Where data copied from BaseSpace to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core are stored
There are two ways to copy data from BaseSpace to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core (Platform Core, formerly, Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA)). However, all data are transferred to a BaseSpace Sequence Hub(BSSH)-Managed Project in Platform Core that is named BSSH [Name of the User Account/Workgroup on BaseSpace].
Note: the pages/images shown below include the legacy Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA) naming at this time.
1. BaseSpace to Platform Core Data Copy: If the run/project was transferred using the BaseSpace to Platform Core (ICA) Data Copy app, the data are sent to a folder inside the 'ilmn-analyses' folder within the BSSH-managed project.
The path to the data folder in Platform Core can be obtained from the Summary tab of the Appsession on BaseSpace.

In this example a project was transferred using the BaseSpace to Platform Core (ICA) Data Copy app, and the data folder for the project files can be found in Platform Core, in the BaseSpace-managed project, inside the ilmn-analyses folder.

2. Auto-launch: Runs that are uploaded to BaseSpace from instruments or using BaseSpace CLI can be directly copied over to Platform Core, and analyzed using workflows that are triggered automatically. Check Sequencer Integration for more details about this.
Runs that are transferred this way can be found in a folder named ilmn-runs while the output files from the auto-launched analyses can be found in a folder named ilmn-analyses in the BSSH-managed project in Platform Core.
Users can directly access the analysis page in Platform Core from the Files tab of the auto-launched AppSession on BaseSpace.

Selecting 'View Files on ICA' navigates to the analysis summary page in Platform Core.
Note: 'View Files on ICA' is only available if the user has a Platform Core subscription.

The User Reference on this page can be used to locate the output files from the analysis. Selecting More in the workflow section provides the User Tag that indicates the path to the run folder in Platform Core.

Navigating to the Data tab, in the ilmn-runs folder.

Navigating to the ilmn-analyses folder in Data, the folder name that starts with the User Reference contains the output from the auto-launched analysis.
