Hi, Also, if it is in fact a history id and you will be using 'hda', remember to use 'hist_id=<history_id>' instead of 'Test API History'. -Carlos On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 6:46 PM, Dannon Baker <dannonbaker@me.com> wrote:

Hi Thon,

You have the right idea about what's going wrong here.  Galaxy is trying to pull up a library dataset with the ID you specify, but it doesn't exist.

In this context, src refers to the 'type' of dataset input id, more specifically whether it's from a history or library.  'hda' indicates that the dataset is from a history, and 'ldda' is what you'll most likely use in the case of a library dataset.  If you browse the history and library API functionality, you'll see other methods for explicitly grabbing these ids.

My hunch is that you have an id from a history and that you should swap ldda to hda and give it another shot.  Definitely let me know if you run into more issues, though, and I'll help figure out what's going on.

Any ideas?

Also...I had a hard time finding out what I should use for the dataset source parameter "src" in "step=src=dataset_id" and just tried ldda, but would hope there is a little info on what this hda and ldda is?

One more question... How do I pass a string value to one of the workflow input steps? Is there an equivalent of ldda and hda, maybe "str".. So 38=str="Some value" Where could I find a list of the expected dataset sources? Thanks Thon On Feb 21, 2012, at 03:46 PM, Dannon Baker <dannonbaker@me.com> wrote:

Hi Dannon, I think he is referring to the dataset input key in the dictionary. Thon, I think this thread could be helpful: http://galaxy-development-list-archive.2308389.n4.nabble.com/Using-workflows... In summary, you want to ./display the workflow and get the keys for the inputs, then you can use <input_hey>=hda=<dataset_id> Hope it helps, Carlos On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 7:21 PM, Dannon Baker <dannonbaker@me.com> wrote:

There is no string input.  If the string you're looking for is, say, the name of a dataset what you'd do is make separate calls to the history and workflow API.

For example, if you had a history "My important history", and a dataset "My input dataset", and no knowledge of the id's (as you shouldn't' have to have, externally), it'd be three separate calls.  One to list histories, then you would programmatically grab the one you want ("My important history") and the ID associated with it.  Then you'd make a call to grab the contents of that history, from which you could extract the id of the dataset you had the name of.  And from there you know how to execute a workflow with that id (hda, in this case).

Ahh, I see what you're asking.  I thought you were referring to providing dataset inputs by name, my mistake. Currently running workflows through the API doesn't support defining inputs other than datasets, that is, it expects workflows to be fully pre-defined with nothing 'set at runtime' other than the input datasets. That said, this is something that's definitely on my plate to add, unless the community gets to it first, in which case I'll happily accept a pull request :) -Dannon On Feb 22, 2012, at 10:11 AM, Anthonius deBoer <thondeboer@me.com> wrote: Huh? I have many string inputs to some particular workflow steps...Those are parameters etc that need to be entered or chosen from a dropdown..How would we deal with those kinds of entries into a workflow in the API?
