Diagnostics
This task is provided with the basic CBRAIN platform. It serves several
purposes:
- It can be used to verify the configuration of a Bourreau server, including
testing the full cycle of setting up a job, launching it, and post processing it;
- It can be used by system programmers to try (and validate) the special
form input fields helpers that CBRAIN provides for writing CbrainTasks;
- It can ask the Bourreau side to perform some connectivity tests with the Data Providers;
- It can be used by system programmers to trigger some task lifecycle events on the Portal side
during task creation and edit, in order to test the Rails tasks_controller.
Normally, in a production environment, this task is not to be made
available to normal users, but only to administrators.
