NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise - A class to create Pise application objects.

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");

  # 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::AnalysisFactory::Pise is a class to create Pise application objects, that let you submit jobs on a Pise server.

  my $factory = new Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise(
                                              -email => 'me@myhome');

The email is optional (there is default one). It can be useful, though. Your program might enter infinite loops, or just run many jobs: the Pise server maintainer needs a contact (s/he could of course cancel any requests from your address...). And if you plan to run a lot of heavy jobs, or to do a course with many students, please ask the maintainer before.

The location parameter stands for the actual CGI location, except when set at the factory creation step, where it is rather the root of all CGI. There are default values for most of Pise programs.

You can either set location at:

1 factory creation:
  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise->new(
                                 -location => 'http://somewhere/Pise/cgi-bin',
                                 -email => 'me@myhome');
2 program creation:
  my $program = $factory->program('water', 
                           -location => 'http://somewhere/Pise/cgi-bin/water.pl'
                                  );
3 any time before running:
  $program->location('http://somewhere/Pise/cgi-bin/water.pl');
  $job = $program->run();
4 when running:
  $job = $program->run(-location => 'http://somewhere/Pise/cgi-bin/water.pl');

You can also retrieve a previous job results by providing its url:

  $job = $factory->job($url);

You get the url of a job by:

  $job->jobid;

new

 Title   : new()
 Usage   : my $program = Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise->new(
                               -location => 'http://somewhere/cgi-bin/Pise', 
                               -email => $email);
 Function: Creates a Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise object, which 
           function is to create interface object 
           (Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::program) for programs.
 Example :
 Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise.

program

 Title   : program()
 Usage   : my $program = Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise->program(
                             $program, 
                             -location => 'http://somewhere/cgi-bin/Pise',
                             -email => $email,
                             @params);
 Function: Creates a representation of a single Pise program.
 Example :
 Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::$program.

job

 Title   : job(url)
 Usage   : my $job = Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise->job(
              'http://somewhere/cgi-bin/Pise/tmp/dnapars/A3459687595869098');
 Function: Creates a previously run job by providing its jobid (url of 
           results).
 Example :
 Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseJob.
