Flex Support

OMERO.importer supports importing analysized Flex files from an Opera system.

Basic configuration is done via the importer.ini. Once the user has run the Importer once, this file will be in the following location:

• C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\omero\importer.ini

The user will need to modify or add the [FlexReaderServerMaps] section of the INI file as follows:

...
[FlexReaderServerMaps]
CIA-1 = \\\\hostname1\\mount;\\\\archivehost1\\mount
CIA-2 = \\\\hostname2\\mount;\\\\archivehost2\\mount

where the key of the INI file line is the value of the "Host" tag in the .mea measurement XML file (here: <Host name="CIA-1">) and the value is a semicolon-separated list of escaped UNC path names to the Opera workstations where the Flex files reside.

Once this resolution has been encoded in the configuration file and you have restarted the importer, you will be able to select the .mea measurement XML file from the Importer user interface as the import target.
