The Sandbox dashboard is a Web User Interface exposing the Sandbox information and functionalities.

  • ...
• Security Information
  • Get private key
• Network Information
  • Host Name

Application¶

The Application dashboard tab allows editing the Application Descriptor file as you would do it on a graphical XML editor (the editor features code completion).

The Save button will save the changes on the Application Descriptor file.

The *Reload" button will reload the Application Descriptor file e.g. if the Application Descriptor file has been edited in the Sandbox shell.

The Deploy Service packages the application to be deployed as a processing Service on the Web Portal (requires support from the Web Portal team).

The Start Workflow Sample triggers the execution of the workflow (it is equivalent to executing the ciop-simwf command from the Sandbox shell).
