73:in `safe_export'

        from /home/zeno/.software/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/export/server.rb:32:in `export_fachinfo_yaml'

        from ./export_fachinfo_yaml:17

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/util/job.rb:16:in `call'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/util/job.rb:16:in `run'

        from ./export_fachinfo_yaml:16



There must be a configuration somewhere that sets the Mail-sending method. Looking into this now.



08.15 - 30.08.2010



This commit made the difference to start-up de.oddb.org.



	http://scm.ywesee.com/?p=oddb/.git;a=commit;h=d59aaecbf23461cf5c677e3c49d492600909af74



The plain ODDB Library was only setup to work with the new version of

ch.oddb.org. So all the files from 



	/var/www/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/ 

	

where linked to 



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/



But the goal is to install the ODDB-Library seperatly for de.oddb.org

and ch.oddb.org. The config.rb file has also been replaced by the

config.rb from /var/www/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb/ as the .config.rb was

setup for ch.oddb.org - see this commit:



	http://scm.ywesee.com/?p=oddb/.git;a=blobdiff;f=lib/oddb/config.rb;h=280cedcb751c467a58178d5c2eb24efaa2541ab2;hp=35b9efca3430ba8a6e5f83068bba117d40cc381a;hb=8e9cbd2848bd20e18ef158ea520476a183053a34;hpb=70d736e9325049dcb565f995081d65fb6298af3a



11.02 - 26.08.2010



changing



	#    logger.error('fatal') { error }

	        p error



in



	bin/oddbd



and getting the following output



	#

	bin/oddbd:18: uninitialized constant ODDB::Util::Server (NameError)



after running



	sudo bin/oddbd



08.06 - 26.08.2010



	bin/exportd



seems to run just fine once I installed



	fastercsv



The version online is 1.4.0. My local version of fastercsv is 1.5.3. My 



	bin/oddbd



crashes right after



	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_atc_code� existiert bereits

	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_sequence_atc� existiert bereits



this is shortly before this message should come (as it does with bin/exportd)



	I, [2010-08-26T08:03:37.025071 #26182]  INFO -- start: starting export-server on druby://localhost:11001



16.23 - 25.08.2010



This file



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/encoding/character/utf-8.rb



also needs a



	require 'rubygems'



to get rid of the "Internal Server Error" of Apache. 



I also commened out the following lines 



	#    server = ODDB::Util::Server.new

	#    logger.info('start') {

	#      sprintf("starting oddb-server on %s", url) }

	#    logger.error('fatal') { error }



in



	bin/oddb



that makes de.oddb.org startup but I can not yet search. Apache still delivers some strange errors.



15:30 - 25.08.2010



I am getting on after importing the DB with zcat (same like with oddb.org) I run 



	sudo bin/oddbd



It results in



	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_package_code� existiert bereits



	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_package_substance� existiert bereits



	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_atc_code� existiert bereits



	FEHLER:  Relation �target_id_oddb_drugs_sequence_atc� existiert bereits



	.software/de.oddb.org/bin/oddbd:30: undefined method `error' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)



This looks like de.oddb.org is waiting for a service but I do not know

what kind of service it could be. It may also be just another strange

error.



13:52 - 25.08.2010



I added 		



	require 'rubygems'



to the following files on my local machine



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/fixes/singular.rb



In the following file



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/model.rb



I changed



	require 'facets/module/basename'



to



	require 'facet/module/basename'



this made the following error go away:



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- facets/module/basename (LoadError)

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/model.rb:6

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs/active_agent.rb:4:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs/active_agent.rb:4

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs.rb:1:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs.rb:1

        from bin/oddbd:9:in `require'

        from bin/oddbd:9	



Now I am getting



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/DBD/Pg/Pg.rb:118:in `initialize': FATAL:  Datenbank >>oddb<< existiert nicht (DBI::OperationalError)

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/DBD/Pg/Pg.rb:62:in `new'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/DBD/Pg/Pg.rb:62:in `connect'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:424:in `connect'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:215:in `connect'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/odba/connection_pool.rb:60:in `_connect'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/odba/connection_pool.rb:59:in `times'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/odba/connection_pool.rb:59:in `_connect'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/odba/connection_pool.rb:56:in `connect'

         ... 7 levels...

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/persistence.rb:4

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

        from bin/oddbd:10

		

I guess I need the DB now.



11:00 - 25.08.2010



The following directory also did not exist on my local machine:



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fixes



instead my local machine has the directory



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/fixes



but above directory is not on thinpower.



10:00 - 25.08.2010



There is a difference in the data structure of



	/var/www/de.oddb.org/lib/oddb



between thinpower and the my local machine _*after*_ I done a 

git pull. There must be some files missing that where not added with



	git add



The files that seem to be missing on my local machine are



	business.rb

	text.rb



09:00 - 25.08.2010



Trying to setup de.oddb.org results in the following error:



	/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/fixes/singular.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- active_support/inflector (LoadError)

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/fixes/singular.rb:4

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/model.rb:4:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/model.rb:4

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs/active_agent.rb:4:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs/active_agent.rb:4

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs.rb:1:in `require'

        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oddb/drugs.rb:1

        from bin/oddbd:9:in `require'

        from bin/oddbd:9



Debugging now.

Short Description: de.oddb.org is an OpenDrugDatabase that enables the

search for Drugs by their ActiveAgent, Name, Producer, ATC-Code and much

more. You can do a price comparison between the Original Drug and the

Generic by Clicking on the Drug's Name. The database tells you a lot

about the officially registerted Drugs in Germany (In Germany any drug

on the market needs to be registered at Bfarm - Bundesinstitut f�r

Arzneimittel). ODDB.org exports the complete Data in the YAML.org Format

(34117 registred products at the moment).

Background

----------



A discussion on http://www.linuxmednews.org



Post by Zeno: 	In Switzerland we have the problem that there is only

one provider of the data. And that provider serves all hospitals,

doctors, old age homes, pharmacies etc. As they have the monopoly the

could issue a tax on every transaction that is done with there data;

Example: The docotor in the hospital prescribes one drug to the patient.

That info goes into the system and then gets passed on the specialist

(external of hospital) and then gets passed on to the insurance etc.

Imagine you must pay 50cent for every transaction of the data...



Post by Tim: 	This certainly carries some pretty scary scenarios. Are

there not laws to prevent abuse? It would seem that a government

monoploy has been issued here and there would be protections in place.



Post by Zeno: 	1. Yes, that is exactly the problem. The company that

has the monopoly also is working for the government and administrating

the database of all drugs that are covered by the public health

insurance.



		2. I have taken the above issues to antitrust department

and the 'price governing' department of Switzerland. The first pushed

the issue to the second and vice versa. I then contacted the leading

consumer representative of Switzerland and she gave the issue some

momentum.  



		3. The result of the above was ch.oddb.org an independent

database for Switzerland. My personal interest is the acceleration of

the electronic data interchange in the healthcare industry. This can

only take place on open standards.
