1 # Galaxy NCBI Entrez Tools
2
3 This repo requires a readme as administrators should very aware of some
4 restrictions NCBI places on the use of the Entrez service.
5
6 NCBI requests that you please limit large jobs to either weekends or between
7 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM Eastern time during weekdays. This is not a request that
8 the Galaxy tool can easily service, so we've included it in the disclaimer on
9 every tool quite prominently.
10
11 Failure to comply with NCBI's policies may result in an block until you/the
12 user contacts NCBI and registers the tool ID and their email.
13
14 Note that these are *IP* level blocks so the Galaxy tools uses a concatenation
15 of the administrator's emails, and the user email, in hopes that NCBI will
16 contact all relevant parties should their system be abused.
17
18 Additionally, since these are IP level blocks, the Galaxy tool author (@erasche) recommends
19 using the following `jobs_conf.xml` snippet in order to place a system-wide
20 restriction of 1 concurrent Entrez job amongst all users.
21
22 ```xml
23 <destination id="entrez" runner="local">
24 </destination>
25 <limit type="concurrent_jobs" id="entrez">1</limit>
26 <tools>
27 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.efetch" destination="entrez" />
28 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.esearch" destination="entrez" />
29 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.epost" destination="entrez" />
30 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.elink" destination="entrez" />
31 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.einfo" destination="entrez" />
32 <tool id="ncbi.eutils.esummary" destination="entrez" />
