Hi All ! I'm new in the mailing list and I want to say hello to everyones I want to use some EMBOSS apps as services in a Taverna workflow, but they failed in some cases, I suppose when I use "too many" sequences or alignments as inputs!! Could you tell me if there are some specific limits and what they are?! Especially about "emma", "fproml" and "fneighbor" services !
The applications are limited only by the resources of the machines they run on. The applications you mention are not pure EMBOSS applications. Emma is a wrapper for clustalw. fproml and fneighbor are from PHYLIP 3.6. They may have their own limits but they are large.
When using Taverna and the SoapLab services you may reach a timeout limit on the services. I see Mahmut Uludag has already replied on the taverna mailing list with a fix for that.
SoapLab services for Taverna use machines with large enough resources for most jobs.
If you find an example where you have reached a limit, please send it to [email protected]
It may be simply a large input or a long calculation - but we can try to improve the application to make it faster or to use less memory.
