The Taverna team are pleased to announce the release of Taverna Server 2.3.
This release is a feature-complete version of the Taverna 2 Server that is provided as a basis for deployments of server-ized Taverna in a multi-user environment. This version of the Server is based on the Taverna 2.3 codebase. Detailed documentation for the Server is available on-line. In addition to its improved performance, this release supports a number of new key features: * Based on Taverna 2.3 * Multiple users, with strong separation between them. * Limited persistence over service restarts, depending on exact deployment. * Workflow run introspection capabilities; clients can ask the server what inputs they should supply and what outputs were provided. * Workflow run termination notifications through multiple mechanisms (RSS feed, email, SMS, twitter, etc. depending on deployment). * Security, both of access to the service and access by the workflow runs to other services. * Administrative REST interface including resource accounting * Streaming of large files both for download and upload. This is in addition to the features supported by the previous version of Taverna 2 Server: * Upload and Execution of arbitrary Taverna 2 workflows * Access to Workflow’s Interim Output Files; no need to wait for the workflow to finish if the results are available sooner * Safe File Management for handling results; workflows cannot interfere with each others files * Simple mechanism for Removal of Expired Workflows * Support for both RESTful and SOAP APIs, for easier tooling * JMX-based Management API There remain a number of known-missing features; notably these include access to: * Provenance Database * Workflow Execution Model A Ruby Gem for interfacing to the Server via its REST interface is available. A Virtual Machine and Demonstrator Interface will be released soon.
