Good afternoon John,

We are running a self defined workflow in Galaxy and have a unique history for each dataset we are working on.  This workflow is run repeatedly to tackle an entire dataset, requiring the user the use Galaxy multiple times with other steps outside of Galaxy.

The user enters via a web app, and we would like to bring the user into their Galaxy account with the correct history loaded for the dataset they are trying to process.

Is there a way to specify the history when starting Galaxy, not just use the last one from the previous session?

Thanks,

Bob

Can you please elaborate on what will be driving this? You can
certainly create a history and run jobs with the API. It sounds like
what you want though is an external web application or something that
will have a link to create a new history for the current users's
session. I'm not sure this is currently supported since this wouldn't
involve the API but it can probably be hacked together for your
application.
