# Auto-Launch with FASTQs generated by Standalone BCL Convert Pipeline (Start from FASTQ)

When using BSSH Run Planning to generate a sample sheet to auto-launch analysis on Platform Core, you must designate "Start from Fastq" to be True or False (default is False).\
If you choose "False", BSSH will kick off the TSO 500 pipeline normally using BCL input from the run folder.

If you choose "True" for this option, BSSH will run two Platform Core pipelines in sequence:

* First, it will run the BCL Convert v3.10.9 pipeline to generate the FASTQ files
* Second, it will kick off the TSO 500 pipeline using the FASTQ files generated above as the input

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note. Run QC metrics are generated inside the TSO 500 pipeline from interop files in the run folder. When starting TSO 500 from FASTQ (via auto-launch or manual launch), Run QC metrics will not be generated.
{% endhint %}

When the auto-launched analysis completed, you will see the analysis result shows results from both the BCL Convert pipeline and the TSO 500 pipeline, like below:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/tso500/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.6/launching-analysis/analysis-launch-on-ica/autolaunch/auto-launch-with-fastqs-generated-by-standalone-bcl-convert-pipeline-start-from-fastq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
