FAQPage Schema
How do I check my Pegasus workflow for common configuration errors before submission?

To review a Pegasus workflow for common configuration errors, analyze workflow generator scripts, wrapper scripts, Dockerfiles, and configuration files against Pegasus WMS standards. This automated review identifies critical runtime failures and best practice violations.

What types of files do I need to prepare for a Pegasus workflow review?

A Pegasus workflow review analyzes workflow generator scripts, wrapper scripts, Dockerfiles, and configuration files. Providing these files allows the review to evaluate Transformation Catalog, Replica Catalog, DAG correctness, and resource configuration.

What is the best way to validate Dockerfile and wrapper script compatibility in Pegasus WMS?

The best way to validate Dockerfile and wrapper script compatibility in Pegasus WMS is to perform an automated workflow review. This process checks for non-standard patterns, potential optimizations, and adherence to execution standards.

Does automated Pegasus workflow review check DAG correctness and File I/O configurations?

Yes, automated Pegasus workflow review checks DAG correctness and File I/O configurations. It evaluates workflows against a comprehensive checklist to pinpoint critical errors and offer best practice guidance for reliable execution.

Why does my bioinformatics workflow fail when submitted to Pegasus WMS?

A bioinformatics workflow might fail when submitted to Pegasus WMS due to critical errors in Transformation Catalog, Replica Catalog, or wrapper scripts. Reviewing the workflow configuration beforehand identifies these runtime failures and non-standard patterns.
