In the end data files from the sequencing (FASTQ, etc) end up in the 'scanb' project archive folder. This is currently configured in the `` setting in the `reggie-config.xml` file and in the `ProjectArchive` fileserver item in BASE. Since we are already generating different subfolder structures for regular and external samples it should not be too difficult to add settings for an 'external project archive'. Basically we need another configuration setting in the XML file (``) and one more fileserver item (`ExternalProjectArchive`). For external samples with an underscore in the name the characters before the underscore should be used as the name of the top-most folder inside the external project archive. External samples without an underscore doesn't have the extra folder. For example: * AA_FOO is stored in /AA/FOO * AA_BAR is stored in /AA/BAR * BB_XYZ is stored in /BB/XYZ * MYSAMPLE is stored in /MYSAMPLE The folder structure is repeated in the BASE server file structure, but instead of using `/home/SCANB/SecondaryAnalysis` as the main directory, `/home/External/SecondaryAnalysis` should be used. Already existing information have to be fixed so that it is compatible with the new scheme. Some things may be possible to do with batch importers, some things may have to be done manually. The details about this are documented in a [wiki:net.sf.basedb.reggie/notes40 special update notes wiki page]. Note that the update procedure will not create the extra folder for samples with an underscore in the name.",enhancement,closed,critical,Reggie v4.0,net.sf.basedb.reggie,fixed,,
