Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] Launching VLAM workflows from myExperiment

[Jiten Bhagat]

Hi Marco,

Very nice :-)

With the new workflow agnostic design, it is absolutely possible to have 
a different "Run" section, as well as "Workflow Components" section.

To do this would require two main things:
1) Write a workflow processor to provide extra support for that specific 
type of workflow.
   - The workflow processor interface is here: 
http://myexperiment.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/workflow_processors/interface.rb. 

   - The Taverna 1 processor is here (for reference): 
http://myexperiment.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/workflow_processors/taverna_scufl.rb.
2) [optionally] Write specific UI views for that workflow type. 
Currently only "run options" and "internals" views are possible.
   - Taverna 1 run options view: 
http://myexperiment.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/app/views/workflows/taverna_scufl/_run_options.rhtml
   - Taverna 1 internals view here: 
http://myexperiment.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/app/views/workflows/taverna_scufl/_internals.rhtml

That's a high level overview of what would be required.

As Dave says in his email, we'll discuss this in today's chat.

Cheers,
Jits
