Phoenix CTMS

This repository is a supplemental part of the Phoenix CTMS platform, see https://github.com/phoenixctms/ctsms.

The Bulk-Processor is a perl-based framework for ETL programs which hosts a growing number of "projects" to cover eg.

• eCRF setup import/export
• individual eCRF data import/export/migration
• data cleaning (eg. duplicate subject #s)
• various other ETL programs (reporting, query definition import/export, ...)
• rendering tools (system usage stats, workflow diagrams, data analysis, ...)

It can be installed and executed locally, connecting to a remote Phoenix CTMS instance via Rest-API (or to PostgreSQL, MySQL, ... database directly).

Installation on Windows

The following was tested on a vanilla Windows 8 VM.

1. Prerequisites:

2. Put together your local installation:

• download https://github.com/phoenixctms/bulk-processor/archive/master.zip and extract to C:\
• download https://github.com/phoenixctms/config-default/archive/master.zip and extract to C:\
• create a folder C:\bulk-processor
• move content from C:\bulk-processor-master to C:\bulk-processor
• move content from C:\config-default-master\bulk_processor to C:\bulk-processor
• optional:
  • download https://github.com/xxx/config-yyy/archive/master.zip and extract to C:\
