Troubleshooting
If an automation trigger does not appear to run its corresponding scripts, refer to the Troubleshooting Automation section in the Clarity LIMS (API & Database) documentation.
The Validate Analysis Configuration automation check is in the Make Bulk Pool (upon pooling) and Load to Library Tube Strip (upon step entry) steps. If a failure happens, an error message displays and the step can be aborted, or you might be prevented from continuing the step. Refer to Set Up Secondary Analysis in NovaSeq X Series documentation for limits of the number of analysis application and reference genome combinations supported.
This check can fail for the following reasons:
The analysis configuration after library pooling or during the planned run creation exceeds the configuration limit.
Resolve this error as follows.
If the error occurs on the Make Bulk Pool step, reduce the number of analysis configurations for a pool. To reduce the number, reorganize the samples for the pooling step (eg, by pooling samples that have similar configurations together).
If the error occurs on the Load to Library Tube step, reduce the number of analysis configurations for the planned run by reorganizing the samples for multiple runs instead of a single run.
ACTs of samples in the same pool or planned run must have the same run mode (Local).
Resolve this error as follows.
Abort the step and remove samples with ACTs that have conflicting run modes from the Ice Bucket.
Pooled samples assigned with the same secondary analysis application must have the same analysis version (e.g. v3.8.4) and settings (e.g. Map/Align Output Format = CRAM).
Resolve this error as follows.
Error When Creating Planned Runs
If you receive an error when creating a planned run, check the log message in the Load to Library Tube Strip step to identify the issue. If you cannot correct the issue, contact Illumina Support.
Incompatible Analyses in a Planned Run
Only compatible analysis versions should be combined in a single planned run. When incompatible analysis versions are combined, an error log message displays. An example of the error log message is shown below.
To resolve this error, check the ACTs that were used for the run and only select the ACTs that are compatible with the planned run.
Automated Step Does Not Start
If the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0) step does not start, Clarity LIMS is likely not receiving sequencing run events from Illumina Run Manager correctly.
The instrument must be reflected as Connected and Active in the Illumina Run Manager Integration UI. Reconnect the instrument if the status reflects otherwise.
If the issues remain, contact Illumina Support.
Automated Step Starts, But Does Not Complete

How the Integration Works
The following information summarizes how the NovaSeq X Series On-Premise Integration works.
After the 'Validate Run Setup and Create Planned Run' automation is triggered on the Load to Library Tube Strip (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0) step, the run parameters entered in the Run Details screen and the sample informations are sent to Illumina Run Manager. Illumina Run Manager validates the run and analysis configuration before the planned run is created, the automation also generates the sample sheet and attaches it to the step. In the event of incomplete information or misconfiguration on the planned run, an error will be displayed on the automation banner and details of the error will be logged in the automation log file.
When the sequencing run starts on the instrument, the NovaSeq X Series Control Software notifies the Illumina Run Manager integration. The events are processed and the integration service retrieves the run information from NovaSeq X Illumina Run Manager. This information is used to populate the custom fields in the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0) step.
If a planned run with the same sample name and project name (case-insensitive) has been created previously in Illumina Run Manager, the sample sheet generated from the 'Validate Run Setup and Create Planned Run' automation can reflect the original case of the previous sample name. This can cause validation errors for analysis configurations with sample-level settings. To resolve this issue, change the sample name or the project name on Clarity LIMS and run the automation again.
Configuration of Instrument Setting
The integration requires secondary analysis files to be present on the instrument for proper functioning of the AUTOMATED - Analysis Run step.
The following instrument setting must be disabled:
Permanently delete secondary analysis files from the instrument after they are transferred to the external storage and/or cloud.
Start a Sequencing Run on NovaSeq X Series Instrument
To start a planned run, please refer to .
Enabling Planned Run Generation for Samples Having Duplicate Name with Different Indexes
The library preparation workflow of the samples must be before routing the samples through the library preparation workflow.

Rules and Constraints
The workflow configuration contains several validation checks. To make sure that the calculations work properly, it is important that you do not disable any of this validation logic. The validation checks determine the following information:
Which samples, and how many, can enter each step together.
Which samples, and how many, can be pooled together.
Samples have the Molarity (nM) global field set to a valid value (required for the 'Calculate Volumes' automation in the Make Bulk Pool step).
.
The protocol contains a single step - Library Prep Validation v2.3.5. After this step, a routing script sends the samples to the first step of the NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0 workflow (Assign Analysis Configuration Template (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)).
Steps:
Library Prep Validation v2.3.5
Assign Analysis Configuration Template (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)
The secondary analysis of samples is configured using the ACT.
The labels applied to the samples are validated against the selected ACT to ensure that samples use valid labels.
Make Bulk Pool (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)
Samples are pooled and resuspension buffers and reagents are added with the help of the 'Calculate Volumes' automation.
ACT of pooled samples are validated with Validate Analysis Configurations automation to ensure that the secondary analysis configurations remain valid after pooling.
Dilute and Denature (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)
Samples from step 2 are denatured and diluted to the final loading concentration with the help of the 'Calculate Volumes' automation.
Load To Library Tube Strip (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)
The library pools from step 3 are now ready to be loaded to the NovaSeq X Series library tube strip.
Run and analysis information is validated.
Samplesheet is generated and planned run is created on NovaSeq X Illumina Run Manager.
AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0)

Other run events follow the same information flow. When sequencing is complete, the control software uploads the sequencing run data (primary metrics). Then, Illumina Run Manager integration retrieves the primary metrics and uses them to populate the fields in the Sample Details table (e.g., % Error Rate R1). The custom fields (e.g., Run Status, Current Read, and so on) on the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0) step are updated using the run related information. If the sequencing run is successfully completed, the step automatically completes.
The integration tracks the analysis events and results in the AUTOMATED - Analysis Run (NovaSeq X Series On-Prem Sequencing v1.0) step. The secondary analysis results are in the external storage configured in Illumina Run Manager. The external storage information is found in the External Storage for Analysis Results configuration settings in Illumina Run Manager.
