Hi group,

The galaxy stores the output of the job on files/043/dataset_ID.dat.

I have two questions here.:

1) Can I find the ID of my output from the Galaxy history? I tried Edit Attributes, Annotations, tags but couldn't find it.

Via the "i" icon of a history entry (information) you can see the datafile's full path which includes the ID.

2) Can I rename my output while initiating the task? If I can how can I do this and what are the consequences.

Yes, you can. Normally this is fine. (Note sure if there can be complications with meta-data normally added automatically by inspecting the finished file...) Peter
