Hi Julie! The action resolves at the completion time of the job it is attached to, deleting datasets of any other already-completed jobs in that workflow which are not marked as an output step (with a highlighted snowflake). This will *not* delete datasets of any job marked as an output. Perhaps the confusion is that they're also marked as 'hidden' since they are not output steps? The general use-case for this is to put it on one of the 'final' steps of a workflow (or multiple if you have a workflow with two long parallel tracks) to clean up and delete datasets from intermediate jobs (which have already completed) that you don't want to save as an output. -Dannon On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 4:03 AM, julie dubois <dubjulie@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all, I'm not sure how do this post-action act . I've been make some test and it's very confused for me.
First, can this post-action be used on output which are used on other steps of the workflow ? if yes, I suppose that galaxy wait for end of use of this output before deleting.
Second, must I higlight the snowfalke of this output to permit its deletion or must I keep the snowflake in grey ?
I post this question in galaxy-dev because I've added this post-action on several outputs in my workflow and it has had no effect on my outputs. And when I open the .ga file which describe my workflow, I've seen just one of this post-action in one output.
Thanks.
