Hi Devs, I am thinking of improving the usability of the document registration (host,service,deployement) to make the life easier for the Science gateway users.
Users will fill out only one form not 3, User simply have to register a service ... User will tell what is the input parameters looks like (parameter Name/type - comes from a drop down) We will make it optional to register the host description, so we will defined the host descriptions for the given set of Super computers, users just have to select from a dropdown, if user adds a new one it will pick it from the registry and will be displayed in the dropdown. Then user will tell where is the actual script located in the grid (Executable location). User doesn't have to give any scratch location (If user want it can be configured but by default user doesn't have to ) We will derive a scratch location (temporary location to store the inputs/outputs) from the given script location. (In the UI we need to show the derived temp location.. if user doesn't want that location to be the temp location users simply have to edit it) User have to give the RSL parameter, more specifically the project Name ... other parameter will be filled based no the selected host.. But mostly we expect users to fill out the Queue Name, Job type etc. If you have any concern about this please provide some input...
