Hello all,
We're currently looking at changing our Galaxy setup to link user accounts with Linux user accounts for better cluster integration (running jobs as the actual user on SGE). As part of this, we've tried setting up a fresh installation on a new VM which has thrown up some issues.
First of all, what is the status of the old set_metadata_externally setting? This is described on the legacy documentation page as required under "Submitting Jobs as the Real User",
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster/Legacy
Unfortunately, the same text is still present on the current page:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster/
According to the GitHub search, set_metadata_externally no longer exists in the code or default settings files:
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/search?q=set_metadata_externally
I eventually tracked this down to the following commit, first included in Galaxy v13.06, back when the config file was universe_wsgi.ini rather than config/galaxy.ini,
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/commit/68065e123800a5a2e700d636db935...
So, can we assume that metadata is now always set externally, and should the wiki be updated accordingly?
Thanks,
Peter
