I am getting this error message after GISTIC is run.
Failed to download all output files from remote system. Found 20 of 23 Files not retrieved: gistic_inputs.mat, remote_stderr.txt, remote_stdout.txt

In addition many of the output files have nothing in it.

Hi,

unfortunately the remote system delegated to run the analysis was having some file system issues over the weekend.  From looking at your job on both GenePattern and the remote server it seems that only those 3 files failed to transfer.  For job 648034 there was nothing in the stderr.txt file
 so the rest of the outputs should be viable analyses.  

There are a few options we can take from here;
1. if you don't need the gistic_inputs.mat result, you can just proceed with your analysis.
2. You can rerun the analysis to get a fresh set of outputs (file system issues are currently resolved) 
3. I can retrieve the complete set of result files from the remote system and email them to you
4. I can retrieve just the missing files from the remote system and email them to you

For options 3 or 4 let me know all the job numbers that you are interested in.

Thanks for your patience

Ted

Hi Ted


It’s more than files not transferring. If you look at job 64909, many of the files have nothing in them (look at the sizes). Amp.qplot.pdf is consistent with GISTIC being run to completion, and there should be data in these files.

In that case do you want to rerun or have me pull the files from the remote system, just give me all the job numbers you need.

Can you pull the data for these files:
648032, 648033, 648034.

Sent you a link to a google drive.  Let me know if you are all set.
