[DRMAA-WG] Conference call - Jun 23th - 19:00 UTC

[Peter Tröger]

Here is the latest update status for the Wiki:

> As promised on the call, here's the summary of the monitoring  
> discussion.  Please add your comments and corrections.
>
> o The monitoring session is should provide parallel functionality to  
> the job session's job monitoring for monitoring all jobs in the  
> cluster.

sequence<Job>  MonitoringSession::getAllJobs(JobInfo filter);

> o The job monitoring capability for the monitoring session should  
> support a query filter

See above. Will be discussed on the call.

> o The job monitoring capability for the monitoring session will  
> return a set of job objects that contain a set of core information  
> and a dictionary of optional information that will be "standardized"  
> through the drmaa.org site.

This is modeled similar as in the JobTemplate struct:
struct JobInfo {
	...
	readonly attribute Dictionary drmsSpecific;
}
> o The job monitoring capability should be able to return jobs from  
> any/all users.
> o The DRM or DRMAA implementation is at liberty to restrict the set  
> of returned jobs based on site or system policies, such as security  
> settings.

The description of MonitoringSession was updated accordingly.

> o The job monitoring model will assume that the DRM system has three  
> job information states: running, buffered, purged.  Only information  
> for jobs that are still running or are still held in the buffer of  
> finished job information will be reported.  Jobs that have been  
> purged out to accounting will be ignored.
> o Exit status will be an optional component of the job object.  It  
> will only be available for jobs still held in the DRM system's buffer.

The description of JobInfo was updated accordingly.

Best,
Peter.
