Hi, Just out of interest - is your data changing that rapidly between releases that you need to reconfigure/rebuild the MartEditor XMLs each build?
We automatically rebuild our biomarts nightly, all we do is just re-run the SQL generated by MartBuilder (incorporating your new data) and reconfigure/restart your webserver.* If you want some more info i'd be happy to show you some of our build code. Thanks, Daz * This is a slightly simplified version. As our mart build takes a few hours, (and we don't want our mart to be offline for that long), we run the MartBuilder SQL into a slave/redundant database and then when we reconfigure/restart the webserver we point it at the new database, so we get the minimum amount of downtime we can running off a single apache instance.
