Dear all, Would it be possible somehow to not only export a single history of a user (to file) but also all histories of a user in one go. Or even all user-bound histories/settings and such? I would like to import them into another galaxy instance (basically from our internal development (galaxy_central) server to our public production (galaxy-dist) server), but going over them one-by-one will be a laborious task. Both instances are up-to-date. I do have admin access to both the galaxy instances (as we own them) so admin bound tools and/or possibilities from commandline would be suitable as well. Since I am unsure where it fits in the user-list or dev-list I cross-posted to both (sorry). Thanks in advance! Alex
(New feature discussion belong on the -dev list.) This is not possible now but is pretty simple to do in the future: (a) abstract the import/export history functionality into the UsesHistoryMixin; and (b) make import/export available via the API. I've made a Trello card for this: https://trello.com/c/qhu1KdWU Best, J. On Nov 29, 2012, at 8:36 AM, Bossers, Alex wrote:

Jeremy Thanks for the reply and the "card" :-) Didn't know if it was there or not so that's why the crosspost. I was thinking whether I could establish the same from using the DB access directly!? Or would that be too dangerous? In the past I have tried to transfer the user tables from an old instance into a fresh one....but failed due to all sorts of unpredictable errors..

We (the Galaxy team) do not recommend that you modify the database directly; there's just too much going on (keys, relationships, etc) to ensure that things go smoothly. In fact, the whole point of the API is to provide a high-level, programmer interface so that developers do not have to work at a low (e.g. database) level. If you were going to write some code, you'd be best to try extending the API to support what you want. Should you get history import/export working, we'd be happy to incorporate it in the Galaxy source. Best, J.
