The GCOS SDK provides programmatic access
into the GCOS system allowing for system integration, automation and customization.
With the GCOS SDK a user can programmatically communicate with the GCOS Server
or Desktop version. With the GCOS SDK a programmer can:
- Manage the workflow
such as Sample Registration, Experiment Setup and analysis.
- Access information
about the installed GCOS system including configuration information.
- Load
collections of objects bases on a variety of experimental filters.
- Manage
sample and experiment templates.
- Read, write, delete and update experimental
data.
- Publish experimental results to a AADM compliant database.
- Create
an AADM compliant database.
- Import non-GCOS generated GeneChip® array
data into the GCOS system.
- Re-analyze GeneChip array data with specific
parameters.
- Generate reports (RPT) for CHP data.
The GCOS SDK is written as a set of DCOM interfaces. Languages that support COM
such as C++, VB, VC++ and ASP can access the SDK interfaces.
The GCOS SDK is
also written as Java classes to support the Java language. The implementation
of the Java classes uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) technology to communicate
with the COM version of the SDK. With this implementation, the use of the Java
interfaces is restricted to a Windows OS environment only.
The interfaces are divided up into action
and data
objects. The majority of objects serve as containers for data. Several objects
perform actions on the data container objects. Included in the action objects
are a connection object which manages the database connection and an admin object
to manages security and publishing tasks.
Download the GCOS SDK,
including the interface descriptions and sample programs from the download center.
The download center is available to licensed users only. Please note: your use
of the GCOS SDK is subject to the Affymetrix Terms
and Conditions provided therewith.
