Fix

Make sure you have updated your .bashrc file as directed in Step 3: Setting up your user environment for GenPipes access. Once you set up the correct RAP_ID when you run the bash commands for your pipeline, they all go through and get scheduled depending on the scheduler (default or as as specified by -j option in pipeline command)
