Hey Ross: Great work! Try the PackagedWorkflowRepository. The best documentation that exists of it is in OODT-70 [1].
I would use that to support the type of workflows that you’re doing. If this works we should make it the default since it’s supposed to be back compat with the XMLWorkflowRepositoryManager. Cheers, Chris P.S. see some of the ASO scripts I wrote to check on specific task/ PGE status, etc. [1]https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Chief Architect Instrument Software and Science Data Systems Section (398) NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 168-519, Mailstop: 168-527 Email: chris.a.mattm...@nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Associate Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -----Original Message----- From: Ross Laidlaw <rlaidlaw.o...@gmail.com> Reply-To: "dev@oodt.apache.org" <dev@oodt.apache.org> Date: Friday, May 8, 2015 at 8:14 AM To: "dev@oodt.apache.org" <dev@oodt.apache.org> Subject: Request for advice on workflows >Hi All, > >I'm working on an OODT setup (v0.8.1) with several workflow tasks defined >and working well individually.
