Analysis Framework Developer's Guide

There are four steps required to add an Analysis to the Analysis Framework.

Step One: Create the Analysis Description

First, one must create a new Analysis Description file for the Analysis. This will require knowledge of the parameters, outputs, and runtime requirements of the Analysis to be implemented.

Step Two: Create the Task

Second, one must implement the Analysis as a Task. Pick the appropriate base class and implement the required methods. Remember that the keys given to the parameters in the Analysis Description must match the set methods in this class.

Step Three: Register with the ncsa.analysis.newAnalyses extension point

Third, register this extension. Remember that the id here must match the id given in the Analysis Description and the tag must match the tag in the ncsa.tools.ogrescript.ogreTasks extension point.

Step Four: Register with the ncsa.tools.ogrescript.ogreTasks extension point.

Lastly, register the Task with this extension point. Remember that the tag here must match the tag given in the ncsa.analysis.newAnalyses extension point above.
