Gundolf, I'm not sure exactly what step you're on, but it sounds like you need to acquire or set up the UMLS dictionary. From what I remember, the contents of the ctakes-resources-3.2.1.1-bin.zip archive are already included with the 4.0.0 distribution. Also included with YTEX are scripts to create the tables to store the dictionary.
Once the tables were created, I used the contents of sno_rx_16ab.script, edited to a T-SQL insert script, to write the UMLS tables to a MS SQL server database. Then I altered apache-ctakes-4.0.0\resources\org\apache\ctakes\dictionary\lookup\fast\sno_rx_16ab.xml to use SQL Server database drivers and connection string to point to that instead of to the hsqldb file. I believe it should work with the hsqldb db as well if you don't want to use another database, but I got locking problems when I tried to do that. In any case it's quite fast to do the lookup in the MSSQL db when the indexes are configured correctly.

I found the YTEX DBConsumer module but I am not able to install YTEX properly as the links the the zip files seem to be outdated/broken at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/YTEX+Installation Are there updated instructions anywhere? Many thanks, Gundolf.
