Please include a new assay in the results.

If a new assay is to be introduced then the scientists will need to determine a number of aspects prior to making any change in the portal configuration or code, e.g. :

  1. What is the definitive name of the assay?
  2. Where in the assay level hierarchy of assays is this new assay to appear?
  3. Which assay group is the assay to belong to?
  4. How will the assay data be retrieved?
  5. Will the data associated with this assay be the same as other, existing assays, or will it differ in, for example, units, representations, processing requirements, individual data status, etc.?
    If the assay will be generating results in an identical manner to other assays then there won’t be a need for much additional code to be written.

Essential

  1. appCtx.config.assays.site.xml.
    See the extensibility instructions related to assay details.
  2. Create additional code reflecting the technique, e.g. SQL, WS, for reading in the new assay data and, if necessary, additional processing before passing such data over to the business-manager (via business-manager-api structures).

Optional

  1. Create new datarecord implementations if necessary.
    See the extensibility instructions related to defining site-specific data record structures derived from business-manager-api.
  2. If there is a significant change of processing required for this new assay then processing steps such as those demonstrated in the generic site-business may be required, e.g. as in 4 - Define Screening, QSAR, Experimental processing.

Warning

If a new assay is to be included then the simulation database needs to be purged of all existing simulation results because previously used assay identifiers which are persisted in the simulation results will (more than likely) no longer be valid.

The simulation’s failed to run - why?

There is a hidden option to right-click whilst over the job flag, i.e. Simulation job progress flag, after clicking (or re-clicking) the submit button. This will expand the diagnostics details at the base of the page, which can be removed either by repeating the right-click or by choosing a different simulation.
