General workflow launching information
Listing available workflows
Workflows installed on the CLC Server are listed when the clcserver command is run with the required information for logging in but without the -A flag specified. E.g.
clcserver -S <server> -U <username> -W <password or token>
Configuring parameter values in a workflow
To see the configurable parameters for a given workflow, run the above command with the workflow name after -A, i.e. a command of the form:
clcserver -S <server> -U <username> -W <password or token> -A <workflow-name>
Workflow authors decide which parameters are configurable when launching a workflow, and which are not. Non-configurable parameters are those that have been locked in the workflow design. Configurable parameters are not locked. For further details, see https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Basic_configuration_workflow_elements.html.
Parameter name uniqueness in workflows
The name of parameters within workflows are unique. This is ensured in 2 ways:
- Each parameter name includes the name of the workflow element it is associated with and every element in a workflow has a unique name.
- If parameter names within a workflow element are identical, numbers are appended to those names for use with the CLC Server Command Line Tools.
Although this ensures parameter names are unique, we recommend that duplicate parameter names within a given workflow element are avoided to minimize confusion. Editing parameter names is described at https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Basic_configuration_workflow_elements.html
