The TaskBean Manager tool lists all the TaskBean Components available for the user to choose from when creating a Job. The tool allows the user to view the available TaskBeans and view various details about them.
New TaskBeans can be added to the JobServer
environment by the administrator. This is done by placing the TBA (TaskBean Archive) files into the
jobserver/taskbean directory.
The "Reload Repository" button will unpack new or modified TBA files so that they can be available or Jobs to use. This is only necessary if you add new TaskBeans (TBA files) while the JobServer is running. The JobServer will automatically unpack new TBA files during the JobServer startup phase.
The "Job Info" button will display basic information regarding the TaskBean of
interest. This is the meta information provided by the TaskBean developer. This is the
information found in the taskbean.conf file.
The "TaskBean Customizer" button will display the GUI Customizer for the TaskBean if it has an associated Customizer.
The "Input Viewer" button will display the GUI input Viewer for the TaskBean if it has an associated Viewer.
The "Output Viewer" button will display the GUI output Viewer for the TaskBean if it has an associated Viewer.
