Hi,

We're working on configuring a CPAS instance for caBIG. We've followed the instructions for configuring LabKey/CPAS for caBIG here:

https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/Archive/2.3/page.view?name=cabig

We are working with the demo data and have confirmed that the "Demo" folder is visible via the Happy.jsp.

The area that is unclear from the documentation is that caBIG services typically register to caGrid so that they can be discovered by others and be listed in the portal. We are assuming that the caBIG extension to CPAS doesn't take care of this and instead will rely on the normal caGrid grid services. To that end, we have deployed the caGrid Globus services to the Tomcat instance being used by our LabKey system.

We also recognize that the caBIG extension for CPAS is built using the caCORE SDK. According to the caCORE tutorial, a caCORE data service is created and then deployed. We are assuming the CPAS caBIG extension is the "created" step and that all we need to do is a "deploy" step similar to the tutorial:

http://www.cagrid.org/wiki/CaGrid:Tutorials:1.2:DataService:caCORE_SDK_4:Deployment

Our questions seem to come down to:

1) are we on the right ?

2) if so, do you have any information on how the link between the CPAS data service and the Globus services should be made so our service can be advertised on caGrid?

Thanks,
