b2g4pipe returns only a .annot file... What about the .dat file?

[Hel]

Hi all,

After running b2g4pipe, I only got a .annot file in the "results" directory. Is that all? What about the .dat file? I cannot find it.

The command I utilized was:
java -Xmx4000m -cp *:ext/*: es.blast2go.prog.B2GAnnotPipe -in MYFILE.xml -out results/myprojectMYFILE -prop b2gPipe.properties -annot -dat -img -ips ipsr -annex -goslim -wiki html_template.html -v

It is exactly as the ReadMe file says, except the input and output file names, and the amount of memory usage -4000 instead of 1000-. I also modified the b2gPipe.properties file, in order to update the blast2go database, as follows:
< Dbacces.dbname=b2g_apr12
< Dbacces.dbhost=10.10.100.203
---
> Dbacces.dbname=b2g_aug12
> Dbacces.dbhost=publicdb.blast2go.com

This is the fist time I run b2g4pipe, and I would like to check if my results are correct. Is there anybody who has run it? I will appreciate your feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Which version of b2g4pipe are you using? They have previously changed the API with minor releases...

[Hel]

b2g4pipe v2.5.0

b2g4pipe v2.5.0

Good, v2.5 wants -annot while v2.3 wanted -a instead.

I'm not tried getting a *.dat file out of b2g4pipe for a while, on the grounds it didn't seem to be advised for large datasets. From memory it worked back on v2.3 though.

Ok, thanks. So the problem may be the large dataset..

I tried it with another file of similar size. In this case it results in 21 files in several formats (.annot, .dat, .png, .jpg and .svg) instead.
I don't understand why in the first case I only got a single result file (an .annot file). Any suggestion?

No idea - I've only been using b2g4pipe to go from the BLAST XML file(s) to an .annot file, and then importing that into the Blast2GO GUI if I want to produce any of the images etc later.
