Introduction

The Sun Grid Enabler is a tool that will help you enable your application to run on the Sun Grid. The tool generates
necessary scripts and even generates a zip file that can be directly uploaded to the Sun Grid. The Script Writer is a Java based
Swing utility with a Graphical User interface to ease the selection of various options available for the Sun Grid.

Technology:
The tool is developed using JDK 1.6 as a netbeans plugin so that the entire task of making an application run on the grid can be
done from within Netbeans.

Usage:
The user is expected to have the application compiled on Solaris10 x86. There are 4 tabbed panes
1. Application Resource
2. Data Resource
3. Script Generator
4. Job Run

The first two tabs can be used to design your application and data resource by moving selected files or folders from your file system
to an empty directory. New folders can be created too in the place where you are designing your resource.
The third tab is the script generator tab. You can add commands by browsing your application resource and give any options if any.
Also, if your application is MPI based, MPI related options are added automatically.

After generating the script, the user will be able to make a zip of the application directory that will also contain the generated script file.
The data resource also can also be zipped which will contain the input file.

The resources are automatically populated in the Job Run tab where the user can specipy an output file where the output of the job
will be placed. After providing the user id and password of network.com the user will be able to run his job on the grid!!
