Archiving all existing ODD files is not
an easy task since these files reflect the structure of the databank but also
the requirements of the site ...so the file embl.sdl looks different for
sites where the embl databank is stored in the native format or as gcg
format ...the fileType object as well as all file names are different

...but it is also a matter of taste ...some sites, such as the ebi prefer
to have qualifier names itself in the "features" index ...which makes 
the index much bigger. There exist also several ways to parse and index
individual data-fields; eg, the 'OC' field can be indexed using 'whole' taxa or
broken up to all words separated by nonalphabetical characters

Well, i don't really know if people do this kind of customizing a lot but
theoretically it should be an obstacle towards a central archive.

..to be sure I am in favour of an archive!

I posted a short reply to this topic some time ago mentioning experiments
to use RCS as a base system for this archive ...this system is now 
nearing completion - it is a WWW front end to RCS commands that will
allow users to display the list of all files in the archive with all their 
versions. It allows the user to see the revision comment for every version as
well as see the differences between a pair of two versions. Using mime types
users will be enable to conveniently copy versions to local directories as
well as check in files from local directories - so anybody can participate
in the maintenance of this archive.

I will  make an announcement when this system becomes available for testing!

Actually, you are quite right about two different sites being mirrored.
In the process several things happen which do not allow for syncrony
between the major sites (EBI, EMBL) and the rest. BiO, for example,
mirrors the database at 0200 hours (local time). During the past two days
the process has packed up due to networking problems. Some due to satan and
others because of yo-yo routers in the Sweden/Netherlands. I suspect the 
INSERM, Skirbal and EMBL high numbers are due to double accumulation of data.

Hi!
I am familiar with both versions of SRS: command line and HTTP. During my work 
with it it became obvious that the features are not identical and that, in fact, 
only combination of the two would allow me to get what I want from that program.
The problem that I face is a simple one:
- get out all sequences that contain a signal peptide- only the ACTUAL feature
- put it in GCG and do some things on it.
The troubles are (for command line interface)
- if I do something wrong (like asking FEATURE and PIR- it has no feature field) 
the program mercilessly crashes (core dump etc.)
- I cannot do q1-organism and q2-feature
- I cannot do AllText search
- some other minor things
For the HTTP interface:
- I can do all above (except for the q1-organism and q2-feature)
- BUT I cannot save my results in a file. What I want is all my seqs- FEATURES 
ONLY- as a file. One can do it in the command line interface but not HTTP.
So, if there is anyone that can help me, please do not hesitate to do so |:)

Well, the command line part is in the documentation. You can't use set
operators, but you can link the sets to get the result you want.
This should be enough to get you started.

I also was unable to use "alltext" or "all" from the command line.

:Entries and Subentries
:
:Sets originating from the same databank may have different set types.
:Consider the two queries: 
:
:   [swissprot-keywords: transmembrane]
:   [swissprot-features: transmem] 
:
:The first query retrieves all SwissProt entries that have transmembrane
:segments, the second finds all transmembrane features contained in
:SwissProt entries. The second query will retrieve many more entries
:since most transmembrane proteins have more than one membrane spanning
:segment. If you requested the sequences for entries in the second set
:you would get the transmembrane segments and not the parent entry's
:sequence. The first query returns a set of entries whereas the second
:returns a set of subentries. The "features" index has a special type:
:searches in that index will for all sequence databanks result in sets
:of subentries. 
:
:Sets of entries and subentries can not combined be with logical operators!
:Only the link operators may be used between them, ie, it is always
:possible to link subentries to their respective parent entries. 
:
:Example:
:
:   [swissprot-org:human] > [swissprot-features:transmem] 
:      returns all transmembrane segments found in human proteins. 
:   [swissprot-org:human] < [swissprot-features:transmem] 
:      returns all human proteins that have transmembrane segments. 

And as for the HTTP part,that is trickier and I can't find a complete
solution to the problem.

I could use "QueryManager" to enter the query directly - as for the
command line but without the quotes (OK, it's a cheat :-)

But then it only seems to display complete entries and let you click on the
features one at a time.

Funny thing though - it seems not to care whether I put "organism"
or "features" first in a search. When I look at the query it always looks
the same: organism > features (but then displays the sequence of the
complete entries rather than the features :-)

yes that is true ...srs3.1 supports the PIR feature table and srs4.0 doesn't
this is because the feature information in PIR is rather scarce and sometimes
difficult to read (for a program) ...but in the near future the PIR feature
will be fully supported again

peter rice has already explained how to do this on the command line
with the WWW server you just specify the words in the organism and feature
fields and then select "sequenceFeature" instead of the default "entries"
in the second last line of the query form ...click the ?! there to get
more information on that

this is a new feature in srs4

you can do it with the srswww too ...do the query as described above and
then, on the next page click "view complete entries" ...this gives
you the list of found features plus some but not all of the parent entry's 
annotation

While searching for another (still unresolved) bug, I found 2 small
bugs in SRS 4.02 - 4.04
Here's a list of them, plus the way how I solved them. Possibly there are 
better solutions

Jeroen
==========================================================================
1) 
Description 
-----------
'>' signs in the SWISSPROT feature table are not translated to '&gt;'
e.g. 
FT   VARIANT      42     42       N -> K (IN RABSON-MENDENHALL SYNDROME).
FT   VARIANT      55     55       V -> A (IN LEPRECHAUNISM VERONA-1).
FT   VARIANT      58     58       G -> R (IN LEPRECHAUNISM HELMOND;
FT                                INHIBITS PROCESSING AND TRANSPORT).

This could generate problems with HTML parsing

Solution
--------
This conversion has to be made before adding hyperlinks 
2 routines are used to print fields :
WwwEntryTextPrint (srswww.c)
WwwPrintBuff (srswww.c)
I added SmSwapS lines to both:
The resulting routines are:
....................
static void WwwPrintBuff (char *ln)
{
  SmSwapS (ln, ">", "&gt;");    /* JC */
  SmSwapS (ln, "<", "&lt;");    /* JC */
  strcat (buff, ln);
}

.....................
static INT4 WwwEntryTextPrint (ENTRYo *entry)
{
  SLBoFIELD *field;
  INT4      rv;

  rv = EntryOpenText (entry);
  _ErrRet (rv);
  entry->convertLn = SMxMIXCASE;

  while ((field = EntryNextField (entry, 0,  1))) {
    if (field != (SLBoFIELD*) 1L)
      WwwPrintField (entry, 1);
    else {
      if (EntryIsEndLine (entry))
        break;
      SmSwapS (entry->file[0]->ln, "%", "%%");
      SmSwapS (entry->file[0]->ln, ">", "&gt;"); /* JC */
      SmSwapS (entry->file[0]->ln, "<", "&lt;"); /* JC */
      WwwPrintF (entry->file[0]->ln);
      FilURead (entry->file[0]);
    }
  }

  /* print the data part of ...file per entry type entries (eg, pdb) */

  if (ParGetNum ("printData") && LibIsFilePerEntry (entry->lib))
    do {
       WwwPrintF (entry->file[0]->ln);
      rv = FilURead (entry->file[0]);
    }
    while (rv != e__eof);

  return 1;
}
==========================================================================
2) Clicking on feature in swissprot entry  generates error messages
FT   VARIANT      42     42       N -> K (IN RABSON-MENDENHALL SYNDROME).
Clicking on VARIANT in the above feature returns a parsing error message

Solution
--------
in expression.sdl, the %SWISSPROT_FEATURE_PARSER does not define
'>' as a valid character in the comment
Changed rule
  comment = ~A-Za-z0-9\-_/. ()'~.
to 
  comment = ~A-Za-z0-9\-_/. ()'>:,~.

Adding '>' ':' and ','
As I have seen these in Swissprot feature comments
Possibly other chars should be added.
The errors appear on several servers, but not in Heidelberg. So I guess
Thure made this change, but forgot to add the new expression.sdl to the 
new release (or made the change after the last release)

I have an error when retrieving a large swissprot entry from the EBI SRS 
server. I tried the same on the Sanger, Heidelberg, and Basel servers, 
and there everything works fine. So I guess this will be system dependent
I run SRS4.04  on Alpha OSF1 rel 3.0. 
Does anyone else have the same configuration?
In that case try
http://hostname/srs/srsc?[swissprot-id:insr_human]+-sf+embl
on your server

On my machine, this ends like
...
FT                                WITH INS-RES DIABETES MELLITUS).
FT   VARIANT     762    762       R -> S (IN INS-RES ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS).
FT   VARIANT    1012   1012       V -> M (

Missing part of the feature table and all of the sequence

Observations
o Problem exists in SRS4_02 and SRS4_04

o Sometimes I get the error message "error parsing mark, bailing out"
  on the controlling terminal. I have no idea where this comes from

o Changing the format to fasta/gcg/swissprot changes the position of the 
  truncation.

o Get the same problem with Netscape, Mosaic, lynx
  Running Mosaic on Alpha with OSF1 3.0 or 3.2 or Decstation with Ultrix 
  does not change the problem.

o When running wgetz from the commandline, the full entry is retrieved. 
  Saving this to a file and loading in Mosaic, displays the full entry

o Commenting the SWISSPROT_FEATURE hyperlink in hyperlink.sdl does not
  solve the problem. It even truncates the entry more.

o While tracing this problem, I found several other small bugs. I will 
  report the changes in a seperate post.

We're not up to OSF/1 3.0 yet but there's a page on 
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/Bugs.html

which tells Problems with OSF/1 Version 3.0 and Scripts  for the CERN daemon.
Now as you run presumably NCSA server code it might be different but these
colleagues claim that there was a problem with SIGPIPE. 

Maybe that helps. 

We're currently finalizing the documentation on how to run SRS under CERN code, if this is of interest to somebody in the readership.

Reinhard

Hi!
I really like that software, thank you for making it available. BUT, I still 
have some problems with it:
-if I do q1 & q2 but they do not have anything in common, I get an empty screen 
(no message or anything else). Considering that the net may be capricious 
sometimes, I don't know if that is the net or the SRS.
-it is enervating that I cannot compare quesries in some, important, cases (q1 
is from a feature, q2 form an organism). I know I have talked about it earlier, 
and got some answers, but in fact WHY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT? WHY THERE ARE 
RESTRICTIONS?
-a funny thing. When I do feature- signal and organism- eukaryota and compare to 
feature- signal and alltext- bmp (bone morphogenetic protein- all of them have 
signal peptide and most of them are eukaryotic) and compare results, here is 
what is happening. One would expect the second query would be a subset of the 
first one. Well...it is not! In fact on the first list there is not a SINGLE 
bmp!
That makes me worry about the quality of the other searches.
Any comments, help, what do I do wrong this time?
ThankX
Przemko

It was indeed OSF related. I finally tracked down the problem.
Reinhard hinted to httpd. So I had a look at that. From the log files I 
found out that if data was truncated, it was truncated to multiples of
8192 bytes, which is the copy-buffer size used by httpd.
So httpd did not send the last, incomplete buffer.
After several tests, I found out that on OSF/1 stdout is not flushed on
termination of the program. So adding fflush(stdout) statements to
each printing routine could solve the problem. I did not want to scan through
the code and do this, so I made stdout unbuffered, by adding 
setbuf(stdout,NULL);
to the main() routine of wgetz. 
This seems to solve the problem.

Jeroen

For those of you who are interested in having direct hypertext links to MEDLINE 
in EMBL entries, the following small modifications will do the job:

1. Edit "hyperlink.sdl"
-----------------------
Only if MEDLINE is not installed at your site, edit the "#linkcall":

  #linkcall /id=%FETCH_MEDLINE 
     /call="<a href=http://atlas.nlm.nih.gov:5700/htbin/ef/entrezmr?%s>%s</a>"

Add the new "#hyperlink":

  #hyperlink /field=@EMBL_RX_FIELD
      /parse=embl_medline /parser=@INSERTLINK_PARSER

Add this line to the "#PARSER":

  embl_medline      = 'RX   ' 'MEDLINE;' ~0-9~<wrt c=@FETCH_MEDLINE f=@F_INSERTHLINK>;


2. Edit "embl.sdl"
------------------
Add this "#field" to "#libformat /id=%EMBL_FORMAT ...":

    #field /gblid=%EMBL_RX_FIELD
           /itype=key /ftype=@DF_MEDLINELINK /idtype=@SRSxSEQID
           /find="medlineid" /begstr="RX   "/nextstr="RX   "
           /relIndexSize=0.5

Add a new "#link":

  #link /id=%EMBL_MEDLINE
        /lib1=@EMBL_DB /lib2=@MEDLINE_DB /type=index
        /field1=@EMBL_RX_FIELD /field2=@MEDLINE_ID_FIELD
        /idtype1=@SRSxSEQID /idtype2=@ENTRY_ID

Add this line to the "#PARSER":

  medlineid  = ~0-9~ <wrt>

********************************************************************************
		  Installation of SRSWWW under CERN httpd 3.0
		    Part 1: Installation of CERN WWW Server
********************************************************************************

This documentation is a "cookbook recipe" for the installation of CERN httpd 3.0 
on UNIX platforms using precompiled binaries. It contains step-by-step 
instructions for the basic (!) setup of the CERN http server. For more detailed 
informations read the CERN Server Guide (see below).


1. Getting Informations and the Program
---------------------------------------
Go to the directory where you want to install the http server (in this example 
called "WWW"). 

%	cd WWW

The CERN server distribution is available from the "ftp.w3.org" anonymous ftp 
account. At the date of this writing, informations about the CERN http deamon 
are located in the directory "pub/www/doc": look for the files 
"cern-httpd-guide.ps.Z" and "cern-httpd-docs.tar.Z" and 'get' them. The first 
is a PostScript version of the CERN Server User Guide, the second is a directory 
comprising a set of HTML documents for the WWW version of the Guide. In this 
example, the WWW version of the Guide will be used to test the successful 
installation of the server.

To get the httpd binaries you have to go to the directory "pub/www/bin". From 
there, go to the subdirectory corresponding to your machine architecture (eg. 
"osf1" if you have an osf1 machine), 'get' the files "cern_httpd_3.0.tar.Z" and 
"cern_httpd_utils_3.0.tar.Z" and 'quit'. 

%	ftp ftp.w3.org
Name:	anonymous
Password: 
ftp>	cd pub/www/doc
ftp>	ls -lsa
ftp>	get cern-httpd-guide.ps.Z  
ftp>	get cern-httpd-docs.tar.Z 
ftp>	cd ../bin
ftp>	ls -lsa
ftp>	cd osf1
ftp>	ls -lsa
ftp>	get cern_httpd_3.0.tar.Z 
ftp>	get cern_httpd_utils_3.0.tar.Z
ftp>	quit

Uncompress all files and untar the tar files. "cern-httpd-docs.tar.Z" will form
the directory "httpd_docs"; "cern_httpd_3.0.tar.Z" together with 
"cern_httpd_utils_3.0.tar.Z" will form the common directory tree "cern_httpd_3.0".

% 	uncompress cern-httpd-guide.ps.Z
% 	uncompress cern-httpd-docs.tar.Z 
%	uncompress cern_httpd_3.0.tar.Z 
%	uncompress cern_httpd_utils_3.0.tar.Z
% 	tar xvf cern-httpd-docs.tar
%	tar xvf cern_httpd_3.0.tar 
%	tar xvf cern_httpd_utils_3.0.tar


2. Customizing the http Configuration File 
------------------------------------------
In the subdirectory "config" of your new directory "cern_httpd_3.0" you will 
find example configuration files. Keep the originals and work on a copy!
The "httpd.conf" file is for a regular http server, the "caching.conf" file is 
for a proxy server and has the advantage that it allows caching. Below are 
examples of customized versions of the "httpd.conf" and "caching.conf"
configuration files. The edited parts are given between pairs of wavy lines 
(#~~~~~~). Follow these examples to customize your configuration file.

EXAMPLE
------------------------------ "httpd.conf"-begin ------------------------------
#
#	Sample configuration file for cern_httpd for running it
#	as a normal HTTP server.
#
# See:
#	<http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/User/Config/Overview.html>
#
# for more information.
#

#

#
#	Set this to point to the directory where you unpacked this
#	distribution, or wherever you want httpd to have its "home"
#
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# ServerRoot	/where/ever/server_root
ServerRoot	/AbsolutePath.../WWW/httpd_docs
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#
#	The default port for HTTP is 80; if you are not root you have
#	to use a port above 1024; good defaults are 8000, 8001, 8080
#
Port	80

#
#	General setup; on some systems, like HP, nobody is defined so
#	that setuid() fails; in those cases use a different user id.
#
UserId	nobody
GroupId	nogroup

#
#	Logging; if you want logging uncomment these lines and specify
#	locations for your access and error logs
#
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# AccessLog	/where/ever/httpd-log
AccessLog	/AbsolutePath.../WWW/log/httpd-access
# ErrorLog	/where/ever/httpd-errors
ErrorLog	/AbsolutePath.../WWW/log/httpd-error
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LogFormat	Common
LogTime		LocalTime

#
#	User-supported directories under ~/public_html
#
UserDir	public_html

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#	The Map-directive maps a virtual URL into a physical path in your file 
#	system. In this example, URLs starting with /httpd-internal-icons/* will 
#	be mapped to the path /cern_icons/*. This address will be passed to the
#	Exec- and Pass-directives that follow.
#
Map	/httpd-internal-icons/*		/cern_icons/*
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#
#	Scripts; URLs starting with /cgi-bin/ will be understood as
#	script calls in the directory /your/script/directory
#
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Exec	/cgi-bin/*	/your/script/directory/*
Exec	/cgi-bin/*	/AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/cgi-bin/*
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#
#	URL translation rules; If your documents are under /local/Web
#	then this single rule does the job:
#
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Pass	/*	/local/Web/*
Pass	/*	/AbsolutePath.../WWW/httpd_docs/*
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#
#	Specify the maximum time to be unused
#
CacheUnused	http:*		2 weeks
CacheUnused	ftp:*		1 week
CacheUnused	gopher:*	1 week

#
#	Specify default expiry times for ftp and gopher;
#	NEVER specify it for HTTP, otherwise documents generated by
#	scripts get cached which is usually a bad thing.
#
CacheDefaultExpiry	ftp:*		10 days
CacheDefaultExpiry	gopher:*	2 days

#
#	Garbage collection controls; daily garbage collection at 3am;
#
Gc		On
GcDailyGc	3:00
---------------------------- "caching.conf"-end --------------------------------


3. Creating Directories and Symbolic Links
-----------------------------------------
If you are not interested in logging information, just leave the corresponding 
part as it is in the original configuration files. If you copied one of the 
customized example files above, go to your directory "WWW" and create the 
subdirectory "log": 

% 	cd WWW
%	mkdir log

If you want to run a proxy server with caching, you also had to indicate the
"CacheRoot" directory, which is "/AbsolutePath.../WWW/cache_root" in the given 
example. Create the corresponding directory: 

%	mkdir cache-root

In the customized configuration files, the Pass-directive for the regular http 
server will map all URLs to the directory "/AbsolutePath.../WWW/httpd_docs" 
(which is the "ServerRoot" directory). If certain URLs have to be mapped to a 
different directory, you have to do two things:
1.	go to your "ServerRoot" directory and add a symbolic link pointing to 
	the respective directory
2.	to your httpd configuration file, add a Map-directive which maps all 
	URLs that start with a certain path to that symbolic link
Eg. the Map-directive "Map /httpd-internal-icons/* /cern_icons/*" maps all URLs 
starting with "/httpd-internal-icons/*" to the symbolic link "cern_icons", which 
shall point to the directory "/AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/icons/". For 
this to work, you have to add the symbolic link "cern_icons", pointing to the 
directory "/AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/icons/", to the "ServerRoot" 
directory.

%	cd  WWW/httpd_docs
%	ln -s /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/icons cern_icons


4. Trying It Out in Verbose Mode
--------------------------------
In order to check whether everything has been set correctly, start the http 
server by hand in verbose mode and look what happens when you make a request 
with your browser. You have to indicate the path of your http configuration file
with the command line option "-r". Test servers are typically run on a non-
priviledged port above 1024, often 8001, 8080, or such (the official http port 
is 80). The server port is defined in the configuration file by the Port-
directive, but you can override it with the command line option "-p" while 
testing it. 

%    cd  WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/bin
%    httpd -v -r  /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/config/httpd.conf -p 8080
or:
%    httpd -v -r  /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/config/caching.conf -p 8080

Now, start your browser and open the URL http://your_server:8080. If everything
works fine you should get the CERN "index.html" (-> "Guide.html") page as a 
Welcome page. There you can read more details about CERN httpd 3.0. 


5. Stand-Alone Installation
--------------------------- 
If you are done with testing, stop the test run. Before starting the http server
in stand-alone mode, change the protection of the two directories "log" and 
"cache_root" to allow access by "nobody".

%	chmod -R 777 log
%	chmod -R 777 cache_root

For the actual installation of httpd in stand-alone mode, you need to create 
a new startup file. Go to the directory where you keep your system startup files 
and set up a new file "S_httpd" as described below.
         
----------------------------- "S_httpd"-begin ----------------------------------
#!/sbin/sh

  if [ -f /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/bin/httpd ] ; then 
    if [ -f /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/config/httpd.conf ] ; then 
    echo "Starting httpd"
    (/AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_httpd_3.0/bin/httpd -r /AbsolutePath.../WWW/cern_
			httpd_3.0/config/httpd.conf) &> /dev/console 
    else 
    echo "Problem with configuration file: no httpd started"
    fi 
  else 
  echo "Problem with httpd image: no httpd started"
  fi
----------------------------- "S_httpd"-end ------------------------------------

Change the protection of the new startup file, then start it.

#	chmod 744 S_httpd
#	S_httpd		

If you did everything correctly, you will get the message "Starting httpd".



Have fun!

********************************************************************************
		  Installation of SRSWWW under CERN httpd 3.0
			Part 2: Installation of SRS
********************************************************************************

This documentation contains step-by-step instructions, for the basic (!) 
installation of the SRS software package on UNIX platforms. For details, see the 
SRS manual at the URL http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/srs/srsman.html.


1. Getting the Program
----------------------
Go to the directory where you want to install SRS (in this example called "SRS").

% 	cd SRS

The SRS package is available from the "ftp.embl-heidelberg.de" anonymous ftp 
account. At the date of this writing, the most recent version of SRS 
("srs4_04.tar.gz") is located in the directory "pub/software/unix/srs". 
(If you do not find the SRS package there, 'get' the INDEX first and search for 
the keyword "srs".) 'ftp' to "ftp.embl-heidelberg.de" and go to the directory 
"pub/software/unix/srs", 'get' the file "srs4_04.tar.gz" and 'quit'. 
Uncompress ('gunzip' requires modification of the filename extension!) and 
untar the file. You will get the directory "srs4_04".

%	ftp ftp.embl-heidelberg.de
Name:	anonymous
Password: 
ftp>	cd pub/software/unix/srs
ftp>	ls -lsa
ftp>	bin 					 
ftp>	get srs4_04.tar.gz 
ftp>	quit
%	mv srs4_04.tar.gz srs4_04.tar.z
%	gunzip srs4_04.tar
%	tar xvf srs4_04.tar


2. Customizing the ODD-Files (".sdl")
-------------------------------------
All ".sdl" files are located in the directory "srs4_04/odd". Before you can 
start to compile the programs, you have to edit the file "srsdb.sdl":

1.	Customize the object "#environment" with the name "unix".
2.	Remove or outcomment ("!") all "#libenv" definitions of databanks you 
	do not have at your site.
3.	For each databank that you would like to index with SRS, modify the 
	given "#libenv" definition if necessary: each databank must be 
	associated with the name of the directory that contains the flatfiles.
	For databanks not listed in the default "srsdb.sdl" file, add a new 
	"#libenv" definition to the object "#environment" and a new "#libid" 
	definition to the object "#srsdb" (set "n" to a number between 1 and 
	255 that has not been used yet.)

EXAMPLE
-------------------------------- "srsdb.sdl" -----------------------------------
...

#environment /name=unix
{
   #libenv /lib=@SWISSPROT_DB  /dir="/data/swissprot/"
   #libenv /lib=@PIR_DB        /dir="/data/pir/"
!   #libenv /lib=@PIRALN_DB     /dir="/data/pir/"
   #libenv /lib=@EMBL_DB       /dir="/data/embl_dna/"
   #libenv /lib=@EMNEW_DB      /dir="/data/emnew/"
   #libenv /lib=@XEMBL_DB      /dir="/data/emnew/"
   #libenv /lib=@XXEMBL_DB     /dir="/data/emnew/"
...

#srsdb
{
    #libid /n=1 /library=@SWISSPROT_DB
    #libid /n=2 /library=@PIR_DB
    #libid /n=3 /library=@EMBL_DB 
    #libid /n=4 /library=@EMNEW_DB
    #libid /n=10 /library=@XEMBL_DB
    #libid /n=11 /library=@XXEMBL_DB
...

-------------------------------- "srsdb.sdl" -----------------------------------
	
Some sequence databanks have a special format when used under GCG (EMBL, 
Genbank, Swissprot). For each of these you need to edit the respective ".sdl" 
file ("embl.sdl","genbank.sdl", "swissprot.sdl"). 

1.	Change the file name(s) that are defined in the "#file" objects.
	(Eg. the EMBL file "est" is usually called "em_est" in the GCG format)
2.	Modify the "#libformat" definition: change the attribute "file_type"
	so that it points to "GCGREF_FILE" and "GCGSEQ_FILE". All you need to
	do is to move the outcomment character ("!").

EXAMPLE
-------------------------------- "embl.sdl" ------------------------------------
...

#library /id=%EMBL_DB 
    /group=@SEQUENCE_LIBS /name=EMBL /logicname=EM, EMBL 
    /format=@EMBL_FORMAT /cachesize=2048 /maxIndexSizeKb=3200
    /oddfile="embl.sdl"
!{
!    #file /name=est 
!    #file /name=patent
...
!    #file /name=sts 
!}       

!names of the files in GCG format
{
    #file /name=em_est /logicname=EM_EST    
    #file /name=patent /logicname=EM_PAT
... 
    #file /name=em_sts /logicname=EM_STS
}       
...

#libformat /id=%EMBL_FORMAT /parser=@EMBL_PARSER
!    /file_type=@EMBLREF_FILE, @EMBLSEQ_FILE 
!GCG format 
    /file_type=@GCGREF_FILE, @GCGSEQ_FILE 
    /featureExpression=@EMBL_FEATURE_EXPRESSION
{
...

-------------------------------- "embl.sdl" ------------------------------------
 
If you have added new databanks to the file "srsdb.sdl", you need to provide 
corresponding ".sdl" files for the new databanks! Do not start from scratch, 
look first what you can use from the existing ".sdl" files. Whenever possible
copy and paste from what is there and modify where required.
If your new databank has the same format as one of those for which you already 
have an ".sdl" file" you may simply add the following things to this file: 

1.	a "#library" definition for the new databank
2.	a "#libformat" definition for the new databank
3.	"#link" definitions if desired

As an example, see the file "embl.sdl" which contains data for both EMBL and 
EMBLNEW. 


3. Compilation
--------------
Now, you can start with the compilation of the programs. Go to the SRS root 
directory ("srs4_04") and invoke 'srsinstall'. This script will ask you
first for the 'make' and 'cc' commands, then it will compile all programs and
create a new binary file with all the data defined by the ".sdl" files. (If you 
get an ERROR message, you have to edit the appropriate file and recompile the 
programs.)
To build the indices, 'source' the file "etc/prep_srs" and issue the command
'srscheck'. (If you get an ERROR message, you have to edit the appropriate file 
and then run 'srssection' to recompile the ".sdl" files.) If all worked fine, 
issue the command 'srsupdate' to start the indexing.
	
% 	cd srs4_04
%	srsinstall all
...	[make]							(press return)
...	[cc]							(press return)
(%	srsinstall all)						
%	source etc/prep_srs
%	srscheck
(%	srssection)
(%	srscheck)
%	srsupdate

To keep the indices up to date automatically, you can create a crontab file with
the three commands 'source /AbsolutePath.../etc/prep_srs', 'srscheck' and 
'srsupdate'.


4. Installation of SRSWWW under CERN httpd 3.0
----------------------------------------------
(See Part 1 for the installation of CERN WWW server)

On the WWW side:
----------------

Go to your httpd "ServerRoot" directory (in this example "WWW/httpd_docs") and 
add two symbolic links (srs, srs_map) which point to the SRS home directory 
"srs4_04/www":

%	cd WWW/httpd_docs
%	ln -s /AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www srs
%	ln -s /AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www srs_map

Now, you have to edit your httpd configuration file (eg. "httpd.conf" or 
"caching.conf"). Add the following Map- and Exec-directives:

EXAMPLE
---------------------- "httpd.conf"-/"caching.conf"-begin ----------------------
...

	Map     /srs/        			/srs_map/index.html
	Map     /srs/*.html  			/srs_map/*.html
	Map     /srs/*.gif   			/srs_map/*.gif
	Map     /cgi-bin/imagemap/srs/*         /cgi-bin/htimage/srs_map/*
...

	Exec    /srs/*          		/AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www/*
...

---------------------- "httpd.conf"-/"caching.conf"-end ------------------------

Finally, you have to change the format of the image configuration file 
"srswww.map" (in directory "srs4_04/www") to fit the CERN style:

EXAMPLE
----------------------------- "srswww.map"-begin -------------------------------
rect (287,168) (382,195) /srs/srsc?-info%20swissprot
rect (80,127) (137,153) /srs/srsc?-info%20embl
rect (376,222) (440,253) /srs/srsc?-info%20hssp
...

circle (57,100) 5 /srs/srsc?-linfo%20ecd%20embl
circle (75,107) 5 /srs/srsc?-linfo%20epd%20embl
circle (57,169) 5 /srs/srsc?-linfo%20mimmap%20embl
...

default /srs/net.html
----------------------------- "srswww.map"-end ---------------------------------

On the SRS side:
----------------

Go to the directory "srs4_04/www" and edit the script "srsc": replace
"./wgetz" by the full path name "/AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www/wgetz".

EXAMPLE
------------------------------ "srsc"-begin ------------------------------------
#!/bin/csh

set noglob # turn off file name expansion...[]!

if (${#argv} == 0) then
  /AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www/wgetz -top
else
  /AbsolutePath.../srs4_04/www/wgetz $*
endif
------------------------------ "srsc"-end - ------------------------------------

SRSWWW inserts many hypertext links into the entries before display. The 
configurations of the hypertext links are defined in the file "hyperlink.sdl".
You need to edit this file if one or more of the databanks addressed are missing
at your site. Eg. if you do not have MEDLINE installed, use the URL given in the 
example below. In other cases you may address SRSWWW servers installed on other 
nodes (Eg. replace "/srs/srsc" by "www.embl-heidelberg.de/srs/srsc".)

EXAMPLE
------------------------- "hyperlink.sdl"-begin --------------------------------
...
#linkcall /id=%FETCH_MEDLINE 
   /call="<a href=http://atlas.nlm.nih.gov:5700/htbin/ef/entrezmr?%s>%s</a>"
...

#linkcall /id=%FETCH_FNUCACCNO
   /call="<a href=http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/srs/srsc?[embl-acc:%s]>%s</a>"
...

------------------------- "hyperlink.sdl"-end-- --------------------------------

After the changes you must run the command "srssection" to recompile the ODD-
files! 

Now, go to the SRS root directory ("srs4_04") and invoke 'srsinstall' with
the commandline option "www":

%	srsinstall www


You can now access SRSWWW with the URL "http://your_server/srs/srsc".



Have fun!

If you are willing to share this information, I'm interested in finding
out the following

o On which machine are you running SRS
 - make
 - configuration

o which version of SRS
 - release number
 - interface

o What use do you make of SRS
 e.g. testing, internal server, external server

o is this machine dedicated to SRS 

o Is your setup sufficient to fullfill your needs

I want to use the information to decide what to purchase for a dedicated
SRS server

jeroen,

as you probably know we have a power challenge or so (irix64) ...it is nice because
it has a big disk cache and a fast bus ...processor is not the problem

i have seen SRS on hp machines ...apparently they can be had with a very 
fast bus which makes SRS as fast as on our silicon graphics but i guess at 
a much cheaper price

regards
thure
