Run the Protocol

You can run the selected protocol when all required parameters are set. If you attempt to run a protocol with missing required parameters an error will report the problem. If the protocol does not require configuration of parameters, it is run immediately when you select it from the Protocol Gallery or from search results.

Click Submit.

Tip: Some protocols may be designed to display a different launch interface. In this case there may not be a Submit button, follow the protocol's instructions.

The protocol runs with the parameter settings that you configured.

Stop the Protocol

You can stop a running protocol if necessary.

Click Cancel Running Job?

The protocol is stopped and a termination message is displayed.

You can Return to the Launcher Form and change parameters or refresh the Pipeline Pilot Launchpad widget to re-run the protocol.
