How to capture a share link to a Workflow Invocation

Hello! I have been testing my workflows and recently my jobs (using Shovill and GTDB-tk) are stuck. I tried waiting overnight and they are still queued. I am not sure if this is just due to server load or my workflows have a problem.

You are also welcome to share a link to the Workflow Invocation as that would provide everything all at once – the workflow, the current status, and the outputs! Please find the button to generate a share link at the top of the invocation view.

Both of those tools will normally queue as queued-gray-datasets for a spot on the clusters. Given the type of jobs (assembly and a form of annotation), these may take bit longer than other tools. You can check here to see how many are currently queued or executing for each tool. → How to see the UseGalaxy.eu job queue statistics

Then, the shared history link wasn’t generated in a way that we can see the details. The EU team will be on soon in their time zone, so if you want to try to post it back again for more feedback, this is how. → FAQ: Sharing your History

Thanks for updating the link!

The workflow and sub-workflows look good technically! The work is seems to be just queued.

One way to confirm is to check the statistics here.

And that page can be a bit confusing, so here is what I would suggest looking at

  1. Is my tool in the list of queued jobs? This was Yes for Shovill. There are about 80. Yours is very likely in that group!

  1. Is my tool running for anyone else or is everyone queued? For Shovill again, Yes, it is running for some people. The numbers here are metrics that are not that important, so as long as you can find your tool in here, it is running for someone!

  1. Then let’s pull out the job ID number in case we need an EU administrator later on. Job API ID 4838ba20a6d867651a8fa176d53b65fe.

My suggestions:

For workflow testing, using the smallest representative data possible can help these to process quicker. Some administrators will route small and large jobs differently, and this ruleset changes over time and due to demand. But, in general, smaller jobs are likely to process quicker. (Anyone interested in the default rules can review here).

Hope that helps to frame what is going on! Let us know if this queues for another full day please and the EU admins will see it and probably provide more specific feedback about your exact job. :slight_smile:

I’m wondering if you had starting this workflow up a few times, so those other runs are processing, but I also think you have likely checked this already!

And let’s see what can be done @User37363 by asking the EU administrators. ping @wm75 what do you think?

Hi @User37363

No problem, I removed the share link to your invocation! I never had a copy, we were just abstracting for the rest.

Glad you have this working now! :slight_smile:
