Start servers

The installation has completed successfully. To start openBIS launch the following script:

${INSTALL_BIN_PATH}/allup.sh

After the completion of the above command openBIS will be available at https://localhost:8443/openbis

Importing test data

By now you have a fully functional openBIS instance, but it makes little sense if it has no data in it. You could import a minimalistic example by executing the command:

cp -R ${DSS_ROOT_DIR}/samples/PLATE1 ${DSS_ROOT_DIR}/incoming-hcs

It will create a plate PLATE1 with images data for one of its wells. We challenge you to go find it in the running application !

openBIS can store any data, not just HCS images. To test the import of random data select a random directory or file and copy it to incoming-simple

cp -R <my-file-or-directory> ${DSS_ROOT_DIR}/incoming-simple

Customizing openBIS

In the scientific world there is no one-size-fits-them-all solutions. Your research data is certainly different from our example data. Luckily, openBIS provides an easy way to script the import process - the Jython Dropboxes. You can learn how to create your custom-tailored Jython Dropbox here.
