Hello all,

I am trying to configure an Asynchronous tool (I can get it to work synchronously).

My configuration looks something like this for the tool:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <tool name="mytoolname" id="myunique_tool_id_1" tool_type="data_source_async"> <description>mytool description</description> <command interpreter="python">data_source.py $output $__app__.config.output_size_limit</command> <inputs action="http://myurl" check_values="false" method="post"> <display>Go to MyTool $GALAXY_URL</display> </inputs> <request_param_translation> <request_param galaxy_name="URL_method" remote_name="URL_method" missing="post" /> <request_param galaxy_name="URL" remote_name="URL" missing="" /> <request_param galaxy_name="jobname" remote_name="jobname" missing="N/A" /> </request_param_translation> <uihints minwidth="800"/> <outputs> <data name="output" format="zip" /> </outputs> <options sanitize="False" refresh="True"/> </tool>

This works fine and downloads the data, but I was expecting Galaxy to post another GALAXY_URL parameter for me to generate the data and than post back to Galaxy once done. This is described here...

http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Internals/Data%20Sources

However, I never receive “another” GALAXY_URL as descripbed in Step 1 of the Asynchronous data depositing section.

I am using the most recent version of Galaxy.

Can someone please show an example?

Matt
