[ome-users] Importing large image series and Cell^R data

[Colin Rickman]

Hi

I'm just testing our new OMERO installation and have a few questions/problems with importing.

1. I'm uploading a 740,000 frame tiff series with a total size just over 90GB. Using the importer it says uploading 0 of 1 so I assume it has decided to convert it to a single multidimensional ome.tif. After 15 hours it failed with the statement file invalid. My questions are, is there a maximum upload size, is there a maximum ome.tif size, how can I choose to upload all files of a series as a series rather than convert them in to one file?

While this was uploading I attempted to convert the series to an ome.tif in FIJI and this failed at just over 4GB. FIJI was able to convert the series to a single .tif without any problems.

2. My other problem is uploading Olympus Cell^R/Cell Excellence data. Bioformats in FIJI seems to understand the database structure ok but in OMERO it uploads some of the data and names them after the database file names (e.g. xxxx.apl now contains image data) rather than the data names.

Thanks

Colin
