ok, following Christian's piece of advice/explaination (creating a *_new
instance_*) made it work although I have some bugs I will check tomorrow.
My only worry about global-parameters was that the initial proposal implied
a {/name_of_param} path that doesn't work for now (I did not look into the
code though).
I also have a pretty complicated (long) pipeline (pasted below but now with
the use of input modules, so everything prefixed by "baepp" may be also a
global parameter), and use of global parameters with level 6 depth in the
path kept failing : {../../../../../../taminoserver}. I tried step by step,
every level. Anyway it was unreadable this way... and I could not reach my
XML database. How strange.
Sorry I am not very knowledgeable :-(
