The NBIA team is pleased to announce the release of version 6.4 of the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA). This release provides the following features and enhancements:

  • Integrated User Authorization Toolkit
  • Replacement of JBoss with Tomcat
  • Improved QC Workflow flags
  • Integrated REST API
  • Sorting for Download Manager
  • caGrid code cleanup
  • Java 8 update

Integrated User Authorization Toolkit

The CSM/UPT toolkit dependency has been removed from NBIA and has been replaced with an integrated user authorization tool.  This has the following benefits:

  • Greatly simplifies installation by no longer requiring the installation and configuration of UPT.
  • Allows access to user authorization directly from within the portal.
  • The tool uses the new paradigm of a REST API hooked into the front end allowing developers to build thier own interfaces with the API,
  • Uses Angular 2 for the front end for a modern look and feel.

 

Replacement of JBoss with Tomcat

NBIA is now run on the Tomcat server.  Changing to Tomcat allows for:

  • The removal of all licensing issues associated with JBoss
  • Simplified application deployment and administration
  • Deployment to the most widely used application servers
  • Complex JEE modules have been replaced with simplified code using Spring

Improved QC Workflow flags

New flags have been added to the QC Tool to improve workflow, this includes:

  • Configurable flag names
  • Released flag
  • Batch number which can be set via CTP
  • Confirmed as complete

Oviyam Viewer at the Series Level in QC tool

The release opens the Oviyam Viewer at the series level in the QC tool so that curators can concentrate on that series.  Performance of the viewer has been greatly enhanced by caching CSM calls.
