Cloud Plugin latest improvements

Cloud Plugin 21.0.2

Released on May 5, 2021

The presentation of options in the Workbench wizard for submitting jobs to the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine (GCE) have been improved. Of note is the new label for submitting to GCE via a CLC Genomics Server: “CLC Genomics Cloud Engine (via CLC Server)”. Previously it was “CLC Server Cloud”.
Various minor improvements

Fixed an issue where data from BaseSpace could not be imported via a CLC Genomics Server without entering valid AWS credentials in the Cloud Server Plugin settings. No credentials are required for import from BaseSpace.

Released on February 22, 2021

Fixed an issue that could cause jobs submitted to the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine that involved many input objects or many iterations to fail with an error including the message “Argument List Too Long”.

Released on January 12, 2021

Data stored in Illumina BaseSpace can be imported directly into the CLC Genomics Workbench or CLC Genomics Server when using relevant NGS importers, either directly or using on-the-fly import in workflows.
CLC Workbench users with the Cloud Plugin installed can submit workflows to CLC Genomics Cloud Engine that contain external application elements. A local CLC Genomics Server is required for configuring such external applications.

The machine size to use when executing a workflow on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine can now be selected when launching the workflow. This replaces the earlier job priority option.
When launching a workflow to run on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine, an S3 location for saving workflow outputs can be specified. Previously, only the location to save exported results could be specified.
An option to cancel jobs, either individually or all jobs in a batch, has been added to the Cloud Job Search tool.
Improved stability when uploading large amounts of data to CLC Genomics Cloud Engine through a CLC Workbench.
History information is available in log elements generated by workflows run on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine.
It is no longer necessary to enter a CLC Genomics Cloud Engine URL in the Cloud Configuration dialog to be able to submit jobs to the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine via a cloud-enabled CLC Genomics Server.
Cloud Job Search can now be used from CLC Workbenches where the cloud connection is not configured through the Workbench and authentication is done via a a cloud-enabled CLC Genomics Server.
The CLC Genomics Cloud Engine login dialog has been updated.

Cloud preset configurations in the CLC Server web administrative interface now allow configuration of hardware requirements for each cloud preset.

Fixed an issue that prevented browsing S3 locations through a proxy server.
Fixed an issue where an error could arise shortly after a very large number of samples were submitted to the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine in batch mode from a CLC Genomics Workbench.
Fixed an issue that could cause filtering the table in the Cloud Job Search tool to fail with an error.
Fixed an issue, where a track list generated by a workflow executed in the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine would refer to “unresolved track” after downloading the track list element to the local CLC Genomics Workbench or CLC Genomics Server.
Fixed an issue where shutting down the CLC Workbench could cancel jobs submitted in batch mode to the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine.
Fixed issues relating to the naming and placement of outputs specified using output name placeholders (such as {input:2}) that affected workflows containing Iterate elements.
Fixed an issue where keeping the Cloud Configuration dialog open while launching workflows to run on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine could result in not being able to save updates made to the cloud configuration.
Fixed an issue that could result in missing metadata values in the Workflow Result Metadata table produced by workflows run on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine. This affected some workflows containing multiple Iterate elements when on-the-fly import was used.

Released on June 15, 2020

Cloud Job Search can now be used from the CLC Workbench in cases where the cloud connection is not configured through the Workbench and authentication is done via a a cloud-enabled CLC Server.
It is no longer necessary to enter the URL of the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine in the Cloud Configuration dialog in order to submit jobs to the cloud through a cloud-enabled CLC Server.

Fixed an issue that could cause filtering to fail in the Cloud Job Search table.
Fixed an issue where keeping the Cloud Configuration dialog open while running workflows could result in not being able to save the changed configuration.
Fixed an issue that could result in missing metadata values in the Workflow Result Metadata table produced by workflows run on the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine. This affected some workflows containing multiple Iterate elements when on-the-fly import was used.
Fixed an issue where an error could arise shortly after a very large number of samples were submitted at once with the “Batch” checkbox checked in the CLC Workbench wizard.
