Personally I tend to work with $GALAXY/tool-data/*.loc (and ignore the tool shed installed copies in their cryptically named folders) but this reflects in part the fact that this used to be the only copy of the file, and that's just what I always did.

If you use a data manager, I don't know which copy it updates - but the merging design is meant to hide these details I suppose.

Dear list,

I still have problems to get my head around tool data. Lets consider diamond for example (lets ignore data managers for the moment). After installation it seems that there are two relevant xml files:

• `config/shed_tool_data_table_conf.xml`

`tool-data/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diamond/64be1ac21109/tool_data_table_conf.xml`

and two loc files:

• `tool-data/diamond_database.loc`

`tool-data/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diamond/64be1ac21109/diamond_database.loc`

In both xml files the latter loc file is referenced. And therefor the tool-data/diamond_database.loc file is seemingly ignored.

What is the rational to have a loc and xml file for each tool version? It seems that they are merged upon startup anyway.

What would be the best way to administrate a single tool loc file?

Cheers, Matthias

Hi Matthias,

I'm getting out of my depth here - but if tool-data/xxx.loc is being ignored, you may need to enable this by adding the XML data table entries from the relevant tool_data_table_conf.xml.sample file for tool xxx to $GALAXY/config/tool_data_table_conf.xml.

At least, that's what I had to do and documented recently here: https://github.com/abaizan/kodoja_galaxy/commit/2cd7579a15887ae4ffdc5ab3a346...

Again, this may be me sticking to old pre-tool shed habits - so I'd like to hear how other people manage their *.loc files, especially when doing hand editing to add entries.

Hi Peter,

then the I need to update all the paths in:

`config/shed_tool_data_table_conf.xml`?

Because currently the $GALAXY/tool-data/*.loc files are ignored in my instance.

For me it looks like a bug (caused by a misconfiguration?) that there are all xml files refer to the same loc file.

Wouldn't this be more useful:

• config/shed_tool_data_table_conf.xml -> tool-data/diamond_database.loc

tool-data/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diamond/64be1ac21109/tool_data_table_conf.xml -> tool-data/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diamond/64be1ac21109/diamond_database.loc

Best, Matthias
