Hello Tobin,

The answer is likely no, but to confirm, are you trying to import a study specimen archive? Or are you doing something else that happens to contain data about specimens?

What exactly are you trying to do as a part of that post-specimen import process?

Thanks,

Not exactly what you asked for, but you could create a custom pipeline job that invokes the specimen import followed by your custom tasks(s). A Script-Based Pipeline gives you a great deal of power to orchestrate multiple pipeline tasks written in a variety of languages. You can, for example, specify a <taskref> that references a built-in task implemented in the platform, such as org.labkey.study.pipeline. SpecimenReloadJob, and then specify additional tasks that you write in Python, R, Java, etc.

Chet,

Yes, we're importing a specimen archive via a file trigger (we have a perl process that generates the archive off daily LDMS data, and then places a file on the filesystem to tell labkey to begin its specimen import process).

Adam,

I'll look into this. What we want is to execute a REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW sql statement once the specimen import has completed.

Thanks!

Hello Tobin,

As far as I know there isn't really a built in feature for this. However, Adams suggestion seems like it would do the trick.

Where you able to give it a try?
Did you need any help setting this up?

Thanks,
Chet
