Error while using OMSSA search

Dear All,

I am trying to run the following workflow

For the example dataset, the run completed successfully. But for the real dataset I get the error below:

OMSSA ran out of RAM because chunking was not used (that’s the default) or ‘chunk_size’ was too large (>30k).

ERROR OMSSAAdapter 0:11 Failing process stdout: [, Progress of ‘OMSSA search’:, Error: OMSSA problem! See above for OMSSA error. If this does not help, increase ‘debug’ level and run again., Note: This message can also be triggered if you run out of space in your tmp directory or (32bit OMSSA only) OMSSA ran out of RAM because chunking was not used (that’s the default) or ‘chunk_size’ was too large (>30k).

So I changed the configuration settings in OMSSAAdpater, but I still get the same error

(I changed the default chunk_size from 0 to 10000 and 30000)

Could someone please suggest what’s the correct way to proceed?

I am using OpenMS plugin installed in Knime on Windows.

Thanks a lot for your time,

Hi Deepa,
I am very sorry that I saw your post so late.

  1. How did you generate the Blast library for your fasta database? See the OMSSAAdapter documentation.
    216: Fatal: COMSSA::Run() - Unable to open blast library C:\Users\deepa\Downloads\knime\ashcroft\uniprot.fasta with error:NCBI C++ Exception:, “…\src\objtools\blast\seqdb_reader\seqdbfile.cpp”, line 209: Error: ncbi::CSeqDBIdxFile::CSeqDBIdxFile() - Error: Not a valid version 4 database., ]
  2. Where is your temp folder and do you have space there?
