Preferably we should put the tutorial information in the Airavata Wiki,
where it can be more easily updated. So I suggest having wiki entries
for the new 5 and 10 minute introductions.

Hi all,
Thank you very much for the guide. I was able to successfully run the
simple echo workflow by following above steps.
Observed one issue in the flow where when we first build airavata (without
tests), extract distribution/modules/server and try to start Airavata
server it fails with Zookeeper already in use error. It seems when building
integration-tests module, as per the pom, it internally starts a server
and shut it down. may be this shut down doesn't work as expected. I then
killed this process and started with ./airavata-server.sh which was a
success.
As per Marlon's advice let me first spend some time on looking at the code
on how to bring XBaya module back and define set of tasks for getting
started.
Meanwhile would the best option be integrating the Xbaya back and then
update the tutorials to go with it? Or else can we update the tutorials for
the current approach mentioning the above provided steps in details, so any
newcomer can try on.
Thanks!

Hi Ishara,
To run a workflow with XBaya, first you need to register the applications
for that follow the steps mentioned in Chathuri's reply. Then follow these
steps,
1. Start the XBaya GUI
2. Setup registry with XBaya, Registry --> Setup Airavata Registry and
fill the dialog with "API_SERVICE", localhost, 8930 , airavata , airavata ,
then click OK. Now you will see all registered applications under
"Application" component in "Component List" menu.
3. Create a simple workflow by drag and drop . ex: input --> Echo -->
output ,
4. Run the workflow, Run Applications --> Execute Application
5. Then give experiment name and input value, for echo workflow give
"Echoed_Output=Hello World" as input value.
6. Click the Run button.
Note: At the moment XBaya only work for simple applications.
Let us know if you hit any issue down the path.

Hi Ishara--
I'm glad to hear about your interest. Getting XBaya integrated back with
the Thrift API would be a great contribution. Note also Shameera Yodage
has been working on this and can clarify if he has any recent fixes that
need to be committed to master.
You will need to create Jiras if appropriate ones don't exist. We
ideally follow the epic-story-subtask pattern. Epics are collections of
Jira stories. Jira stories are collections of related tasks (entered as
Jira subtasks). Each subtask is a well-defined, closeable problem. These
should be self describing and prescriptive: after reading a subtask
description, anyone should be able to close it.
When you complete a subtask, attach your fix as a patch in Jira.
I recommend spending some time first outlining a set of story tasks
before diving into the code to fix miscellaneous bugs.

Hi Saminda,
Thanks a lot for the inputs. I have been trying through the suggestions
you
have given above however there are still some roadblocks when getting
Airavata samples working back. Here are few of the things i noticed.
1. At the time of Airavata server start there are following error log can
be seen several time as 'Address already in use'. But server still starts
fine.
[INFO] Finished starting ZK: State:CONNECTED Timeout:6000
sessionid:0x148a04560ce0000 local:/127.0.0.1:57593

:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
[INFO] Database already created for Registry!
2. In tutorial it says to load the math-service-workflow from WSDL URI,
but
the GUI has no menu option for it.
3. Tried to run CreateLaunchExperiment class from IDE and register
applications programmatically, but those are not getting registered under
localhost. I tried with registering echo module under localhost, but got
stuck with the below error in middle.
InvalidRequestException(message:Experiment
'echoExperiment_0102904b-7266-4cb5-ad1d-7fa3709393b3' launch failed.

I am very happy to contribute in getting the tutorials back to track with
the 0.14 release. Please advice if i need to create a doc JIRA for this.
However as i feel we will have to first fix these issues to get the
samples
running.
Thanks!

hi Ishara,
The quickstart tutorial is out of date as of last 2 releases. You're
welcome to create a JIRA to discuss updates to the tutorial.
XBaya as a client was discontinued since 0.12 Airavata release due to
major architectural and design changes that incurred in the Airavata
Server
(in short the scope of the features, the internal component
architecture,
data models, the API and the service layer for the API changed).
For 0.14 release we are targeting on a minimum functionality XBaya GUI
client that can compose/register/launch workflows (perhaps more).
Even-though the XBaya maven module (which you've mentioned) is present
in
the trunk, the actual maven module which creates the XBaya GUI binary
distribution is not yet present in the trunk. You are welcome to create
JIRA and provide patches to introduce this module back to the trunk. You
may refer a previous revision of Airavata source (before 0.12 release).
IMO for the time being simplest solution to run the XBaya GUI is by
executing the org.apache.airavata.xbaya.XBaya class through the IDE.

Hi Devs,
I have been trying to build Airavata from the source code using git
repository [1] and after successfully building i tried to run Airavata
server and GUI as mentioned in the tutorial here [2]. The Airavata
server
starts fine but when going to start Xbaya GUI using 'xbaya-gui.sh' as
the
tutorial says i could notice that it has not been generated there in
Airavata_HOME/modules/xbaya-gui/bin directory.
Is there anything missing in the source build (0.14-SNAPSHOT) or am i
referring to a wrong location to find this script? May i please know
how to
overcome this issue and get the GUI running.
Thanks!
