Hi Arek,
So sorry for the confusion! I was actually trying to do 2 things
here: 1) see if I could simultaneously search my local dataset and
Ensembl (some reagents in my dataset have their Ensembl ID stored as a
property),
yes you can do it: you need
MartURLLocation to www.biomart.org
MartDBLocation to your database
(you also need to have importables set correctly on your datasets)
and 2) link 2 datasets in my own mart on localhost. Think I confused
too many things............
for that you just need
MartDBLocation to your own mart plus
exportables and importables set correctly on your datastes.

Best regards,

Marina -
this URLLocation will only pick up one dataset called "my_dataset".
(if there is no such dataset on web server localhost:5555 then you
will
see the error message as above)
The server you are trying to configure will talk to another
local BioMart server running on port 5555 using a web service.
If you want more than one dataset you need to leave 'includeDatasets'
empty.
However, I am not sure that I understand why you want to talk to
another local BioMart server
rather than talking directly to your postgress instance through
MartDBLocation?
Is it not the case that you need MartDBLocation set to talk to your
postgress database or
MartURLLocation talking to a public server eg. www.biomart.org? Why
are
you trying
to 'chain' local servers like that? I simply don't understand what
you
are trying to do. Could
you elaborate on this a bit? maybe there is an alternative way of
doing
what you are trying to do
