Description
Because several conversion programs depend on Windows-only vendor libraries from different manufacture, this software will enable you converting your raw files in you local machine without logging in to remote window machine.
Requirements
The following is a list of software need to be installed in window machine before you can convert each type of the raw file.
| Raw file type | Raw-to-mzXML/mzML converter | Required Software ad |
|---|---|---|
| .RAW file | ReAdw | Thermo's XCalibur software |
| raw dir | massWolf | Waters' MassLynx software |
| .wiff | mzWiff | Analyst software |
| .wiff | ML_Exporter | |
| .baf | CompassXport | CompassXport, produced by Bruker |
How to use it
Suppose the remote window machine is named R machine. The local linux machine is named L machine.
On R machine:
mkdir C:\convert Download converter executable and save into C:\convert
Download RemoteConvertServer.pl and lib dir, and save into C:\convert
Download 7-zip, unzip and save it into C:\convert\7-zip
cd C:\convert
perl RemoteConvertServer.pl
On L machine:
Download remoteconvert.pl and save into some dir.
./ remoteconvert.pl : show some examples command to run the software.
./ remoteconvert.pl –showoptions: show all options available for each converter
Install RemoteConvert as a service
The service will stop if the user session is time out or the window machine is restarted. I complied the perl code into a executable using triall version of perl2exe, and installed it as service on a window 2000 and a window server 2003 sucessfully, thus the service will keep running without user log in and restart by itself after the computer restarts.
Instructions on install user defined service:
1.Use perl2exe or other software to convert the perl program
(server side) to executable. Save your perl executable into
C:\convert
2.Download and install resource kit tool from Microsoft
website according to which version of window machine
you have.
Window server 2003:[1]
Window 2000:[2]
Alternatively if you can get INSTSRV.EXE and SRVANY.EXE somewhere, you don’t need to install the whole resource kit.
Suppose these two executable is located in “C:\reskit”
4.At a MS-DOS command prompt(running CMD.EXE), type the
following command:
C:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE RemoteConvert C:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE
5.Run Registry Editor (start|run|regedit) and locate the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteConvert
a. From the Edit menu, click New Key. Type the following
and click OK:
Key Name: Parameters
Class : <leave blank>
b. Select the Parameters key.
From the Edit menu, click New Value. Type the following
and click OK:
Value Name: Application
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: C:\convert\RemoteConvertServer.exe
c. Select the Parameters key
From the Edit menu, click New Value. Type the following
and click OK:
Value Name: AppDirectory
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: C:\convert
d. Close Registry Editor.
6: start the service
control panel -> administrative tool -> component service
Find the "RemoteConvert"
Click it
on popup window, click start
This software is included in the current TPP distribution.
Additional methods for obtaining the software are:
- Download from SourceForge Sashimi project file release: []
