Hey Marc,

Yep, the '38' in this case is the step id shown just after "steps", but it would be an id listed in that 'inputs' dict.  The inputs dictionary should be a list of all the "Input Dataset" steps for the workflow -- yours just doesn't have any and you'll need to add these to be able to map input datasets to the correct workflow input steps.

Currently there's not a good way to tweak the tool parameter dict at execution time for workflows via the API.  Unless you want to create new stored workflows on the fly with the correct parameters (via the API), you'll need to fully define workflows and not leave any 'set at runtime' parameters.  The plan *is* to eventually allow both tools and workflows to set arbitrary parameters at execution time, but this functionality isn't available yet.

Hi,

I was trying to run workflows from the command line using workflow_execute.py in /scripts/api.

According to the documentation, the commandline should look like:

python workflow_execute.py <api_key> <galaxy_url>/api/workflows f2db41e1fa331b3e 'hist_id=a912e9e5d84530d4' '38=hda=03501d7626bd192f

 

I understand that ‘hda’ refers to the src of the input data, in this case being the history. However, it is not clear to me what 38 is actually referring to. Is it the step number ?

Is it the id shown in the JSON response code of <galaxy_url/api/workflows/<workflow id> ?

E.g “535” in:

{"url": "/galaxy/api/workflows/f7bb1edd6b95db62", "inputs": {}, "steps": {"535": {"tool_id": "iep", "input_steps": {}, "type": "tool", "id": 535}}, "id": "f7bb1edd6b95db62", "name": "test_workflow"}

 

What is “inputs” and  why is its value empty {} ?

If a tool step has multiple input parameters, how can you refer to the correct parameter using the ‘step=src=id’ syntax ?

 

Thanks,

Marc
