As announced with the release of LOINC 2.77 in February 2024, we will be ending support for RELMA’s online search option. This service will stop working on Dec. 31, 2024.
Older versions of RELMA, version 7.9 and earlier, offered two options for its search engine: online, Solr-based search or internal, Lucene-based search. This change invalidates use of the online search only. All other functions of RELMA will remain intact. This discontinuation also does not impact our SearchLOINC web app.
If you use a version of RELMA prior to 7.10, you will need to switch from the online (Solr) option to RELMA’s Lucene engine. We have created very detailed instructions, with screenshots, for making this change on our Knowledge Base.
We always recommend downloading the latest version of RELMA to take advantage of any updates, including access to the latest LOINC release. Recent versions of RELMA, version 7.10 and 7.11, have removed this search engine option altogether, defaulting to use of the internal Lucene search.
If you have any questions or concerns, please post them here in the forum or use our contact form.
