ExecutePipeline

Executes workflows created by TOPPAS.

This tool is the non-GUI, i.e. command line version for non-interactive execution of TOPPAS pipelines. In order to really use this tool in batch-mode, you can provide a TOPPAS resource file (.trf) which specifies the input files for the input nodes in your pipeline.

*.trf files

A TOPPAS resource file (*.trf) specifies the locations of input files for a pipeline. It is an XML file following the normal TOPP INI file schema, i.e. it can be edited using the INIFileEditor or filled using a script (we do NOT provide one - sorry). It can be exported from TOPPAS (File -> Save TOPPAS resource file). For two input nodes 1 and 2 with files (dataA.mzML, dataB.mzML) and (dataC.mzML) respectively it has the following format.
