Re: [ptp-dev] Question about performance tools framework in PTP
|
Greetings,
I believe multiple tabs/tools of the same name have internally different ids in case they are being used by different tools. I'm not sure of the best way to error-check or manage this case, off the top of my head, though. I could just start numbering multiple tabs of the same name, but that wouldn't tell which tool was using which...
You can get rid of the command box by adding the attribute
displayoptions="false"
to the toolpane tag. I should probably make that false by default.
Currently all file selection widgets are local only. If you could point me toward the API for selecting remote files used by the remote-enabled components of the PTP, though, I could see about adding remote support to the framework on that level.
I will have a look at the API tomorrow and try to find a good place for grabbing job status information. The specifics will probably depend on where your plugin touches the launch API already because there are probably a few different places to attach status listeners or grab the progress object.
Let me know if you run into anything you would like to see added to support your use-case, additional widget options, extension points, etc.
Regards,
Wyatt

I downloaded the latest code and now
I can see where I can enter the executable path in the application tab.
I can run my application and see the environment variables are being sent
across correctly.
I experimented a bit with your sample
XML file and can see how I can generate multiple sub-tabs in the performance
analysis tab. It looks like I can implement what I want with the panel
support you have now. Without fully implementing what I want to do, I can't
tell if there is something missing but I think this is close to what I
could use.
A couple things I noticed, that don't
block me from using this.
I was able to add the same tab twice
by specifying the XML file in my plugin.xml and then again by adding the
same XML file as a workflow XML file in the tool selection panel. I don't
know if it's worth the trouble, or even a good idea to prevent this.
Is there any way to specify that the
box at the top of the panel where command strings are shown as they are
built is hidden? I wouldn't be using it for my tools, and it might be a
minor distraction to users who wonder why there is this empty box at the
top of the pane. This isn't that big a deal either way.
Do the directory and file type
optvalues deal with remote filesystems or are they strictly local files
and directories? I'm currently thinking all I need is the text and toggle
types but might have a use for the directory type if it (and files) supported
remote files. Again, this is not something I really need, just something
to think about.
I still need to look at notifications
for job start and finish. You suggested that I register my code as a listener
on the IProgressMonitor in some way, but I'm not sure where I should be
looking. I originally was going to look at PTP job launch as one place
to put my hooks, but I need this to work for both parallel and serial applications,
so if you are thinking of a place where I can hook to get these notifications
and the information I need, that might be the better solution.
Thanks
Dave

Dave,
I just checked in a fix that should let you select a regular application
path for a parallel launch. There are still a couple minor bugs to
work out but this should be enough to let you continue working on your
tool integration.

Wyatt
