Jobs

Every long-running job in one list: BLAST searches, alignments, trees, Galaxy runs, literature reviews and background jobs from a chat’s sandbox.

What Jobs lists

Open Jobs in the sidebar. It lists the work that runs on after a chat turn ends, one row per job:

  • BLAST searches (protein, nucleotide, translated, tBLASTn and PSI-BLAST), multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees;
  • Galaxy tool runs and workflow invocations;
  • literature reviews;
  • background jobs in a chat’s sandbox, such as a docking run or a large alignment, with how long they have run so far.

Each row shows what ran, its status (Queued, Running, Done, Partly done, Failed, Cancelled or Paused), what it was asked and when. Studio outputs and site-design requests show their progress in their own places instead. Work that keeps running

Follow a job

All, Running, Done and Failed at the top filter the list, and the refresh button reloads it. While a job runs, the list updates on its own, so you can leave the page open or come back later.

Open a row to see its output and its actions: Open the chat that started it, and, once it is done, a link to the service’s own results page. A background job in a sandbox has Cancel job; it stops at once, and the files it has written stay in the chat’s sandbox.

A job that failed says This job did not finish, with the service’s own message under Details from the service. In the chat, the agent can read a failed Galaxy job’s error output and explain it. Galaxy Lab
