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. Here are the steps to get an example prot.XML into openBIS.
  1. Login into openBIS as 'admin'.
  2. Open space browser by clicking on menu item Admin -> Spaces.
  3. Create a space named TEST by using Add Space button.
  4. Create a project named PROT inside space TEST by using menu item New -> Project.
  5. At the console execute the command:
    cp -R ${DSS_ROOT_DIR}/examples/test+prot ${DSS_ROOT_DIR}/incoming-ms-search
It will create an experiment in project /TEST/PROT which shows a list of proteins. We challenge you to go find it in the running application !


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.
