Single Trusted Domain Deployment

Using the "free" services to process an image.
In order that you can evaluate GRIA and the ideas behind it quickly, IT Innovation has set up demonstration systems with the basic application services and service provider management packages installed. In this tutorial we will use the GRIA client software to access these services.

In order to demonstrate the Single Trusted Domain Deployment scenario, the basic application services package have been deployed and configured to run on the griademo1 system as 'free'. This means that GRIA's management infrastructure is not used because there is no requirement for users to pay for services, and so no need for usage monitoring, management and billing. To use these services follow these steps:
  1. Start the client, if it isn't already running.
  2. Add the 'free' basic application services to the client by dragging both of the following URLs from your browser into the top-left are in the client's window (the "Service View" area):
  3. You can now use the client to store data and run jobs. For example:
    1. Right-click on the JobService to open the menu and choose New Job.
    2. The client gets a list of available applications from the service. Choose swirl from the menu.
    3. A new swirl job appears under the job service, with one input and one output.
    4. Right-click on source-image and choose Upload data from the Data Functions sub-menu.
    5. Select an image on your computer to upload.
    6. After uploading the file, the input will still say "(empty)"; you need to choose Update EPR from the menu to get the new status "(full)".
    7. Right-click on the swirl job and choose Start Job and Monitor to start the job running. You don't need to enter any arguments; just click OK.
    8. You can watch the progress of the job using the Job Log tab.
    9. When the job finishes, you can select the swirled-image output and view the processed image in the Preview tab.

You can do much more than this with the client. Consult the Client User Guide for full details.
