Hi Gandhi, You don't need to have sno_rx_16ab* . I don't know exactly how you are configured, but if you have another dictionary that you want to use instead of the default sno_rx then you just need to create it and then point the custom config .xml. This can be done a couple of ways, but basically set the parameter LookupXml to point to your custom xml path. This needs to be done at startup. Once ctakes is running (i.e. as a service) you cannot change the dictionary.
This is briefly explained at the bottom of the wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Dictionary+Creator+GUI Sean -----Original Message----- From: Gandhi Rajan Natarajan [mailto:gandhi.natara...@arisglobal.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2017 10:44 AM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: RE: Use of custom Dictionary Descriptor file [EXTERNAL] Hi Sean, When we try to deploy cTAKES as web application, it always looks for sno_rx_16ab.xml by default on server start. So do you mean we should also have sno_rx_16ab.xml as well as custom xml file in the resources folder all the time?

The dictionary creator gui will create a custom dictionary and its .xml configuration file and place them in your ctakes resources/ directory. No code changes necessary. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_CTAKES_Dictionary-2BCreator-2BGUI&d=DwIFAg&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=K-fWZaRAkXxJHPoz7nhE5U4rhYmrwSrGwMqji82GLVc&s=DIMsU-EWm6kc1X-08Z2GlrsKmug3xQCnPgtDAXp3o1s&e= If you search the ctakes devlist emails you should find some threads discussing custom dictionaries and bsv files. (bar separated value, aka pipe-delimited). For smaller custom dictionaries those can be created. The emails should include information on creating the .xml dictionary configuration files.
