Dear Peter Thanks for your reply. I can import an html report (e.g. FastQC output) successfully into a new history from a data library. But the .dat file for the html is not empty like the one for the blastdb. Makes me think that I could do this with a blast db as well, if only it would not check for size 0 at the time of importing it. Thanks Ulf On 23/07/14 10:56, Peter Cock wrote:

Dear all
I have several smallish BLAST databases that I would like to provide in a data library. I create them in a history with the makeblastdb tool and them try to add them to the library. I see that for each blast db there is an empty file created (like /path/dataset_12345.dat) and a folder with the same name (/path/dataset_12345_files/) that contains the actual db files (blastdb.n*).
In my library the blastdb shows up empty and I cannot import it back to another history. I does not seem to be aware of the _files folder, despite it being the right data type (blastdbn).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help Ulf
Hi Ulf,
I've never tried that. It could be a bug in Galaxy importing composite datatypes into a library, or something in the BLAST database definition which needs fixing. Does importing an HTML report (with child files like images) into a library work for you? (This is another composite datatype so a useful comparison).
Rather than using Data Libraries, we just list all the locally installed shared BLAST databases via the BLAST *.loc files instead.
Note using the *.loc files makes the databases available to all the Galaxy users, while with a Data Library you can control access to specific groups/roles.
Regards,
Peter
