TES-API server routes to allow CWL from Rabix-composer UI

[fmigneault]

Description

Rabix composer (http://rabix.io/) allows to build CWL workflows with a convivial UI and to test the job execution of such workflows. Furthermore, TES-API (Task Execution Schema) servers are supported to dispatch remote jobs.

To investigate

If weaver supports TES schemas, it could theoretically be possible to execute CWL workflow jobs from the composer's run command.

platform

We would need to allow adding a new "Platform" type "OGC", since only limited and fixed values are permitted currently (see image)
The OGC WPS-REST API standard could be provided as new feature to

• https://github.com/rabix/composer
• https://github.com/rabix/bunny (executor) not updated for future cwl

remote fetching

Possibility to import CWL definition if feature to fetch from URL is implemented:
rabix/composer#393
weaver processes could then be imported to build the workflow, and deploy them with the resulting code (from "Code" tab).

temporary testing

Re-configure the local files of composer to load remote weaver processes CWL as if they where local files.

Required endpoints for TES
