Software Release Notes

2024 October 30 - ICA v2.30

Features and Enhancements

  • General

    • The projectdata upload CLI command will from now on give you the credentials to access the data

    • System notifications which could already previously be found on https://status.illumina.com/ , both regional and global, are now shown in the ICA UI when an important ICA message needs to be communicated

    • Introduced a limit to the number of data elements that can be put in POST ​/api​/projects​/{projectId}​/dataUpdateBatch to 100.000 entries

  • Flow

    • Users can now access json-based pipeline input forms for both Nextflow and CWL pipelines. API access is not yet available for CWL pipelines

    • Added GPU compute types (gpu-small, gpu-medium) for use in workflows

    • Users can now sort analyses by request date instead of start date, which was not always available

    • The analysis details page has been upgraded with the following features:

    • The progress bar which could be found on the analyses overview page will now also appear in the details page

    • A maximum of 5 rows of output are shown for each output parameter, but the output can be displayed in a large popup to have a better overview

    • Orchestrated analyses are shown in a separate tab

  • Cohorts

    • Users can now use the Measurement concept API to create cohorts based on lab measurement data and harmonize their values to perform downstream analysis

    • Users can now access the Hierarchical concept search API to view the phenotype ontologies

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • The mail option is now automatically filtered out for those events that do not support it

    • Fixed an issue where there was no email sent after rerunning a workflow session

    • Fixed an issue which caused authentication failures when using a direct link

    • Made file and folder selection more consistent

    • Fixed an issue with the CLI where using the “projectsamples get” command to retrieve a sample shared via an entitled bundle in another tenant failed

    • Fixed filtering so you can only see subscriptions and channels from your own tenant

    • Improved GUI handling for smaller display sizes

    • Fixed the workflow session user reference and output folder naming to use BaseSpace Experiment Name when available

  • Data Management

    • The unlink action is now greyed out if data not linked is in the selection

    • Fixed an issue that when deleting folders, the parent folders were deleted first, giving the impression that the parent folder is deleted but not the subfolders and files

    • Fixed an issue where the connector downloads only downloaded the main folder, not the folder contents

    • For consistency, it is no longer possible to link to folders or files from within subfolders. Previously, you could link, but the files and folders are always linked to top level instead of the subfolder from where linking was done

    • Updated error handling for dataUpdateBatch API endpoint

    • Moving small files (>8Mb) will not trigger a "moving" event, only that the move has completed as out-of-order events caused issues and moving small files happens fast enough to not need the status of being moved, only the completion of the move

    • Improved error handling when encountering issues during cancellation of data copy/move

    • Improved error message when trying to unlink data from a project via the API when this data is native to that project and not linked

    • Fixed issue where analysis can proceed to download input data when any of the inputs are in status other than AVAILABLE, including records within folder data inputs

  • Flow

    • Redesigned UI component to prevent issues with Analysis summary display

    • Fixed an issue where the field content was not set to empty when the field input forms have changed between the original analysis and a rerun

    • Replaced retry exhaustion message, "External Service failed to process after max retries 503 Unique Reference ID: 1234" with a more useful message to end users that advises them to contact Illumina support: "Attempt to launch ICA workflow session failed after max retries. Please contact Illumina Tech Support for assistance. Unique Reference ID: 1234". This does not replace more specific error messages that provide corrective advice to the user, such as "projectId cannot be null"

    • For efficiency reasons, pipeline files are limited to a file size of 100 Megabytes

  • Bench

    • Fixed an issue which caused .bash_profile to no longer source .bashrc

    • Fixed the status of deleted docker images which previously were displayed as available

    • Improved error handling when trying to upload files which no longer exist

    • Fix system degradation under load by introducing rate limit for spawning tasks for a given analysis to 25 per 1 min

    • The createUploadUrl endpoint can now be used to upload a file directly from the region where it is located. The user can create both new files and overwrite files in status "partial"

    • Improved the project data list command with wildcard support. For example:

      • / or /* will return the contents of the root

As a result of this update you might end up with 2 different versions of the reference data (one with keys written with an uppercase letter at the start, another one with keys written entirely in lowercase letters). To fix this:

    • Update your queries and use the Snowflake function : GET_IGNORE_CASE (ex: select GET_IGNORE_CASE( to_object(ica) , 'data_name' ) from testtableref)
