Stop/Start/Reboot/Terminate
by Scooter Willis 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Last night I used the Amazon console to stop my working instance. Today started up the instance using amazon console. Waited appropriate time, using new assigned public ip address and no response. Also did a reboot and no response. I can ssh to the instance but do not know what to check for errors. Should you be able to stop/start and instance in amazon console and have it work correctly? Trying to avoid the "power down" option using the galaxy web interface since I had the problem with new instances being started in a different availability zone where the EBS volume was located. Looks like I will be leaving the master instance running and contributing to amazon profit margins!

Unable to fetch the sequence ERROR
by Aarthi Talla 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hello, I am trying to fetch sequences using an interval file with columns 'chr', start, end and name. The names in the chr column are like chr1,chr2...chrY... and for the chrMT and the HSCHR*. I could fetch sequences for chr1-Y but it does not fetch for MT and HSCHR* and GL000*.1 I get the error "4536 warnings, 1st is: Unable to fetch the sequence from '33529672' to '329' for chrom 'HSCHR6_MHC_MCF'." Skipped 4536 invalid lines, 1st is #775, "HSCHR6_MHC_MCF 33529672 33530001 KIFC1". I locally cached the database as Human Hg19. Now does ur Hg19 contain MT and the other GL000*.1 and haplotype sequences in it ? Or do I change the headers of those lines in the interval file accordingly ? Id be glad if you could get back to me asap. Thanks

Parallelism tag and job splitter
by Edward Hills 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi Galaxy-Team, After reading a message on this mailing list about the job splitter I began to investigate what and how this is used. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any documentation on your website for it. Am I blind and missing it or is it yet to be properly documented? Sorry if this turns to be out a pointless exercise, but it would be extremely useful for my Galaxy development. Cheers, Ed

Re: [galaxy-dev] Fwd: pass more information on a dataset merge

Hi John, Do you think it's possible to create a <test> for your 'm:" format? I couldn't find how to specify multi input files for the test. -Alex -----Original Message----- From: jmchilton(a)gmail.com [mailto:jmchilton@gmail.com] On Behalf Of John Chilton Sent: Tuesday, 23 October 2012 7:59 AM To: Jorrit Boekel Cc: Khassapov, Alex (CSIRO IM&T, Clayton) Subject: Re: Fwd: [galaxy-dev] pass more information on a dataset merge Hello again Jorrit, Great, I am glad we are largely on the same page here.

Hello Everyone, I am about to write a syncing tool for Galaxy like Dropbox using Python with the progress bar. How do I integrate it with galaxy? It would be easy for client to upload files using the syncing tool. Are there any syncing tools available for Galaxy? Thanks
