VAC4EU/ROC18: ROC18 v1.0.9

Documentation:

Documentation of the script is available here together with a diagram of the script

Instructions:

To run the script this is the checklist of what to do:

1. Download this release's binary file (.zip), extract the folder, and copy it to your server in a new folder.
2. Open the file 01_parameters_program.R inside the folder p_parameters.
3. Modify the parameters dirinput with the folder where the CDM tables are stored. If the output of the algorithm pregnancy is available you should specify dirpregnancy as the directory where the dataset, output of the pregnancies algorithm, "D3_pregnancy_final" is stored.
4. Open the to_run.R file and run just the parameters.
5. Check if everything is working correctly. Especially:
   • Missing packages should be installed automatically by the script but sometimes updating an existing one may cause an error.
   • If the script does not find the output of the pregnancy it produces an error (if the folder has been specified.
6. If everything is ok, run the script.
7. When the script finishes upload the folder/s g_export on DRE in the workspace ROC18.

Features to be aware of:

1. Every step is independent of the other. If a bug occurs in a step, the previous ones can be skipped when rerun is needed.
2. After each step the environment cleans itself automatically. This consequence is, if there is a RAM shortage issue then it is useless to try and rerun only a single step at a time. Instead, quickly open an issue, and we will try to find a solution.
