Has anyone done a tool part of which simply takes in a data collection and 
provides it (symlinked) in a corresponding output data collection?  We have a 
quality control tool that enables us to stop workflow, preventing subsequent 
jobs to be run if a problem has been detected.  Currently our tool only 
sym-links through an individual dataset.  It would be great if it could work on 
a whole data collection of any sort.

I see there’s a <collections> tag now – is there an easy solution using this – 
and that doesn’t loose metadata?

<collection name=“genericCollectionSymlink" label=“Workflow datasets”>
   <discover_datasets pattern=???????????? visible="true"  
......................?????????
</collection>

At moment we use parameters for format_source="workflow_files" 
metadata_source=“workflow_files” to pass through all the info on an input 
dataset...

<inputs>
   …
   <param name="workflow_files" type="data" optional="True" multiple=“False" 
label="Workflow data" help="Select dataset(s) that subsequent workflow stages 
can consume if report status is not fail'." />
</inputs>
<outputs>
   <data name="workflow_files_pass" format_source="workflow_files" 
label="Workflow datasets"  metadata_source="workflow_files” >
      <filter>(workflow_files)</filter>
   </data>
</outputs>


Much obliged!
