Hello,

I am attempting to run a MudPit analysis through CPAS using Mascot. However, I keep getting an error report with this message:
command "PeptideProphetParser 'all.pep.xml' EXTRAITRS=20" exited with non-zero exit code: 256
Would you, please, be so kind to suggest how can I resolve this. Thank you very much!

With regards,
Sanja Trajkovic

Hi Sanja,

Can you attach the full .log file for the job? It may contain more details about the cause of the error.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Sanja,

The relevant line in the log seems to be:

ERROR: two instrument manufacturers: Thermo Finnigan and ThermoFinnigan

This is a fraction search. Did all of the fractions' mzXML files undergo the same processing? It may be that they have a mismatch in terms of what they state as their instrument manufacturer. The value should be close to the top of each mzXML file, in a line that looks like this:

    <msManufacturer category="msManufacturer" value="ThermoFinnigan"/>

If they're not the same, you might be able to just edit the mzXML files directly to make them consistent. It might be a good idea, though, to reconvert from RAW files to mzXML so that all of your fractions undergo consistent processing.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,

Thank you very much, your suggestion helped for Mascot. I converted all raw files to mzxml again. Hopefully it will work for sequest and xtandem as well.

Thank you,
Sanja
