  3. Jobs launched on UKB-RAP can no longer be accessed directly using dx ssh.
  4. Job logs are no longer accessible for jobs launched on UKB-RAP.

Learn about:

  • Working with Apps and Workflows in the Platform UI vs the Command Line Interface (CLI)
  • Using popular apps like Table Exporter & Swiss Army Knife
  • Running and monitoring batch jobs with large numbers of files

Additional guidance:

  • Some UKB-RAP specific terminology is mentioned.
  • The video has some advice on selecting instances (high priority vs spot instances) and similar computation can be done without spending as much. 
  • The second part of the video contains useful information, but assumes a lot of computational experience.
