Use of reference data in external applications
The reference data manager can export a reference data set to an import/export location for use in external applications. The manual for Biomedical Genomics Workbench explains how to do this using the Biomedical Genomics Workbench. However, some configuration needs to be carried out on the CLC Genomics Server, in order for this to work seamlessly.
Reference Data Sets are exported to a file system folder structure which, relative to some import/export folder, is equivalent to the folder structure below CLC_References. This convention makes it possible for an external application to access reference data based on a CLC URL in object name form.
Therefore the server needs to have at least one import/export location set-up, otherwise it is not possible to export reference data. The import/export location can be set-up in the thin client for the CLC Server.
