Bug #5426
closedworkflow lsid changes when running from command line
0%
Description
There are two problems that occur when running a workflow from the command line and specifying a non-default parameter value.
The first is that the revision is always incremented if the parameter value is the same:
./kepler.sh -runwf -nogui -x 4 ~/KeplerData/paramx.xml
WF LSID is urn:lsid:kepler-project.org/ns/:6018:25:2
./kepler.sh -runwf -nogui -x 4 ~/KeplerData/paramx.xml
WF LSID is urn:lsid:kepler-project.org/ns/:6018:25:3
The second is that if .kepler and KeplerData/modules/core/coreDB do not exist, a new LSID is used:
./kepler.sh -runwf -nogui -x 4 ~/KeplerData/paramx.xml
WF LSID is urn:lsid:kepler-project.org/ns/:6020:1:1
For desktop use, .kepler and KeplerData usually do not get deleted, but when executing on a cluster, these directories are not always available. This causes problems for provenance, e.g., the same workflow run on 10 different nodes will be identified as 10 different workflows instead of 10 runs of the same workflow.
