Hi Micha, I did another test run with a non-root user, as you suggested and the import failed (see the exception). I have stated what I noticed below. Please check them out in addition to the suggestion by Nicklas ===================================== ===========NEW BATCH IMPORT ========= ===================================== zn =HG-U133A.cdf experiment: Experiment[id=6; name=New experiment] file selected: affyMicher.zip user = Dominic net.sf.basedb.core.ItemNotFoundException: Item not found: Directory[path=/home/d ominic/raw data] at net.sf.basedb.core.Directory.getIdFromPath(Directory.java:236) at net.sf.basedb.core.Directory.getByPath(Directory.java:179) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImport.unpackZipFile(BatchDataImport.java:143) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImport.importData(BatchDataImport.java:197) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImporter.run(BatchDataImporter.java:137) at net.sf.basedb.core.PluginExecutionRequest.invoke(PluginExecutionReque st.java:88) at net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.ja va:420) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
1. raw data sub directory must be created before hand for the import to work. 2. User Quota for files needs to be greater than the file size to be imported. If this is not done the import fails. These should either be specified in the documentation or better still handled in the code with appropriate messages. Also, despite creating an affy experiment with raw data type correctly specified, I got the ff exception: java.lang.Exception: Affymetrix data found but Experiment data type was specified as non-Affy at sbrn.base.BatchDataImport.importData(BatchDataImport.java:294) at sbrn.base.BatchDataImporter.run(BatchDataImporter.java:137) at net.sf.basedb.core.PluginExecutionRequest.invoke(PluginExecutionReque t.java:88) at net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.ja a:420) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Hope this helps. Thanks. Got to move on now. ¬Dominic ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
