Workflow execution#

After the WGS-Germline-Snps-Indels workflow is registered in the SeqsLab tool registry, the next step is to submit a workflow run.

Objective#

This tutorial will help you execute a job.

Prerequisites#

Before you begin, you will need the following:

1. Create a run request file#

Use the following jobs request command to create a run request file that includes all the workflow run configuration:

seqslab jobs request \
    --run-name testdrive \
    --working-dir `pwd` \
    --execs GATK-Germline-Snps-Indels/execs/gatk.parallel.hg19.0713.execs.json \
    --workflow-url \
        "https://testdrive.seqslab.net/trs/v2/tools/${TOOL_ID}/versions/1.0/WDL/files/" \
    --runtimes \
        GermlineSnpsIndelsGatk4Hg19=acu-m64l

2. Submit a workflow run#

Use the following jobs run command to submit a workflow run:

seqslab jobs run \
    --workspace "${WORKSPACE}" \
    --working-dir `pwd` \
    --response-path run.json

A JSON file indicating the run_id and run_name will be returned. Use the JSON file to check the status and result of the workflow run.

cat `pwd`/run.json
[
    {
        "run_id": "yourRunID",
        "run_name": "testdrive"
    }
]

3. Check the job run status#

After the workflow run is submitted, use the jobs run-state command to check the status of the workflow run:

seqslab jobs run-state --run-id "yourRunID"

When the workflow run reaches the COMPLETE state, use the jobs get command to obtain the detailed information of the workflow run:

seqslab jobs get --run-id "yourRunID"

The response contains an output section describing all the output files of the workflow run, and a logs section describing the execution details of all WDL workflows and tasks.

4. Download the results#

All the resulting files generated by the workflow run will be registered on the SeqsLab platform. If you want to further investigate the data, you can get the URIs reported in the outputs section of the run.json file.

For example, the URIs for the WDL FQNs GermlineSnpsIndelsGatk4.outFileVCF and GermlineSnpsIndelsGatk4.outFileBam are drs://testdrive.seqslab.net/drs_ibLt5Yf5sGqq0UD and drs://testdrive.seqslab.net/drs_C5rmw6tL8DRv6IS, respectively.

Lastly, use the datahub download command to download the output files.

To download the GermlineSnpsIndelsGatk4.outFileVCF file, use the following command:

seqslab datahub download \
    --workspace "${WORKSPACE}" \
    --dst ~/Downloads/ \
    --uri "drs://testdrive.seqslab.net/drs_ibLt5Yf5sGqq0UD"

To download the GermlineSnpsIndelsGatk4.outFileBam file, use the following command:

seqslab datahub download \
    --workspace "${WORKSPACE}" \
    --dst ~/Downloads/ \
    --uri "drs://testdrive.seqslab.net/drs_C5rmw6tL8DRv6IS"
