Objective

To gain easy access to files and folders to jobs submitted to GDM by generating usable urls in emails.

Every job submission is associated with a file path. These file paths should be replaced with a live link (generated url) IF the instance of GDM is configured with an ownCloud instance,  or else maintain the regular folder paths. This link can either link to a file or a folder. When users click on that link, the livelink will open the content of a file or a folder.

  1. within the file table of the email, path(s) should be a clickable link
    1. upon clicking the link, it should take users to ownCloud with the file in preview mode or download the file if file is too large to preview
    2. all urls should start with http:// Deb Weigand  
    3. if preview mode cannot be achieved from 1a above, then LiveLinks should take you to ownCloud folder in which file resides Deb Weigand  
  2. the above file table should now include the file type of matrix - and this will be an exception to the above -
    1. the path/url to genotype dataset (hapmap or flapjack) should not be clickable and should directly download the file.  Deb Weigand   
    2. this path/url, for genotype dataset will be used in other applications, such as Galaxy

Out of Scope

  • URLs will not be generated for any other web-based file browser either than ownCloud
  • URLs will only be provided in email notification
  • URLs will not be stored by server. If you lose/delete email, you will have to re-submit job
