I'm trying to connect to a Pipeline Pilot server installed on a Linux machine using the Pipeline Pilot client on my laptop. However, when I attempt to log in, I get the following error message: get host by name failed in tcp_connect() Interestingly, when I click the “Test” button on the login screen, it says the connection is successful. But the actual login still fails with the error above. I'm wondering whether this is due to a misconfiguration in: The Pipeline Pilot server installation or

Program Pipeline Pilot Server (all supported versions) Operating System All supported operating systems Description Pipeline Pilot provides the option 'SSL Only' in the Admin Portal under the menu item Setup → Server Configuration → Server Port Usage. If this option is set, Pipeline Pilot will always use HTTPS connections, and as of Pipeline Pilot version 2022, the server certificates will be verified by default. In order for the remote server certificates to be verified, the Certificate

BIOVIA Support often get questions related to security updates of third-party components used in Pipeline Pilot. For each release, these third-party updates are listed in the Product Release Document (PRD) for that release. Below is a list of third party updates for the recent Pipeline Pilot releases compiled from the respective PRD. Pipeline Pilot 2023 The embedded Tomcat server has been updated to the latest security-fix version. Updated the Apache httpd server to version 2.4.54. Updated

Hello, I am searching for specific text inside the protocol files. when i tried using protocol search option in the client, it give the following error message. ===== Protocol Search is not available on this server To use Protocol Search on this server, contact your server administrator to configure the Pipeline Pilot Catalog Search Engine for this server. For further information, see Pipeline Pilot Help System. ====== But the search is working for few other user logins. Please help on this

Normally, you can update the Pipeline Pilot SSL Certificates through the Admin Portal under Security > SSL Certificate. But if the Admin Portal is not accessible, for example if the current certificate has expired, you might need to update these manually at the OS level. Just like when you update the certificates from the Admin Portal, you first need to obtain a new valid certificate as a key pair, comprised of a public key embedded in a signed certificate and private key, both formatted in the

It is very rare and unusual but there are cases when running the Pipeline Pilot installer to upgrade or add collections to an existing installation, the installer shows an error like: ----- scitegicsetup ----- Running jobs have been detected. Please terminate them from the administration portal. ----- Since the Pipeline Pilot services are not running, there can be no jobs and it is not possible to log in to the Admin Portal. The reason for this is most likely that some lock files have been left

I am creating an application launcher with the Dashboard Collection. I am using the Dashboard Collection vs the traditional "green" Reporting collection to get the resulting web pages to be responsive, but I have run into a few roadblocks - and could use some input on how best to implement things. In some cases I have things working but feel there must be a more elegant/performant option, and in others I am stuck. Attaching find a set of three interconnected protocols that should work as-is

When a user tries to upload a file through the Web Port, it may happen that they get a cryptic JavaScript error like: "Uncaught TypeError: Pilot.Report.SimpleFileUpload$onError is not a function". To see the actual reason as to why the file failed to upload, an administrator can check the errors in the logfile "scitegicerror_cgifile.log" located in "/logs/messages". The most likely cause of this error is that the file to be uploaded violates the rules that has been set

We have noticed that a number of scheduled jobs are failing to complete and after checking the server logs we see the same error message. Pilot Error: Maximum number of servers (256) exceeded If any one can shed some light on which servers the error message is referring to and how/if these could be configured that would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

I've been using the Text Connector to connect to a specific web site for almost 10 years, in order to download files, and it's worked well. In the past few days, it has stopped working. I don't get any output from the Text Reader component. I've got Source=https://www.chemgenes.com in Text Reader. Is there any way to debug this? The Text Reader component does still work fine with other URLs, and this URL does work on the PP server computer in a web browser, so I know it's not a connection

Attached is a protocol containing a component that formats or "pretty-prints" a property containing JSON to have nice indentation. The component can either save the results to a file or put the formatted JSON on a new data record property. The component is Python-based, but as the "json" module used is part of the Python standard library, no installation of modules is required. All of the Python-specific parameters have been moved to the Implementation tab of the component. One can choose the

Are the molecular descriptors binarized (e.g., into deciles or bins) before being included in the model? Does Pipeline Pilot use the same BernoulliNB node for both ECFP6 bits and descriptor features? How are continuous descriptors aligned with the binary fingerprint format expected by the Bernoulli Naïve Bayes model? Is the model built using one combined feature matrix, or are fingerprints and descriptors treated separately and merged later? My goal is to better understand how descriptors

I want to create a dashboard where people can "star" an item as a favorite. To do this outside of Pipeline Pilot my understanding is that you would use an icon from a font like font-awesome. Is there an existing font in Pipeline Pilot that I can call to embed a star or heart icon in my text element? Is there a different mechanism available OOTB I am not seeing? If not, how does one add a font set like font-awesome to Pipeline Pilot for use by the Dashboard collection? Thanks! Lynn

Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to kindly ask how I can learn to use the software effectively. Are there any recommended resources, such as books or videos, that cover the different parts of the software? Thank you very much for your guidance.

Hello, I have a list of around 1,000 numbers. I would like to convert them into strings, with each string containing 20 numbers separated by commas. I've already used the "Group by Number" component to create groups of 20 numbers each. Now my question is: How can I convert these groups into comma-separated strings? Thank you for your help! Bernd

I'd like to build a small .NET 8 C# project that takes a single molecule and handles mol format conversion (smiles, chime) and produces an image (jpg). These tasks are trivial to do in the BIOVIA Draw classes provided in .Net DLL's. The problem is, those DLLs are in .Net Frameworks (v4.6.x I think). The Pipeline Pilot .Net SDK nalpp.dll has the same limitation. Has anyone been able to use these BIOVIA DLLs -- probably via a wrapper project -- in a .Net 8 project? Regards, Julian

A question for users of our Chemistry Collection and SDK. We're contemplating an update to enable stereochemistry on two specific molecule classes: Phosphinic Acids: RP(=O)(O)R Sulfinic Acids: RCS(=O)O These are similar cases in that they have tetrahedral geometry at a heteroatom with two connected oxygens. Typically, these compounds exist as a mixture of enantiomers due to interconversion when deprotonated and are usually depicted without stereochemistry. But the structures of the

Hi, I am a bit confused as I cannot find any clear documentation on how to install this platform I did find this, but as I understood it is not via the cloud, maybe science cloud is a third-party vendor? Also the the tutorials dont show any information regarding how to install, they just jump straight to the software which I think is poor.

Hi All, I'm working with an .xml document where I want to swap the values contained within the attributes of an element. To provide a specific example, I'm trying to extract the attribute values from the Sample element in the .xml below using the nodemetadataproperties function in PilotScript so I can swap the values found within the SampleID, name and comment attributes but I'm struggling to find the values and am unsure about how to write the values back to the correct attribute. Is anyone

Hello, We have a bunch of protocols that are exposed in the Web port. They were mostly internal to IT so it did not matter if everyone in IT could see those. But now we have some end user facing protocols that we are going to publish in the Web Port. Is there a way to make only certain protocols visible to certain users in the web port?

The mail writer works when testing in Pipeline Pilot, I receive emails. I am using my work's exchange in the SMTP Host address. No auth required. It doesn't however work when using the protocol in Hub. I don't have the Python SMTP Mail writer protocol example - could someone upload this? Maybe I could try this instead. This is the error I am seeing: java.lang.Exception: Pipeline Pilot protocol execution failed with status [error] for Foundation job [b5f8eae8-552d-45ff-a432-a23bef1fa4d2]

Hello, Is there a way to see a user access log to the web port to see who has accessed most recently? Thanks.

Good Afternoon, I have a question regarding stereochemistry of Molecular structures objects in pipeline pilot. Is there a way to 'flatten' or disregard the stereochemistry of molecular structures that are being fed in by a SD reader component ? As a result, making a lot of the drugs similar that have different stereochemistry thus making it easier to parse by molecular structures or even smiles strings. Thanks.

I'm currently sending emails in Pipeline Pilot via SMTP with TLS-secured username/password login credentials. I'm using a variant of the component present in the "Python (on Server) Send Emails Example" example protocol. I've been told by my site IT that this will be going away, and I instead need to start using SMTP OAuth. Is there an example protocol which demonstrates sending an email using this authentication? Thanks, John Feinberg Novo Nordisk

Hello everyone😀 When I was using the castep module for structure optimization of cobalt doped pentlandite, the .castep result file gave an error. This error is: “Error geom_precon_exp_get_r_NN: increased r_cut to twice system extent without finding neighbors for all atoms. this can happen if your system is too small; try setting r_cut manually”. However, I did not look for the runtime parameter “r_cut” in the user manual, and subsequently added “geom_precon_r_cut: 3.0” to the .param file.

I am trying to troubleshoot this for weeks and have a case open with Biovia but to no avail. I am using Microsoft Azures as my SSO provider. I am wondering what the Base URL and Entity ID should be specified as in the configuration. Currently, I have login dot microsoftonline dot com followed by a key value as the Base URL. But my SSO configuration person says pipeline is not even hitting the SSO server. The URL for the webport is in Entity ID, is this correct? I have the metadata from SSO

We've been running PipelinePilot 2021 (linux backend) and have a protocol to extract images from an externally created PDF files: PDF Reader -> Unpack Children -> Image from Byte Array -> Image Record Writer We need to update PP to PP2025, but there's currently no imaging collection in PP2025 Gold for Linux. Therefore, the "Image from Byte Array" component is missing. Is there another native way to extract the images in the PDF from within PP? Would prefer not to use external python modules

Is there any documentation or examples of how to set up the SMTP Mail Writer component? I only require the ability to send a simple message to notify an action has been completed; there is no requirement of adding attachments it will simply sit on it's own without any specific pipes after the main protocol has completed it's actions. I just need to know specifics on how to set up the 'ToAddress', 'ToName', etc. Basically what each action does and what is needed

In Protocol Client, I have designed a very simple protocol and got a link that can be accessed by Create Protocol Link function. due to network problem, some timeout will be more than 40s when I access the link, then I will encounter: “Error: Job Error: Job timed out after 40000 msec.” Is there any way to make the wait time after the Link is called longer, like 60s.

I am writing a query using a database select component. The query involves joining a varchar column with jsonb column. Unlike the syntax for usual join (col1 = col2), the postgresql syntax for this join is ( jsonbcol1 ? col2). While this syntax works in any other command line tool, pipeline pilot SQLSelect component interprets that question mark as an input parameter. I tried passing "?" itself as the parameter value hoping that it will replace question mark with question mark in the
