Hi Greg, sorry, for my late response. I'm currently not in my lab with access to the server. I will mail you an example when I'm back, after GCC. Which cron service are you using? Cheers, Bjoern

(I'm resending this, it didn't seem to go through)

Hi Bjorn,

Could I have a look at your cron job for this? I'm not completely sure what to schedule.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

...

I'm trying to figure out how to reduce the data stored on the galaxy server.

I came across this page and it looks like data will get deleted if the history element gets deleted but I can't tell if this happens automatically or if I need to cron these scripts: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Purge%20Histories%20a...

Is there anything else I can do to clean up unused data?

No that should be sufficient. You need to run

python cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 60

with the different parameters ... -1 -2 -3 .... It will not happen automatically, i recommend you to set up a cron job that runs every week. You also may want to change the -d 60 to something less than 60.

...

Also is there a way a user can keep her history around as a record of what was done and be able to rerun it later, but still delete the actual data?

I don't think that is possible at the moment. Cheers, Bjoern

Thanks,
