DA Reprocessor: The operation has timed out

Hey Dan,

They co-reside with each other. You can have both open at the same time on the same PC, even looking at the same data file simultaneously.

As for the DA Automation - the rule is, which ever is installed last does the automation.

So if you have B.07 installed, then install B.08 - when you run DA Reprocessing, B.08 will do that work. If you then uninstall B.07 and reinstall B.07 - B.07 will take over the DA Reprocessing.

As for the next step - I'll need to reach out to your account manager. Can you email me your contact details so I can look up who that is. (or if you already know you're welcome to reach out to them directly). [Personal Information Removed by Moderator]

It sounds like B.08 made sizable improvements in processing efficiency (by a factor of >4).  I would be willing to try it.  Would it overwrite the current version (B.07) or can they continue to exist side by side?  How should we proceed?

Cheers!

Alright, I've just started testing B.08 and the initial signs are promising.  It is certainly going through the data files faster.  I'll check next week that the output is the same as it was from B.07 or if any differences that arise matter.

One thing that isn't the same is that along with the .csv that I asked for it to export in the automation it is also putting out a .mzdata.xml which it wasn't doing under B.07.  Being unfamiliar with B.08, why is it generating these files--they aren't exactly small--and how would I turn it off?

Cheers!

Something has gone awry.  Looking at the method in B.08, I saw a checkbox marked for the mzdata export.  I didn't think it should be using it, but I thought I would test it with it unchecked.  I stopped the worklist, saved the method, and then restarted the worklist.  But now it doesn't seem to be functioning the same.  It had been finishing the method for each data file in just a couple of minutes, now it will eventually time out again.  It's also getting higher and higher in memory usage (as seen through task manager), which it wasn't doing before.  I tried the normal things to fix it, changing the method back, reloading the method from the B.07 version, restarting the computer, etc.  It still has this non-functional behavior. The method will still run fine (in just a few minutes for data file) if I load it in Qual B.08, so it seems to be a DA Reprocessor thing.

Any advice?  I would still prefer the DA Reprocessor because I want to run three methods sequentially (each searching a different database) and that (as far as I know) takes manual intervention in interactive.

Cheers!

Sorry, I know this keeps getting to be more and more...

The results from B.07 and B.08 aren't the same.  For instance, the example data I sent generates 8,807 features using MFE in B.07, but only 8567 in B.08.  And I think that's actually fine, as long as I'm careful not to mix and match which program I use to analyze that data.  But it would be helpful to know if the algorithm changed between the versions or if there are additional settings or something the new one has that makes it different.

Cheers!

This seems to be a working answer.  Thank you for you help.

Cheers!
