Opening Galaxy with a specified History Name
To all, I would like to open a Galaxy session programmatically (schedule Galaxy with their user name and password) and have the Galaxy session open with a history name I specify. So if there was work done previously under that history name, those output files will appear in the history window -- without the user having to change the history name manually to see them. Is this possible? 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. -John On Sat, Sep 5, 2015 at 8:17 PM, <rbrown1422@comcast.net> wrote:

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?

It looks like you can specify a tool or workflow to jump straight to but not a history. The following pull request (https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/725) extends this functionality to include histories. You will need the encoded history ID as returned by the workflow and history API to use this - e.g. on my test laptop the following URL worked to switch histories after applying the patch in the pull request - http://localhost:8080/root?history_id=1cd8e2f6b131e892. Hope this helps, -John On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 6:23 PM, <rbrown1422@comcast.net> wrote:
