OpenCDS SandBox (Tolven and OpenCDS service)


I have created a sandbox environment to test the interaction between the OpenCDS service and an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.  This environment contains the following:
  1. The Tolven EHR system (an open source EHR system http://home.tolven.org/
  2. The OpenCDS service (running in a Tomcat server) http://www.opencds.org/ 
  3. Guvnor (rules editor http://guvnor.jboss.org/)
  4. Eclipse with a workspace containing a Tolven plugin code that enables the connection between the EHR system and the CDS service. 
The installation process is described in the following video:


The iso image file can be downloaded from here:

You can clone the code of Tolven plugin from here:
 $git clone https://bitbucket.org/Salvador_Rdz/tolven-opencds-plugin.git  

Another approach for installing this image is using the .ova file (Open Virtualization Format).  This file is available in the following link: (description key !UELDz_Toe8UnRNyBmmTkwSk1ysd3KAdYXIUhQkx14kU )

To import the Virtual Machine into Oracle VirtualVox Manager, click on File -> Import Appliance and
select the ova file.
Using the ova file is quicker than using the iso file, since you don’t have to wait for the clonezilla installation.    However, you can use the iso file to install the environment directly into the hardware without using a visualization environment.
