Analysis Framework Developer's Guide

Analysis Description

The Analysis Description file provides detailed information about the various sections of an Analysis.

• Each description MUST have a unique id. This id MUST match the id given to the Analysis in the ncsa.analysis.newAnalyses extension point.

<analysis-description id="ncsa.analysis.maeviz.BridgeFunctionality">
</analysis-description>

• Each description MAY define a location for a custom OgreScript to use instead of auto-generating one. The format for this script will be defined on a separate page.

<analysis-description id="ncsa.analysis.maeviz.BridgeFunctionality">
     <custom-script>scripts/ogrescript-bridgeFunc.xml</custom-script>
</analysis-description>

• The description MUST have a list of groups to which the parameters can be associated.

<analysis-description id="ncsa.analysis.maeviz.BridgeFunctionality">
    <groups>
        <group-name>Required</group-name>
    </groups>
</analysis-description>

• The description MAY (although not having any parameters doesn't make much sense) have a list of parameters.
