[drmaa-wg] Definition of DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ALL

[Peter Troeger]

Hi,

I have a consistency question: DRMAA 1.0 defines the concrete 
placeholder strings for home directory, working directory and the 
parametric index in job template arguments: "$drmaa_hd_ph$", 
"$drmaa_wd_ph$" and "$drmaa_incr_ph$". On the other side, the values for 
DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ALL and DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ANY strings are not 
given by the spec, so they are free for the particular implementation. 
If this was an intended differentiation, I would like to know the reason.
Actually I can not see the reason for the concrete specification of some 
of the constant values. I think it would be more useful to let the 
library implementer choose all of them. One example is Condor, which has 
already has the definition of a constant string that represents the job 
index - "$(Process)".

Thank you and regards,

Peter.
