NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob - A class to manage Pise jobs.

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise;

  # Build a Pise factory       
  my $factory = new Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise();

  # Then create an application object (Pise::Run::Tools::PiseApplication):
  my $program = $factory->program('genscan');

  # Set parameters
  $program->seq($ARGV[0]);

  # Next, run the program
  # (notice that you can set some parameters at run time)
  my $job = $program->run(-parameter_file => "Arabidopsis.smat");

  my $job = $program->run(-seq => $ARGV[0]);

  # Test for submission errors:
  if ($job->error) {
     print "Job submission error (",$job->jobid,"):\n";
     print $job->error_message,"\n";
     exit;
  }

  # Get results
  print STDERR $job->content('genscan.out');
  # or:
  my $result_file = $job->save('genscan.out');

DESCRIPTION

Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob class handles a specific job state and results. A Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob instance should be created by a subclass of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication class, e.g Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::genscan or Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::dnapars, ... (see Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication class) :

  my $job = Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob->new($self, $self->{VERBOSE});

This class may also be used as a mean to get informations about a running job, or to get results after a long computation:

  my $job = Bio::Factory::Pise->job($url);
  print $job->content('infile.aln');

Once the job is created, you can get results:

  foreach my $result ($job->get_results) {
    print $job->content($result);
    $job->save($result, "myfile"); # $job->save($result) keeps the name
    print $job->stdout;            # print job standard output
    print $job->stderr;            # print job standard error
  }

You can feed a result file as a filehandle to a bioperl parser :

  my $parser = Bio::Tools:Genscan->new (-fh => $job->fh('genscan.out'));
  my $parser = Bio::Tools:BPlite->new (-fh => $job->fh('blast2.txt'));

... or to another pise job:

  my $neighbor = $factory->program ('neighbor',
                                    -infile => $job->fh('outfile'));

You can lookup up for a type of result that could be piped to another Pise program:

  my $matrix = $job->lookup_piped_file('phylip_dist');

returns the url of the just calculated Phylip distances matrix file, produced by e.g DNADIST or PROTDIST.

All the available pipe types may be obtained by:

    $job->lookup_piped_files;

new

 Title   : new()
 Usage   : $job = Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob->new($application, $verbose);
 Function: Creates a Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob object. 
           This is normally called by an application object
           - i.e a subclass of the Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication class, 
           for submitting a job. 
           This method actually submit the job and parse results.
 Example :
 Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob.

verbose

 Title   : verbose()
 Usage   : $program->verbose(1);
 Function: Ask the object to tells more.
 Example :
 Returns : 

job

 Title   : job()
 Usage   : $job = Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob->job(url);
 Function: Creates a Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob object from an already 
           run job by giving the url of the job result page.
           May also be called through Bio::Factory::Pise->job(url);
 Example :
 Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob.

jobid

 Title   : jobid()
 Usage   : $job->jobid();
 Function: Returns the url of the job result page.
 Example :
 Returns : 

error

 Title   : error()
 Usage   : $job->error();
 Function: Tells if the job has been successfully run. This is the case 
           when the job has been submitted, but the Pise server has 
           detected user errors (missing mandatory parameter, unallowed 
           value,...). This also happen when the user provided an
           invalid url, or the http request could not be submitted.
           See method error_message().

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE/FALSE

error_message

 Title   : error_message()
 Usage   : $job->error_message();
 Function: Returns the error message.
 Example :
 Returns : A string.

get_results

 Title   : get_results()
 Usage   : $job->get_results();
 Function: Provides the urls of the result files.
 Example :
 Returns : A list of urls.

get_pipes

 Title   : get_pipes()
 Usage   : $job->get_pipes($result);
 Function: Provides the names of the programs that can use this type of
           result. $result is an url, that can be provided through the
           get_results method.
 Example :
 Returns : A list of program names.

piped_file_type

 Title   : piped_file_type()
 Usage   : $job->piped_file_type($result);
 Function: Provides the Pise type of $result. $result is an url, 
           that can be provided through the get_results method.
 Example :
 Returns : A Pise pipetype name.

lookup_piped_files

 Title   : lookup_piped_files()
 Usage   : $pipe_types = $job->lookup_piped_files();
 Function: Returns the pipe types produced by the job
           (e.g:  phylip_tree, seqsfile, readseq_ok_alig, ...). 
           You have to call lookup_piped_file($type) to get the actual
           correponding result file.
 Example :
 Returns : A string.

lookup_piped_file

 Title   : lookup_piped_file(type)
 Usage   : $result = $job->lookup_piped_file($type);
 Function: Returns the name of the result file of pipe type $type 
           (e.g:  phylip_tree, seqsfile, readseq_ok_alig, ...). $result 
           is an url.

           $filename = $job->save($result, $name);
 Function: Save the result in a file. $result is an url, 
           that can be provided through the get_results method. You can
           provide your own filename. By default, the file name will be
           the same as the result name.
 Example :
 Returns : A file name.

content

 Title   : content()
 Usage   : $s = $job->content($result);
 Function: Provides the content of $result. $result is an url, 
           that can be provided through the get_results method. 
           By default, $result is the standard output.
 Example :
 Returns : A string.

stdout

 Title   : stdout()
 Usage   : print $job->stdout();
 Function: Provides the content of the job standard output. 
 Example :
 Returns : A string.

stderr

 Title   : stderr()

           Be aware that you must re-ask for it for a subsequent use. For
           instance, if you first use it for an input parameter:
             my $program = Pise::program->new ( ...,
                                              file => $previous_job->fh('..'),

             my $job = $program->run;

           A subsequent run of the same object: will need a re-initialization:
             $program->file($previous_job->fh('..'));
             my $job2 = $program->run;

 Example :
 Returns : A filehandle.
