From WikiOAR
Student and mentor ;), please read carefully this page...
Student: Sundeep Kumar Mishra
Mentor: Olivier Richard
Co-Mentor: Romain Cavagna
Student: Things to do before starting
- Practice OAR RESTfull API.
- Learn ExtJs 3.x (have also a look to ExtJs' books).
- Study the first prototype in trunk/visualization_interfaces/poar.
- Play with Kameleon.
Project Pseudo-Specification
Draft
- Portal should be ergonomic, sober, extensible
- Use https + basic authentication for simple login
- 3 kinds of users (anonymous, regular, admin)
- Integration of iframe (to simple integration of external web page) (see 1rst propotype)
- History between widget/panel/layout (see 1rst propotype)
- job submission (use of datepicker, simple timepiker via combo boxes ?,...)
- Job grids
- monika/ drawgantt integration
- oaradmin integration
- help/documentation integration
- extensibility (multi-oar, cigri, portal/portlet)
- processingjs integration (fancy animation, pie chart, plot, bar chart)
- integration of pie/graph/chart libraries (like http://g.raphaeljs.com/)
- user's preferences (need of DB table)
Initial implementation Workplan
Main Milestones
-
Extjs-3.2.1 version of first prototype with (global layout, iframe, history...) - Job Submission (simple and advance submission)
- Display information for one job
- Display information for one resource
- List of resources
- List of jobs
- Processing.js integration (for plot, chart, pie chart and other fancy widget and animations...)
- oaradmin integration and interactions

Tips
How to test poar prototype
- Use debian_oar_devel appliance built thanks to kameleon. Note: the redir option to have ssh and http access into guest from host
sudo kvm -m 512 -redir tcp:2222::22 -redir tcp:8080::80 debian_oar_devel.raw
- Rsync poar directory from host to /var/www/ in the guest
cd oar_directory/trunk/visualization_interfaces rsync -avz --rsh="ssh -l root -p 2222" --delete poar localhost:/var/www
- Launch browser on poar
firefox localhost:8080/poar/poar.html
Note: Of course you can put public key to avoid to enter password.
scp -P 2222 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub kameleon@localhost:/home/kameleon/.ssh/ scp -P 2222 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@localhost:/root/.ssh/
How to add virtual nodes and ressources on appliance
- A simple way in running appliance. First add some hostnames in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.2 node1 node2 node3 node4
- Second add nodes and ressources in oar's DB (2 ressources by node)
oarnodesetting -h node2 -a oarnodesetting -h node2 -a oarnodesetting -h node3 -a oarnodesetting -h node3 -a
- One can also use oaradmin command to add ressources
Debuging with firefox
- Use firebug extension
