RemoteConvert

Contents

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 on window machine before you can convert each type of the raw file.

Raw file type Raw-to-mzXML/mzML converter Required Software
.RAW file ReAdw Thermo's XCalibur software
raw dir massWolf Waters' MassLynx software
.wiff mzWiff Analyst software
.wiff mzML_Exporter /
.baf .yep 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 installing 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.
    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 are located in “C:\reskit”
  3.At a MS-DOS command prompt(running CMD.EXE), type the 
    following  command:
    C:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE RemoteConvert C:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE
  4.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.
  5: 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:
