FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a REANA workflow development directory?▼

Setting up a REANA workflow involves creating a dedicated directory and copying a minimal reana.yaml template into it. You then edit placeholders for your workflow name and command before copying in source files to run.

What environment variables do I need to run a REANA analysis?▼

To run a REANA analysis, you must export the REANA_SERVER_URL and REANA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variables. These provide the necessary backend endpoint and authentication credentials to execute your workflow.

Can I execute a REANA workflow using a Dockerized client?▼

Yes, you can run a REANA workflow using a Dockerized client. The setup provides exact run commands for both the native reana-client and the Dockerized client to enable rapid validation of your analyses.

What prerequisites are needed before creating a REANA workflow?▼

Prerequisites for creating a REANA workflow include having Docker installed, accessing a REANA server URL, and obtaining an access token. These ensure your local environment can properly provision and execute the analysis.

Why does my REANA workflow setup fail on the development backend?▼

REANA workflow setup failures often stem from missing environment variables or misconfigured reana.yaml files. Enforcing environment setup steps and using provided templates minimizes these manual configuration errors on the development backend.
