Overview

The IDRT Import and Mapping Tool (IMT) is a client application designed to run on your local machine. It doesn't need administrator's privileges.

Because it operates on the i2b2 database directly rather then using the i2b2 Web Service API, you need a physical connection to that database. This includes network access to the database server (check firewall when in doubt), a JDBC database driver (for PostgreSQL, it is supplied within the tool) and a database account that was granted the right to write to the required i2b2 project tables. If you used the i2b2 wizard to create a project, you already provided the credentials.
