Hello Jennifer, Thanks for your reply. I'll check the URL you gave. I will go in detail about the local database. I think as we are going to use our own genome browser mirror, the database for custom track should also be included as well and we will be able to "monitor" files lifetime somehow. Thanks for your advice ... and the wiki link
Yes, I will let you know if I need more help.

Here is a prior mailing list answer that has the url syntax and a link out to a reference for escaping characters in a url. The user who asked this question was doing something different, but the general guidelines apply for bigDataUrl as well. https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2008-April/015997.html For custom tracks databases, you can set up how files are "cleaned". This can be adjusted to meet your time requirements. A link to the process is here: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Using_custom_track_database#Cleaner _script Please let us know if you need more help, Jennifer --------------------------------- Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group http://genome.ucsc.edu/ On 2/19/10 4:35 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Hello All, > > > > To date, when we want to add a custom track to the Genome Browser using > BAM file, we can enter in the bigDataURL field a HTTP or FTP location as > address where the BAM file and its pair-indexed file are. > > We are going to install locally a mirror of the UCSC Genome Browser. > > Then, we are going to create and add Custom Tracks to this mirror but > locally. > > Is there any possibility to give the address of file on a machine from a > local network (such as > /mymachine/bam_folder/MyBAMs/exp002/mybamfile.bam) into this bigDataUrl > field ? > > > > In the meantime, is it possible to customized the lifetime of the tracks > within the local Genome Browser Mirror in order to get more than 48 > hours storage? > > > > Thanks for your replies > > Best Regards, > > Dr Christophe LEGENDRE > > TGen, PHX, USA > > > > _______________________________________________ > Genome maillist - [email protected] > https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
