[glue-wg] Software Packages in schema

[Ryan.Fraser at csiro.au]

Hi Laurence et al.

Sorry about the delay in correspondence. I've taking a look at the
current UCS and spec however I'm not sure that the spec includes some of
APAC's concerns/UCS's. We are very interested in getting Software
Executable information out of Glue/MDS such as that described in our
extensions to Glue Schema 1.3. We believe that to successfully launch
grid jobs, software info is required in addition to hardware.

>From first pass, it appears that Application Environment may satisfy
this, however with further reading I'm not sure. Can you confirm the
element will be able to hold details such as:
- software executable name
- whether the executable can be run in serial OR parallel (and if so
which parallel implementation?)
- VO restrictions on the executable if any

I noticed it can hold values for: Environment Setup, Module Name, path
to exe etc but if you could clarify whether the above will be possible,
it would be appreciated

Regards,

Hi Ryan,

As far as I am aware this use case has been taken into consideration. 
Please could you take a look at the use case and draft schema document 
to see if they meet your requirements.
