[Opaltoolkit-users] Opal 2.4 Release

[Sriram K. <sr...@sd...>]

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4 of the Opal  
Toolkit.

New features in the 2.4 release of Opal include:
- Additional operation added to Opal WSDL and AppService  
implementation to get system information (number of jobs running/ 
queued, job manager type, data lifetime, etc)
- Updated database schema to support ACTIVE/INACTIVE service status,  
which will be used while plotting usage information. Inactive services  
will not be plotted. This feature is not available for HSQL DB
- Ability to set the DRMAA queue in the opal.properties, and override  
it in the application configuration
- A set of absolute paths now accessible to applications via the  
opal.properties. In the past applications only had access to the Opal  
working directory
- Support for recursive listing of output directories for the  
getOutputs() operation

Bug fixes include:
- Reset of error messages on the Dashboard, which were never reset in  
the prior release
- Usage Statistics fixes
-- Checking/unchecking boxes, which didn't work in the prior release
-- Error in the calculation of jobs when the services had similar names

Opal 2.4 can be downloaded from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opaltoolkit/files/

Sincerely,
Opal Team
