Hello Arek,

 

Thank you for the reply.  In my case the two tables contain identical data
structures but for different species so a group sounds like what I want.
How do I setup a group that shares the same structure?  Right now if I group
the two configs (access points) I still need to setup each config and in the
end I am unable to switch between the two in the website (martwizard).

 

Thanks again,

 

Jayson

Hi Jayson,

yes, i agree with you that the current naming convention requires some
tidying up. We are aware of this but the clean up did not make to rc6 so you
will have to put up with this for a while longer. To shed some light on
this:

 

Unlike 0.7, the 0.8 does not allow for multiple datasets to reside in one
mart unless they behave like a group ei datasets  sharing the same filters
and attributes: (example: species in ensembl or cancer types in ICGC).
"config" is being replaced by "access point". Access point describes the
configuration of a dataset (or a group of datasets if they reside in one
mart).

Hello again Biomart developers,

 

I'm having issues understanding the dataset/database naming convention in
0.8.  I have two mysql tables in one mysql database.  I would like to add
these two tables to BioMart as two separate datasets in one database.  By
default when I add these two data tables and create two corresponding
configs they have the same dataset name (named after the database) and
different database names (config names).  This is opposite of what I would
like.  If I group these two configs they appear to have the same database
name and dataset name.  I can then rename the datasets under "Data Source
Management", which appears to work, but I am unable to change datasets in
the mart wizard.  I've tried renaming the dataset in various other places
without any luck.  Overall I'm confused regarding the naming conventions
here. config name, dataset name, source name, group.  Any help?

 

Thank you,

 

Jayson
