Upload of new Software

SoftwareUploadWizard (SUW) widget allows a Resource Management Portlet super user to create a new Service resource through a step-by-step wizard.

Software Upload Wizard

Where to start Software Upload Wizard in Resource Management Portlet

SUW application can be reached by accessing Resources Management Portlet, which in time can be usually reached by accessing a VO area in the portal. Once Resources Management Portlet is open, SUW can be started by selecting the Software category and the click on the "Upload software" button on the menu panel on top of the main window of RMP.

Only users that own VO-Admin rights can start Software Upload Wizard.

Managed Software Types

SUW currently manages 6 defined software types and 1 special use case.

In most cases the user has to provide:

• List of maven dependencies: groupId, artifactId and artifact version
• Data for deliverables generation
  • Maintainers list: First and Last name, email, organization
  • List of software changes: ticket number and modification description
  • Software usage notes: installation notes, configuration notes, descriptive list of software dependencies , uninstallation notes
  • License
