If you are updating from a previous version ...

Additional steps are required to get the 'Install from Repository' page to work.

step 1: Edit genepattern.properties file

Set the *RepositoryURL(s) to use the new location. Make the following edits in your 'genepattern.properties' file. As usual, for best results, first shut down the server, then make the edits, then start the server.

DefaultModuleRepositoryURL=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository
ModuleRepositoryURL=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository
ModuleRepositoryURLs=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository,\
    http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gparcModuleRepository,\
    http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/betaModuleRepository   

DefaultSuiteRepositoryURL=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository/suite
SuiteRepositoryURL=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository/suite
SuiteRepositoryURLs=http://software.broadinstitute.org/webservices/gpModuleRepository/suite

Note: The DefaultPatchURL and DefaultPatchRepositoryURL properties are no longer required. Feel free to delete them from the file.

 

step 2: Update TASK_INSTALL.REPO_URL in the database

This step is only necessary if you installed modules on your server before updating to GP v3.9.9. It's only needed for the Source label and icon in the user interface, e.g. Production, Gparc, Beta, or Dev. Update the TASK_INSTALL.REPO_URL column in the database to match the newer urls. This example update statement was tested on Broad hosted servers with an Oracle database. 

-- Update statement 
update task_install set repo_url = 
    replace ( repo_url, 'http://software.broadinstitute.org', 'http://www.broadinstitute.org' )
where repo_url like 'http://www.broadinstitute.org%'
commit

 

 

step 3: Update GP_USER_PROP['ModuleRepositoryURL'] in the database

As an additional step (not required) change the per-user 'ModuleRepositoryURL' setting. This example update statement was tested on Broad hosted servers with an Oracle database.

update gp_user_prop
    set value = replace (
        value, 'www.broadinstitute.org', 'software.broadinstitute.org') 
where key = 'ModuleRepositoryURL' 
commit
