Java virtual machine issues

• Requires Java 1.4.2 to run (all older versions of Java have reached end-of-life support by Sun)
• This version cannot run on SGI IRIX machines, as SGI has not updated their Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implementation in years, and have only Java 1.4.1.
• Some users report having issues with non-official JVMs (eg Blackdown, gcj). If you are having issues running the Pipeline on Linux boxes, please try running the Pipeline using an official JVM from Sun.

Grid engine issues

• On 64bit processors, Pipeline needs to be run with 64bit capabilities enabled. This can be done by issuing the command "java -d64 -jar pipeline.jar"
• Sun's AMD Opteron JVM build 1.5.0_01-b08 is faulty wrt 64bit mode. Upgrade to build 1.5.0_04-b05.

Pipeline module corruption

• For various reasons, a Pipeline module (the .module XML file) may become corrupted and cause issues in the execution. If this is the case, try saving the pipeline as another file using the "save as" option.

User configuration corruption (2005-11-15)

• If double-clicking on the Pipeline.jar file does nothing, and Java is installed, try running the jar file from the command line "java -jar pipeline.jar". If the message you get is "could not instantiate null", there may be a corruption on your configuration. To resolve this, try moving your configuration folder (located at ~/.pipeline/config) to another location and restarting the Pipeline. If this works, please submit a bug and attach a copy of your configuration, so that we can debug the specific issue.

Execution configuration corruption (2006-2-16)

• This is specific to Beta version 6.2 - When you handcode the cache directory, from Application->Options->ExecutionOption, the cache files

may not get created in your new cache directory - Then, please try running beta version (6.3 or higher) and specify a new cache directory, the change is propagated immediately to the application and any subsequent runs of pipeline modules will have their intermediate files stored in the specified directory -
