BioImg copies new data automatically from the connected microscopes at designated times.
However, only data which is saved according to the rules is copied.
The 2 cases of non-copied data:
- Data of unrecognized users - see below
- Files of specific users, which are at the higher level instead of inside experiment folders.
Before deleting files from the microscope you need to verify that the data exist on BioImg.
As an administrator you have access to all the data acquired on the microscope, and you can verify the existence of each folder before deletion from the microscope
We provide additional tools to help you identifying and fixing problems of non-copied data. They are listed in this document together with the required action.
An email listing the non-copied data is sent to the Equipment Administrator once a week.
Make sure to read it carefully and take the required needed action in order to verify that all the collected data is really copied.
You can also check the current status by going to the Equipment page on the BioImg website (available only for microscope administrators). This page provide you also some helpful relevant tools.
What should YOU do to resolve each case:
UNKNOWN USERS:
| Message | Data is On BioImg | What does it mean | What should YOU do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppercase | NO | userid must be written in lowercase letters. You used some uppercase letter. This userid in lowercase letters exist in the system | Rename the folder to the same name with LOWERCASE letters |
| Uppercase, Check spelling | NO | userid must be written in lowercase letters. You used some uppercase letter. This userid in lowercase letters does NOT exist in the system | Find the correct userid of the user, and rename the folder to that userid in LOWERCASE letters You can use the "Type here to check userid" field to find the correct userid |
| Check Spelling | NO | This userid in lowercase letters does NOT exist in the system | Find the correct userid of the user, and rename the folder to that userid in LOWERCASE letters You can use the "Type here to check userid" field to find the correct userid |
| unknown PI, never seen | NO | The name of the PI of the user is not written in the LDAP system | Send an email to Kiril Kogan stating the user name, userid and the name of the PI and we will manually set the name of the PI |
NOT Unix | NO | This user exist, but does not appear in the LDAP password system (=does not have Unix) | Contact the user and ask him to ask his department administrator to set Unix privilege for his account . Once this is done, BioImg will recognize the user and Copy the data |
| Not Unix, unknown PI, never seen | NO | The name of the PI of the user is not written in the LDAP system This user exist, but does not appear in the LDAP password system (=does not have Unix) | Contact the user and ask him to ask his department administrator to set Unix privilege for his account AND Send an email to Kiril Kogan stating the user name, userid and the name of the PI and we will manually set the name of the PI |
| Uppercase, Not Unix, unknown PI, never seen ... | NO | userid must be written in lowercase letters. You used some uppercase letter. This userid in lowercase letters exist in the system The name of the PI of the user is not written in the LDAP system This user exist, but does not appear in the LDAP password system (=does not have Unix) | Rename the folder to the same name with LOWERCASE letters AND Contact the user and ask him to ask his department administrator to set Unix privilege for his account AND Send an email to Kiril Kogan stating the user name, userid and the name of the PI and we will manually set the name of the PI |
| Passive | YES ?? | This User did not login to BioImg in the last ?? Months We think he is not an active user | You may want to delete this folder from the microscope |
| never seen | YES ?? | This user never logged in to BioImg, he either dont have data or copies the data directly from the microscope instead of through BioImg | You may want to delete this folder from the microscope |
| NOT Unix, Passive | NO | ?? | ?? |
FILES OUTSIDE EXPERIMENT FOLDER:
The listed files are NOT on BioImg, The user was informed by email from BioImg, but you may want to inform him about it, especially if you intend to delete the data.
