Following updates will be present Airavata API from 0.8 release.
1. *Error message from the immediate exception used as the error message for the AiravataAPInvocationException*. Earlier it was just "Error invoking API". *This change was made so that the users of the API can show the error from the exception without having to dig in to the inner exception to get a better error message.* 2. *Saving and retrieving experiment execution error details*. Earlier we were not persisting any execution error details of the workflow. Error details are only available only if the developers are monitoring experiment at the time of error occurs. *This is not feasible if users would only want to go through the error details later without doing monitoring from the beginning. Therefore we are now persisting the error details (not as part of provenance data) of executing workflows (i.e. experiments)* in to the registry and also retrieving from registry through Airavata API (which calls the Registry API). For now we have the functions for saving and retrieving errors in the ExecutionManager[1]. We need to decide if this is the correct place to put these functions. Your thoughts in this matter are most welcome... Thanks, Saminda 1. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/airavata/trunk/modules/airavata-client/src/main/java/org/apache/airavata/client/api/ExecutionManager.java
