Scheduler Portlet


The scheduler portlet is an interface implemented for the client with the general purpose of scheduling transfers. The client has also the option of monitoring and canceling a transfer. The Scheduler Portlet also provides statistics about the agent nodes so that the user can choose the most beneficial agent.

On the left side, there is the main form where the user can choose between several ways of scheduling such as 'direct', 'manually' by giving the specific time instance and 'periodically' by giving the frequency and the start time instance.

Main Form


On the right side, there are two panels. The one contains the toolbar for selecting source and destination type and the other contains the source and destination stores. Available source types are the workspace, the datasources and the URI's.

Toolbar


When the user chooses the source, several files from the source are shown in the source panel. The user can select the files he wants to transfer via dragging and dropping them in the target panel on the right. Notice that the destination/target panel can contain only files and not folders.

There are four buttons here:
-hide main in order to see the right panel full width
-refresh tree so as to reload the source store
-clear target to clean the already selected files and
-schedule for scheduling a transfer.

Source & Destination Panels


On the bottom, there is a form which shows information about the user's scheduled transfers. Information provided is: id,status type and submitted date. The user is able by double-clicking on one of them to submit a command for this specific transfer. Available commands are: monitor, get outcomes, and cancel.

Two tool-buttons here
-refresh for reloading the transfers and
-view agent statistics
