The first line shows the version of Nextflow you are running. The second line shows the version of the workflow you are running. The third line shows the executor you are using. An executor in Nextflow describes the actual system the steps of the workflow are running on. In this case the Slurm executor was used, which is software for computer clusters. The next several lines show the actual steps of the workflow as they are running. The final four lines appear when the workflow completes, showing the completion time, how long it took, and the number of steps that succeeded.

Workflow Log

The log file called .nextflow.log will appear in the directory in which the workflow was run. It can be helpful for determining the cause of any problems. A log file will also be generated for each task executed by the workflow, which will be described below.

Workflow Results

By default, all results will be output to the results/nf-ms-dda-casanovo subdirectory in the directory in which the workflow was run. In this directory is a subdirectory for each program that was run as part of the workflow. A full description of output files can be found below.

Output Files

Below are each subdirectory created in results/nf-ms-dda-casanovo and a description of files that will be found in those directories.
