Your best bet is start with the history import/export code (in the UI: History Options --> Export to File; in the code base: export_history.py, history_imp_exp.py) and see if you can modify that do what you want. Best, J. On May 18, 2012, at 2:22 PM, Jean-Francois Payotte wrote:

Hi,

I am new to galaxy but I've been asked to implement some kind of tool which would automatically export the history details (the information we can find when hitting the 'view details' button) to a file, for an entire workflow. Let's say we run some analyses using some workflow, the basic idea (if that is possible) would be to insert the new tool at the end of the workflow, specifying an output directory, and this new tool would extract only history details and would save it to a file in the specified directory.

Right now, I have no idea if that's even possible, and if it is, I am not sure where to start. I tried searching the mailing-list archive.. but I couldn't find answers to my problem. So if someone could point me in any direction to help me achieve this kind of tool, that would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Jean-François
