How to manage work packages
The Work Package Manager is a web UI for browsing, inspecting, and managing work packages submitted to the Hosting Capacity Service.
Work Package List
The main page shows all submitted work packages with their ID, name, author, creation date, status, and completion date. The list can be filtered by name, ID, or author using the search bar.
Status
A work package moves through several states during its lifecycle:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Pending | Waiting to be processed. |
| Running | Currently executing. |
| Succeeded | All SYF (Scenario/Year/Feeder) jobs completed successfully. |
| Failed | One or more SYF jobs encountered an error. |
| Timed Out | One or more SYF jobs did not complete within the allowed time (Queue issue, contact Zepben for more details). |
| Cancelled | Manually cancelled before completing. |
Hovering over a status badge shows a detailed breakdown of SYF job counts per state. This status updates in real time (every 5 seconds) as the work package progresses, no need to refresh the page.
Work Package Detail Page
Click View Info on any row to open the detail page. It has three panels:
- Description — a free-text description that can be edited via the Edit button.
- Config — a read-only JSON tree of the full configuration the work package was submitted with, including the
syfConfigblock (feeders, years, and scenarios). - Progress Details — SYF job statuses broken down by pipeline stage (Generation, Execution, Result Processing). Each stage row shows a count and can be expanded. The table below lists every individual Feeder/Scenario/Year combination and its current status.
Cancelling a Work Package
Click Cancel Work Package at the top of the Work Package Detail Page to stop any in-progress or pending SYF jobs. Jobs that have already completed are unaffected. Results from cancelled work packages will be incomplete and should not be used for analysis.
Cancellation is irreversible — a cancelled work package cannot be resumed. Submit a new work package to re-run it.
Deleting Work Packages
Select one or more work packages using the checkboxes, then click Delete at the bottom of the list. This removes the work package from the list but does not delete associated results from the system.
