Question: How do I check if I am actually on caGrid sharing my microarray data?

Step 2. When a list of caArray services opens, click one link to query for the service. In this example "CaArraySvc (1.2 )@ Case Comprehensive Cancer Center" was selected. On the resulting page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Query" button.

Step 4: On the next page, wait until the status is updated to "COMPLETE". Then select "View Results" from the "Operations" dropdown box. If your data is on the caGrid, you will see the query result for your chosen object. In this example, the caArray instance contains 33 edu.georgetown.pir.Organism entries.
