Release Date: 02.04.2024 B-Fabric 13 Release

Dataset Template Feature

Goal: Significantly improve the power and usability of datasets as input for applications. Applications can be associated with a dataset template which specifies how the input dataset must look like.
  • New Feature: New class DatasetTemplate defining attributes analogously to datasets.
  • New Feature: All screens are implemented to list, show, edit, delete dataset templates.
  • New Feature: All web Services implemented to read and write dataset templates.
  • Revised Feature: Extended dataset functionality to associate a dataset with a dataset template.
  • New Feature: Create a dataset template by deriving it from an existing dataset which is not associated with a template.
  • Revised Feature: Applications configured for the dataset pageflow can be restricted to datasets of a given dataset template.
  • New Feature: Added buttons "Create Dataset from existing workunit's data" and "Create Dataset from scratch" to the "Run Application" screen to create an input dataset directly and redirect to the edit workunit screen with this then preselected input dataset. If the application is associated with a dataset template, then this template will be enforced.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form by adding the column with the item reorder and remove buttons as first column of the items table whenever there are more than three attributes (such that the probability is high that these buttons will not be seen without tediously scrolling to the right-hand side of the table.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form for the "createFromScratch" case such that a default dataset column and an empty dataset items is always preset.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form presets the dataset name to current datetime to accelerate the process of dataset creation since often the dataset name does not really play an important role.
  • New Feature: Extended dataset save procedure removes all empty items and checks whether the dataset content remains non-empty. If not, a corresponding validation is thrown.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form shows validation error when dataset content is empty.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form such that all incompatible columns are removed and missing ones are extended when a template is selected.
  • New Feature: Extended edit dataset form by an attribute type autocompleter such that the user can quickly select the type instead using the failure-prone free-text field.
  • New Feature: Added button "Remove Empty Items" to remove all empty items with one-click.
  • New Feature: Type Validator added for Dataset Fields. Added button "Type Check" to the edit dataset screen to trigger explicitly a type check of all fields.
  • New Feature: Introduced new system property datasetTypeCheckEnabled to control the enforcement of the type checking of all dataset fields during the save operation. This property is set to false at the FGCZ instance since many of the dataset created so far are wrongly typed and thus would not be editable anymore if the type cannot be changed afterwards, e.g., because this would affect external applications. Important: All B-Fabric class names such as "Resource", "Workunit" or "Sample" are reserved type names and expect to have only integer values, i.e., the ids in order to link the dataset fields directly with the corresponding objects. for instance, if you want to refer to the (relative) path of a resource, then create a dataset attribute with the name "Resource Path" and the type "String".
  • New Feature: When datasetTypeCheckEnabled is true, then the isValid method of the dataset save service automatically do type checking of all fields of the corresponding dataset.
  • New Feature: Replaced 'AddItem' by new 'AddItems' button providing possibility to add more than one item at once.
  • New Feature: Added additional checks (empty attributes list/empty items list) for Dataset save services.
  • New Feature: Added new Dataset Web services to add a new attribute together with a default value for all existing dataset items.
  • New Feature: Added new Dataset Web services to remove an existing attribute from a dataset.
  • New Feature: Runnable Apps are now also listed as directly clickable buttons on the show screen if the number of runnable apps is less than the maxItemsOnShowDetails configuration parameter, which is currently set to 20. The same extension has been done also work the show workunit screen, where the apps runnable on the workunit are listed in case the total number is less than maxItemsOnShowDetails.

Workunit Unarchive Feature

Goal: Explicitly handle unarchive requests and track the status of the corresponding jobs. An external application which actually does the "unarchiving" should change the status of the corresponding job whenever the unarchiving job is done by setting the status of that job to done. This extension goes a significant step forward in managing the unarchive request process. Our staff can then just press on the "unarchive" button of the corresponding workunit instead of writing a ticket for that purpose. Then, all the goodies described below come into the game.
  • New Feature: Introduced new user roles "ArchiveManager" and ArchiveReader".
  • New Feature: Introduced new class Job (currently it is only used for unarchive jobs but it is in principle open to anything).
  • New Feature: "Unarchive" button is shown on the show screen when the corresponding workunit has the status "archived" (currently visible only for containerreaders, i.e., employees). All users with the role "ArchiveManager" will be notified about this unarchive request.
  • New Feature: Pressing on this button will create a job "unarchive" whose initial status is new.
  • New Feature: "Cancel Unarchive" button is shown on the show screen for the requester of an unarchive job when the corresponding job is still in the state new.
  • New Feature: All jobs with status "new" are shown as tasks for users having the role "archiveManager". Note that this role is currently granted only to user schmidt in the productive system.
  • New Feature: All users having this role will receive an email notification whenever a new "unarchive" job is created.
  • New Feature: All Web services to read/write jobs are implemented.
  • New Feature: When the status of an unarchive job is set to "done", the requester of the "unarchive" job will get a notification email that the unarchiving is done.
  • New Feature: The systemproperty "unarchiveEnabled" is introduced to dynamically switch-off/on the entire unarchive functionality.

Release Date: 30.11.2023

  • New Feature: Added RequestBooking functionality to orders. There is now the button "Request Booking" visible to the coach/coachbackup in the charges tab of the corresponding order (analogously to project charges). So, already in the early stages of an order, you can create charges and initiate their booking without the need to push the order artificially towards the state finished in order to launch the booking. The order coach (backup) can now use the "Request Booking" button just to trigger the administration to book the corresponding charges although the order is not finished yet.
  • New Feature: Introduced new order status "Reopened" and corresponding transitions between this state and the state "Closed". On a "reopened" order adding/updating/deleting data is then possible again. The "Reopen" button is visible only to the ServiceManagers and BookingsManagers. The user who has reopened an order will get the task to close the order again. This extension will provide the basis to handle the use cases where some additions/fixes are needed to be done after an order was closed. Now, there will be no need to involve our administration for that purpose unless new charges are created and must be booked. Note that such afterwards adding/fixing should stay the exceptional case. When needed, please approach your service manager in charge to reopen (and close again) the corresponding order.

This extension and revision became necessary since the class Sample and its association became so big that the general approach to return nearly all information of a sample has a significant drawback on the Web service performance. This extension and revision might be a breaking change since the new default will be that the associated entities are excluded from the return value. Note that this associated information can explicitly be included by using the parameters includeparents, includechildren, includeplates, includeruns, and includeresources. So, all Web service users, please make sure to adapt your scripts in case your external application accesses this associated sample information.
  • New Feature: Add new sample replacement and user decision functionality to explicitly manage the process of dealing with QC failed samples.
  • New Feature: Extended Sample class by userDecision status.

Dear colleagues, here come the hopefully last significant release of the current B-Fabric version 9 (for this year). Please note the following extensions and revisions: * The consumable entity has been extended by the following attributes to capture more details to be used for purchasing process: supplier, articleNumber, price, unit, description. A list of consumables provided by Jay has been created. You may also consult Jay when you want to know how the purchases should be handled in future. * There is a new association between purchases and consumables to capture the information which allows now to exactly state which consumable have been purchased for which price. * Moreover, batch editing purchase items is now supported. * The batch editing feature is now also supported for offered charges. * The "Header Menu" of B-Fabric has been revised. Most prominently, there is now an "admin" section on the upper right-hand side of the menu where you find all links that are directly to issue closely related to our secretariat: consumables, purchases, contracts, etc. * The instrument reservation has been extended, especially with the goal to deal with part-time bookings: ** An attribute userVisible is added to the Instrument entity to state whether the instrument should be visible in the reservation overview to a non-employee user. ** An attribute partTimeBookable is added to the Instrument entity to state whether the instrument can be booked in slots finer than a half-day or not. *: The edit-instrumentreservation form was extended by adding an explanation how to book an instrument in part-time fashion. Remember that some weeks ago it was already implemented that the instrument supervisor can associate non-employee users as bookers and thereby give these users the right to book the corresponding instrument. * Project order states have been extended by the states "Revised" and "RevisionAccepted". The "Revised" state is used to inform the customer that the order was revised and that the customer is required to accept the revision to further proceed with the order. By pressing on the "Revise Order" button, an employee puts the order into the "Revised" state and sends a notification email to customer with the request to check and accept the revisions. The customer will then see a new button "Accept Revision" to state that the revisions are accepted and thus the order is placed into the "Revision Accepted" state. Note that an order which is once a "Revised" state requires a "Revision Accepted" before the "Accept" button will appear. The entire workflow management has been adapted handle these two new states. * The "Genomics" order management has been revised and extended. The two new entities instrumentDataPackage and instrumentReadConfiguration replaces the entity FlowCellType in the project-order-form. All previous flowCellType and projectOrder data has been migrated to the corresponding new instrumentDataPackage and instrumentReadConfiguration entries. * Furthermore, the project-order-form for high-throughput sequencing has been extended the new entity sequencingApplicationIndexLength. As always, feedback is welcome. Best regards, Can

Dear colleagues, today we successfully released the new B-Fabric Version 9. Here are some issues you should note: - Clear your browser's cache first! Otherwise your browser will operate with the cached, old B-Fabric css which will mess up the layout and even can cause login problems. - As you all hopefully know already, the integration of the sample and extract concepts was the main conceptual change in the new system. All extracts were transformed and integrated into samples. With the unique sample concept, we hope that the complexity of the project orders have significantly reduced. - Samples can be derived from other sample (as it was the case of extracts in the previous system), i.e., samples can have parents/childs and thus form complex hierarchies. - The new edit batch form for samples does not only support the batch editing of the fixed, type-specific sample attributes but also the batch creation/editing of custom attributes. - The existing sample/extract types were revised according the wishes of the various FGCZ subgroups. So a number of attributes are not associated anymore with the different existing sample types, but the data of the old (legacy) attributes is still available for the already existing samples. - The sample type associated with a service type cannot be changed anymore when there already exists an order based on the service type. - The batch edit projectorderitem screen has been thoroughly revised. Please note that the maximum number of items per order is now increased to 2000 (but we generally would not advice to create such big orders). Although the save operation of this screen is now nearly ten time faster of the previous version, such big screens naturally require several tens of seconds even in optimized versions. - The new entity class Protocol allows to maintain information about (sample preparation) protocols which can be associated with the samples prepared according to the corresponding protocols. The detailed description of a protocol can be described in any external file format and uploaded as note of the protocol. - Another important change is that projects can now be assigned to companies. So there is no need anymore to artificially process the orders under projects assigned to the FGCZ. - Note the new attribute "chargeable" of instrument reservations is used to express whether this reservation must be charged or not. - When the project or order of an existing charge is changed, the modal-panel "Are you sure" pops-up to avoid an unintentional loss of dependent data. - On several occasions, such as the entering of affiliation information, advanced autocomplete components replaced the drop-down menus with the goal to efficiently handle the selection of items from larger sets. Besides the performance improvement, the autocompletecomponents allow to better search for the desired items in contrast to the drop-down menus that only support starts-with semantics. Probably you will need a while to effectively use the autocomplete. Hint: When the autocomplete component already contains a value, just mark the value entirely using control-A and delete it before you enter the new search term. - The FGCZ fund number cannot be used anymore in orders to avoid the misuse that causes some significant overhead not only for our secretaries. - The architecture of the entity logging was completely revised. The quality of the logging was improved while yielding significant performance boosts, especially when operating on orders with many items. - Of course, all Web services related to the changes mentioned above were accordingly extended and adapted. - In the recent weeks, we also cleaned up a large part of the mess users created with their affiliations in last ten years. Thanks to Roger, all affiliations related to ETH Zurich / UZH / USZ were identified, sorted, restructured, and merged as needed. With B-Fabric 9, at least the new duplicate detection and merging will be helpful to do this tedious but absolutely essential job a little more efficiently. - Related to the last issue, there is a new attribute, called extensible, for organization types to control which organization types are allowed to be extended by the users. So we disallow that creative users can create further organizations under the type "Universities in Zurich" and thereby benefit from "internal" prices. So enjoy the new B-Fabric and provide us with feedback when you observe something interesting. Many thanks in advance and best regards, Can

Dear B-Fabric User, we are happy to announce the new release of B-Fabric which comes with a number of significant changes and extensions (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). First of all, please note that we have integrated the concepts of samples and extracts. The new system knows only the notion of a sample. As before in the case of extracts, samples can also be derived from other samples, thus creating sample hierarchies. All your existing extracts were transformed and integrated into corresponding samples. Also note that the supported sample types were revised and the batch editing of samples improved. In particular, it is now possible to batch edit custom attributes of samples. Please clear your browser's cache and enjoy. As always, your feedback is welcome. Many thanks in advance and best regards, The FGCZ B-Fabric Team

Dear colleagues, please note the following new B-Fabric feature released last night (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes): * The "Project Order Result" feature was extended such that you can now choose during the creation of a project order result whether or not a notification email should be send to the customer. Note that by default the creation of a project order result is triggering a notification email only to the internals involved into that project order. The rationale behind this was to avoid sending out emails to the customer in case of preliminary or incomplete results, respectively. The customer gets anyhow informed with the project order finish email. With this new feature, you now can inform the customer immediately (before project order finish). Best regards Can

  • Revised Feature: Add parent sample/extracts columns to the extracts listings
  • Revised Feature: All charges now have a prepayment flag which is also exploited in the servicetypeprojectcharges cube
  • Revised Feature: Extended application concept by possibility to register enumeration values, from which a drop-down is created during workunit creation
  • Revised Feature: After add/edit-instrumentreservation the overview jumps to the start of the week of that event
Dear colleagues, please note the following revisions of the latest B-Fabric release (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes): * All charges now have a prepayment flag which should indicate that the given charge belongs to a prepaid booking. This issue is needed by all who are creating entire project orders solely for the purpose of handling prepayments. This prepayment flag allows to separate the prepayment charges from the actual one. Thereby, the statistics get freed from "doubled" charges, e.g. in the servicetypeprojectcharges cube (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/bfabric/common/manage-cube-servicetypes.html) * The application concept is extended by the possibility to register enumeration values for application parameters. An enumeration is used during workunit creation to provide a drop-down list from which the user can select the actual parameter value. Check http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/Executable for documentation of the respective executable registration. There you will find a new tag, called enumeration, which determines a value of an enumeration. * The extracts listings now include the parent sample/extracts columns, too. * After add/edit-instrumentreservation the overview jumps to the start of the week of that event. Best regards, Can

Dear colleagues, last night, we released a new B-Fabric version (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). Please take care of the following important note to avoid unnecessary work. IMPORTANT: Disabling a service area and/or service type consistently affects the entire services hierarchy, i.e., by disabling a service area all its dependent service types and services are disabled, too. Analogously, by disabling a service type all its dependent services are disabled, too. Therefore, do no play with the corresponding enabled checkbox on the productive system when you are not sure that you really want to disable the corresponding part of the services hierarchy. Otherwise, you have to recover manually by enabling again the corresponding service types and services on an individual basis. Best regards, Can

Dear FGCZ User, today we released a new version B-Fabric which comes with many revisions and extensions (see release notes at http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). Please clear your browser cache once before you log into B-Fabric! You will note that the menu items of the B-Fabric header have been reorganized. The "Import" and "Analyze" links, for instance, are now accessible only under the menu item "Workunits". A new "Basket" icon is now available to go to your resource basket. In the following, we briefly outline some major revisions and extensions you should definitively be aware of: - To reflect the new FGCZ project management policy, following changes have been implemented in the project life cycle: A new project state called "private" is introduced. A "finished" project is now passed over to "private" instead of "publish". Shortly, the policy behind this: The status "finished" remains to mean that the project is closed for data acquisition while analysis of the data is still possible. In the "private" state, however, adding or updating "research" data is not allowed while add and removing members are still possible to control the data access/sharing. Note that "private" is a potential end state since in future projects will not be forced anymore to be published! - The B-Fabric download manager has been revised and extended significantly. In particular, the download manager now also works correctly on the Microsoft platform. Besides, several useful options are available now, e.g., you can choose between a plain and hierarchical download structure. In the background, name conflict resolution is done automatically in case of equally named but different files. Furthermore, the download of selected resources is now possible via the resource basket. Additionally, with closing of the download panel automatically the file manager is opened such that you can immediately check the directory where the files were downloaded. - A new, very flexible concept of custom attributes has been introduced for sample and extracts. You can now add any attribute name/value pair to sample/extracts. This information is indexed and thus searchable. - The concept of an experiment definition is replaced by the more powerful concept of a dataset. In particular, the columns of the dataset are typed and a dataset can be bound to a workunit to group its resources and further describe them. Above that datasets can be created based on resources of any (also analysis) workunit. The creation of datasets is also possible based on selected resources from the resource basket. - A new initial edit-order screen has been introduced to help you to create the right type of order depending on the desired service area. As always, your feedback is welcome. Many thanks in advance and best regards, The FGCZ B-Fabric Team

Dear colleagues, B-Fabric Version 7 has been released today. As mentioned before, this new release is a massively revised and extended version. In numbers: more than 1200 svn code checkins and 3200 lines of database revision/extension commands have been applied. Despite all the testing efforts, the probability of having introduced some new bugs is given by nature. If you detect any bug, please report them asap. Please remember do to the following: - Check the contracts http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/bfabric/common/manage-contracts.html and revise and/or add the contracts you are responsible for. - Click on your user login on the right of the header and select "User Settings" to review your user settings which provide some new options w.r.t. to the download manager. - The application supervisors should check whether their applications, which should still run are actually running correctly and those applications which should not run are set to hidden. Please check the new application attribute sendMailNotification if you wish to automatically notify project members about new available workunits in their project. Finally, I would like to remind the people who could not delete events which are part of a repeating event. Please try to do it now again. If the event however lies to far in the past, please let us know which event should be deleted. Many thanks in advance and have fun with the new B-Fabric release, Can

Dear colleagues, today we released a new version of B-Fabric which comprises several bugfixes, revisions, and new features (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). In the following, I briefly point out a few issues that you should be aware of: - A project/service order is now editable by users having the role order manager (which currently all FGCZ employees have) until the order is canceled or closed. Among others, now it is possible to change for instance the billing and/or customer information afterwards as needed. - By the way, the billing address in the project/service order screens now includes the corresponding institute/division affiliation. - The save operation of all Web Services are now access-controlled such that now you can invoke the Web services (if needed) with your user credentials. Note that users with the feeder role are allowed perform any save operation provided by the current Web services interface. - Due to performance issues, the newly introduced (and computationally very consuming) storage/costs info have been removed from all project listing except the manage-project screen (under ADMIN > Project Data > Projects). - Several bugs were eliminated from the data table excel exporter. We wonder that nobody explicitly complained so far. Please let us know if you detect a data table where the excel exporter does not work (as expected). - Finally, we also fixed a very serious bug in all resources listings when using the INTERNET EXPLORER or the Chrome browser. Under these browsers, the resource listings were screwed up w.r.t.layout and the filter/sort column functionality was not working. Since this bug was in for a long time, we wonder whether nobody at FGCZ is using one of these browsers to access B-Fabric? Many thanks in advance and best regards, Can

Dear colleagues, today we released a new version of B-Fabric which comprises some bugfixes, revisions, and new features (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). In the following, I briefly point out a few issues that you should be aware of: - Please note that the applications that can run on a workunit are now listed using the applications tab of the show-workunit screen. By this way, the full filtering and sorting functionality can be exploited to choose the desired application from a larger list more easily. - Workunits can now be marked as deleted which means that the files (resources) are actually deleted on the storage but the meta information about the workunit and its resources are kept in B-Fabric, e.g. for documentation purposes. - The show-project screen now includes storage information: 1) Total size of all workunit resources of the project, 2) total size of all import resources that can be potentially imported within this project, and 3) total size of comments of this project.

Dear FGCZ User, today we released a new version of B-Fabric (http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/) which fixes some bugs and introduces some new features (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes), e.g. the new download manager for downloading entire workunits. Please clear your browser cache once before you log into B-Fabric. Best regards, Can Türker

Dear colleagues, today we released a new version of B-Fabric which comprises a larger number of bugfixes, revisions, and new features (see http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Release+Notes). In the following, I briefly point out a few issues that might be of interest to you: - Download manager for downloading resources and entire workunits. Note that the "previous" way of resource HTTP download (via the Web server) is still supported for those having problems to launch the download manager. Please be aware of the troubleshooter page http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=InstallationOfJ2SE. - Extension and revision of the project order module such that it is not restricted to sequencing services alone. Important: The different group representatives (Christian (Trachsel), Andrea, or Endre) gave me a list of services which are now preset for the usage in project orders. If you miss a service in the corresponding drop-down-menu, you need to activate it by editing the service and assigning it to an extract type. - Related to the last item, a new class ExtractType has been introduced with all corresponding screens (show, edit, manage, ...) to explicitly classify the extracts. Note that the extract type Proteomics and Metabolomics have been revised by adding required attributes. - New service cube (accessible via the Admin > Statistics menu) provide an overview over of the services hierarchy. - New statistics available under Admin > Statistics > Created Entites Per Year. - The show project screen has now a tab Log which lists all create, update, delete operations on entities bound to that project. - The coach assignment task computation has been revised such that this task is not restricted to pending projects alone. Hopefully this helps that some projects do not get "forgotten" because some employees were keen to review projects before a coach has been assigned. - Session-timeout management revealed a lot of challenges we have hopefully overcome with this new completely revised solution that should also work with several open tabs. - Instrument technology filter is now working again (as expected). If you detect any problems introduced by this new release, please let me know. Many thanks in advance and best regards, Can

Dear colleagues, yesterday we released a new version of B-Fabric which comprises a number of bugfixes and revisions. In the following, I briefly point out a few of the new and/or revised features that might be of interest to you (especially if are involved in the charging stuff): - The organization type information is now stored explicitly in the charges. Previously, the organization type information was derived from (billing) institute of the associated project offer/order. Now, it is possible to select the organization type at the time of charging. This will, for instance, disallow company users sneak into university projects and get reduced prices.

This allows changing the name of a service/service area/service type freely without affecting the previously created charges. - Merge functionality is now available also for service areas, service types, and services. Currently, only the admin has the role dataCleaner which allows to use this functionality. However, if you detect service areas, service types, and services that should be merged, please inform us. Of course, it might be an issue that we discuss who else want to take over the responsibility for doing the data merging? By the way, the column filters of the usual data tables are now working again as expected. They are based on "Start-With" semantics and additionally allow to filter with "Contains" semantics when the * symbol is used in front of the filter term. I am curious that nobody complained about the fact that the additional "contains" feature was not working since October last year. As always your feedback is welcome. Therefore, if you detect that something is not working anymore (as expected) quickly approach us. Thanks and best regards, Can

Dear FGCZ User, on Monday, February 25th 2013, the administration of the University of Zurich will exchange the lock of the FGCZ main entrance door. Thereafter, you can enter the FGCZ user lab only using an UZH card. If you still require access to the FGCZ user lab, please login to B-Fabric http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch asap and go to your user details screen (e.g. using the menu item on the right top where yo see your user name). Please check, update, and complete your user details as needed. If your user account is enabled, i.e., your email address is verified, you will see a "Request Access" button. Press this button to continue the access request procedure: - UZH members already having a UZH card just have to enter their UZH card number (6-digit number at the back of the UZH card) and visit the FGCZ secretary Jana Ploszaj personally with your UZH card to confirm their identity. - Non-UZH members must apply for a UZH guest card. For that, download the corresponding application form for visitors. The filled form together with a recent pass photo of yours and a copy of your identity card (e.g. passport or residence permit) must be handed over to the FGCZ secretary Jana Ploszaj personally. For more details of the access request process (if needed), please have a look at http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=RequestAccess. In any case, the "old" door key will become obsolete. Therefore, please bring them back to the administration of UZH (at Irchel) and get back your deposit. We hope for a smooth transition and thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dear colleagues, i would like to point out three recent extensions/adaptations implemented in B-Fabric that might be of interest for you: 1) Service orders can now be linked to running projects, too. Formerly, it was only possible to link service orders to pilot projects only. 2) To allow creating project charges based on offered prices, the following revisions have been undertaken: - The offered charges now include the prices of the services as they were at the time when the offer was created (and not just a reference to the service from where the price was computed). - An expired offer (i.e., an offer that is more than 90 days old) is now explicitly marked such that it should not be overseen anymore. - When creating a charge based on an offer, you can now select whether the charge should be computed on offered prices or on the current ones. 3) Considering the project order functionality, the following major extensions have been done: - You can now access all "Executed Project Order Workflows" and "Executed Project Order Workflow Steps" via the "Admin" menu. - More importantly, the executed workflows are now explicitly linked to the involved samples and extracts. You will notice the corresponding "Executed Workflows" link in the left menu when you go to the show screen of a sample or extract that was used in a project order workflow. - Workflows steps can now be added more conveniently via the corresponding show workflow screens. Best regards, Can

  • Release announcement email:
Dear colleagues, yesterday we released a new version of B-Fabric which comprises several revisions. In the following, I briefly point out a few of the new and/or revised features that might be of interest to you as user: - MailGroups introduced to group users to which you want to send emails via the send mail feature or within the agenda when informing about an absence. - Send bulk emails to users who submitted an order at least once. - Jump to date feature included into agenda navigation. - Agenda slots visible even if the logged-in user has no event in the selected time interval. - Made the resource DOWNLOAD button more prominent. - Email verification of users. To reduce the problem of wrong email addresses (which causes communication problems) every user will have to verify his/her email address. - Clone and move of complete sample/extract hierarchies across projects is now supported. Move is of course only possible when no sample/extract of that hierarchy is used in the current project. - Resource baskets were introduce to collect resources from everywhere to later run applications on that resources. - Workunit-specific queues introduced to allow employees to ad-hoc decide on which queue to run an application. - Application concept revised such that each application is now associated with a storage. A storage is a new concept which encapsulates the path prefix and protocol information. Since the storage are defined and managed by the admin (i.e., marco/aleks), we hopefully will avoid all the consistency problems caused by the application registrators by introducing several "synonym path prefixes". - Instruments introduced (will be later used for the instrument reservation and charging). Attached you will find a list from the redmine tool with all closed issues since the last release. Besides, a larger number of bugs were eliminated by the way without being explicitly documented. For more information about B-Fabric, please have a view on http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage. Your feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance and best regards, Can

Dear User of the Functional Genomics Center Zurich, this weekend we will release the new B-Fabric data and project management system which integrates and extends our current tools Project Request, B-Fabric, and Service. Hence, all the three mentioned tools will be not available on Sunday (April 3th, 2011). Please do not start any long-running applications via the current B-Fabric if the applications will not be finished before Sunday. We will have to cancel all running jobs before migrating the system. From Monday (April 4th, 2011) on you can use the new B-Fabric system with your FGCZ credentials (i.e., user login and password). The URL of the new B-Fabric will be the same as the old one: http://fgcz-bfabric.uzh.ch/ You will notice a number of changes and extensions in the functionality as well as layout. Note that this is not a Fools Day joke ! --- B-Fabric has now two modules: - All functionality regarding the application for and management of a User Lab project is grouped under the 'Project' module. This includes also User Lab services in Microarraying and Sequencing. Clicking on the 'Project' tab will redirect you to that module. - The submission and management of (fee-based) Protein Analysis orders is done with the 'Order' module. Formerly, this module was named 'Service'. The renaming from 'Service' to 'Order' is due to avoid confusion between (fee-based) Protein Analysis services and User Lab project services. --- Quick Hints for Project related issues: - To apply for a User Lab project, click on 'Request Project' (or the plus besides 'Projects') in the left navigation menu after Login. Completely fill out the form and click on 'Save' to submit your project application. - With the new B-Fabric the concept of a context project has been introduced. Upon Login, the most recently used project will be automatically selected as context project and shown on the left side of the blue pathline of the web page header. Before you create any project relevant data (i.e., samples, extracts, workunits, experiment definitions), please check whether the desired context project is set. If not, you can set it directly by entering the project id into the project input box that is marked with target symbol. You may also search for or list all projects and then select one project out of the listing. - After having set the context project, you can run applications by clicking on 'Import / Analyze Data' (or the plus besides 'Workunits') in the left navigation menu. - The three new 'Edit Sample/Extracts' forms (accessible via the lower items in the left navigation menu) allow to add and edit sample/extract data in tabular form. --- Quick Hints for Order related issues: - To place an order, click on 'Create Order' (or the plus besides 'Orders') in the navigation menu. Completely fill out the form (add your order items) and 'Submit' your order. --- Common Issues: - Your login information is placed beside the logout button at the right side of in the blue pathline. To change your contact data or password, or to request a key, go to the show user screen following the link 'User Details'. --- For a more details description of the new B-Fabric system, please check the B-Fabric documentation via the link 'User Manual' in the footer of the B-Fabric web page. The user manual will continuously be extended and revised as new questions arise and explanations are needed. We hope that you will benefit from the advantages of the new integrated B-Fabric which among others provides more transparency of your interaction with the FGCZ. Feedback is appreciated (please sent it to support@fgcz.uzh.ch). For project or order related questions, please use the comment feature of the corresponding project/order page to communicate directly with the FGCZ staff that is coaching your project/order. Many thanks in advanced and have fun with the new B-Fabric system. Can Türker and Ralph Schlapbach
