Dear developer, I’m trying to deploy the local galaxy on a VM on Azure cloud. But I have encountered a problem. When I set up the galaxy local on the cloud VM, I couldn’t find the right url to access the web interface. Can you help in any way? Regards, Marc

sender address of galaxy tool report
by Rémy Dernat 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi, We run a galaxy server locally. When a user want to send an error through galaxy GUI "Report this error to the Galaxy Team" . We do not have any anonymous/guest users (not allowed). So we are sure that the content of the email textbox is always effective. The problem is that we use a remote helpdesk program that is using email piping to retrieve the email and convert it to a ticket. When we want to process galaxy ticket "GALAXY TOOL ERROR REPORT" the sender address is always the address "error_email_to" from the configuration file galaxy.ini / universe.ini So we can not replay into our helpdesk program, because the answer would be send to the address "error_email_to" and not to the user. Is there a way to get the real email address from the user who reported the error instead of this address ? Or, if it is not possible, could it be plan in the future galaxy release ? Or, eventually, if this is easy to do, what python file should I modify ? Best regards, Remy

History/Dataset UUID instead of integer ID?
by Ben Bimber 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello, I am working with blend4j and bioblend to interact with galaxy. In general, the API seems to require the UUID of a dataset/history, etc. I may be missing something obvious, but I am not finding great ways to obtain this from cheetah substitutions. For example, I can use ${history.id} or ${ output.id} to get the integer ID of that dataset/history. ${output.uuid} is not recognized. I am looking here as a reference: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/e73d90c94edc63d181c30bd1942918… https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/model/__init__.… and would have expected UUID to get exposed in some manner. Is there a standard way to obtain the UUID? Thanks, Ben

bam split and gatk calling
by Roberto Alonso CIPF 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello, I have been working in the Galaxy parallelization module and I would like to ask you some questions that I have about how to face one problem. I have done one pull request about splitting bams: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/184 Regarding this, I think it is useful but it could be more while accessing somehow the interval. I better explain it with an example: If I define a simple tool like this, with the parallelism tag "actived": <tool id="gatk" name="call with gatk"> <description>gatk</description> * <parallelism method="multi" split_mode="by_interval" split_size="100000000" merge_outputs="output" split_inputs="input" ></parallelism>* <command> ## by_rname ln -s $input input.bam; samtools index input.bam; UnifiedGenotyper -R /home/ralonso/BiB/Galaxy/data/hg19_ucsc.fa -I input.bam -o $output -L *REGION* ; </command> <inputs> <param format="bam" name="input" type="data" label="bam"/> </inputs> <outputs> <data format="vcf" name="output" /> </outputs> <help> bwa </help> </tool> The region is based on the field split_size, it is better explained in the PR. How does the code from the PR work? It goes through the bam file and does something like "samtools view *REGION *-o bam_splitted.bam", so then GATK does the calling for this small bam, but what is the problem? As you know, in the software GATK if you don't pass the region as an argument in the command line it goes through all the genome, so it is very slow. So, what would you recommend to me to be able to pass this information to GATK? I was thinking to create, at the same time the bam is splitted, a file region.bed and use it in the tool definition xml, so the command would be like this: <command> ... UnifiedGenotyper -R /home/ralonso/BiB/Galaxy/data/hg19_ucsc.fa -I input.bam -o $output -L *region.bed*; </command> This solution does not convince me too much because it is a bit intrusive in the tool definition and also because you have to trust that the *region.bed* file exists. Do you have any opinion, suggestion...? Thanks a lot!

Re: [galaxy-dev] find UUID of current history in tool XML wrapper?
by Dooley, Damion 05 May '15

About 1. find UUID of current history in tool XML wrapper? (Ben Bimber) 2. Re: find UUID of current history in tool XML wrapper? (John Chilton) I think this will work for you, I've simplified the code. I was able to do this somewhat circuitously (=bonfire of time) for my upcoming Versioned Data tool. In your tool XML definition file: <param name="history_id" display="radio" type="drill_down" dynamic_options="vdb_init_tool_user(__trans__)" /> ... <code file="versioned_data_form.py" /> Not sure if making history_id a hidden field would work (I seemed to recall __trans__ variable only exposed to select param). And in a script named versioned_data_form.py we have: def vdb_init_tool_user(trans): """ ... ALSO: squeezing history_id in this way since no other way to pass it. "trans" is provided only by tool form presentation via <code file="..."> ... """ history_id = str(trans.security.encode_id(trans.history.id)) items = [ { 'name': 'think of something to say here', 'value': history_id, 'options':[], 'selected': True } ] return items

Hello everyone, We are soon acquiring our cluster which has CentOS on the master node along with Bright Cluster Manager and workload manager. We are wondering if there is a guideline on how to install and support Galaxy on CentOS. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks ! Carlos.

Re. find UUID of current history in tool XML wrapper? (Ben Bimber)
by Dooley, Damion 05 May '15

05 May '15

I wanted to add that I have a niche justification for having UUID available in tool interface. My tool needed to scan user's current history in order to determine if user already had generated relevant datasets. If they didn't exist, my tool triggered the generation of them, and loaded them into user's current history. In other words, a caching system. Without the UUID, I'd theoretically have to scan a User's entire list of histories, looking for the cacheable data, and that is error prone too. (A history dataset caching mechanism also becomes a step towards workflows that have checkpoints, that can be restarted at a checkpoint). Damion

Problem adding system build for visualization
by Fourie Joubert 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi Folks I am trying to add a custom genome so that all users can choose it as reference in trackster (and others). When I go to " Show loaded, system-installed builds <javascript:void(0);>" the build is listed, but it does not appear in the trackster reference build drop-down list. I have provided the fasta file and 2bit file. I have built the necessary indices for bowtie, bwa, etc. using the data managers... builds.txt is: #Egrandis Eucalyptus grandis 297v2 (Egrandis) (Egrandis) I have provided the lengths file as: tool-data/shared/ucsc/chrom/Egrandis.len twobit.loc is #Egrandis tool-data/shared/Eucalyptus/2bit/Egrandis.2bit Have I missed a step to make it show up in the trackster reference build drop-down? Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Best regards!

find UUID of current history in tool XML wrapper?
by Ben Bimber 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hello, I am trying to pass the UUID or name of the current history to a script as part of a tool XML wrapper. I was hoping some substitution like ${output.hid}, ${history_id} or similar would give this, but have not had luck. Is there an approach to do this? On a related note: does anyone have debugging tips or pointers to code that would help me figure out which substitutions galaxy will support? The tool wrapper docs list some; however, this isnt complete. Thanks in advance, Ben
