Operations Updates
Science Gateway Integration Roadmap Now Available
The ACCESS program is delighted to announce documentation and consultant support for integrating ACCESS allocated Science Gateways into the ACCESS cyberinfrastructure environment. The Science Gateway Integration Roadmap documentation is available through the Operations portal.
This comprehensive documentation provides detailed instructions on how to integrate and operate Science Gateways in ACCESS. It covers a range of tasks, including describing the Science Gateway to enable researcher discovery, requesting ACCESS allocations and community accounts, creating an affinity group where gateway users can interact and reporting which gateway users consumed allocated resources. A Science Gateways integration concierge/consultant is available to assist with the integration process and the integration roadmap documentation.
Anyone with questions or requiring assistance should contact us via the ticketing system.
New ACCESS Resource Provider Software Discovery Interface
The ACCESS program and integrated Resource Providers have introduced the ability to discover software available across the ACCESS environment. With this new capability, new and existing allocated researchers can more easily discover which resources offer the software they need. For allocated researchers, this capability means they can discover all available versions of software they use. They are also provided with instructions on how to access each version of the software from the command line. The new software discovery interface is available here.
For software developers, ACCESS provides two ways to implement software discovery in portals and using other software tools:
To request that a resource provider publish their software, or that they install new software, open a researcher support ticket. To request assistance with the Operations API, the web app or with RP software publishing, open an operations support ticket.
