labkey.provenance.addRecordingStep: Add a step to a provenance recording

Description

Function to add a step to a previously created provenance recording session. Note: this function is in beta and not yet final, changes should be expected so exercise caution when using it.

Usage

labkey.provenance.addRecordingStep(baseUrl=NULL, folderPath, provenanceParams = NULL)

Value

The generated recording ID which can be used in subsequent steps (or queries that support provenance).

Arguments

baseUrl: a string specifying the baseUrl for the labkey server
folderPath: a string specifying the folderPath
provenanceParams: the provenance parameter object which contains the options to include in this recording step

Details

Function to add a step to a previously created provenance recording. The recording ID that was obtained from a previous startRecording function call must be passed into the provenanceParams config. This is a premium feature and requires the Provenance LabKey module to function correctly.

Examples

Run this code

# \donttest{

## start a provenance recording and add a recording step
library(Rlabkey)

mi <- data.frame(lsid=c("urn:lsid:labkey.com:Sample.251.MySamples:sample1",
        "urn:lsid:labkey.com:Sample.251.MySamples:sample2"))

p <- labkey.provenance.createProvenanceParams(name="step1", description="initial step",
        materialInputs=mi)
r <- labkey.provenance.startRecording(baseUrl="https://labkey.org/labkey/",
        folderPath = "Provenance", provenanceParams=p)
do <- data.frame(
        lsid="urn:lsid:labkey.com:AssayRunTSVData.Folder-251:12c70994-7ce5-1038-82f0-9c1487dbd334")

labkey.provenance.addRecordingStep(baseUrl="https://labkey.org/labkey/", folderPath = "Provenance",
    provenanceParams=labkey.provenance.createProvenanceParams(name="additional step",
        recordingId=r$recordingId, dataOutputs=do))
