[ogsa-bes-wg] Updates to document

[Andrew Grimshaw]

All,

I have done the updates to the document discussed in the last two phone
calls, and in the EMS meeting in Japan.

At a high level this includes modifications to adopt text/issues from the
ESI document and the HPC profile working document. Note that this is NOT a
final document.

 

These changes revolve around:

1: Changing CreateActivityFromJSDL to 

a)    take additional optional arguments, specifically notification
arguments and an "idempotent" argument lifted from ESI.

b)    An extension to JSDL suggested in ESI to support libraries

2: Adding a resource information model section. Originally to be from 4.1 of
the ESI document - but post discussion with Snelling, Stokes, et al a
modified 4.1.

3: State model. This is one of the biggest jobs. At GGF in Japan the HPC
profile group introduced a nice, simple, extensible state model that would
allow supporting a variety of state machines while still allowing basic
clients to understand what they were getting. After discussions with many
people I have decided to adopt that simpler state model. CLEARLY THIS WILL
NEED DISCUSSION BY INTERESTED PARTIES. I AM NOT TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE.
I have taken the text verbatim from the HPC profile paper. Note that I do
not yet have permission from their lawyers - so we may need to yank this and
retype the same info. I hope not.

4: Refer to managedjob "type" of EPR, just as we refer to "WS-Name" "type"
of EPR. 

 

I have not even tried to modify the WSDL and renderings. Once we decide on
the rest of the content we can do that. So don't read past page 20!

 

I am not sure of the status of the weekly call this week.  I will synch with
Darren and Steven and send mail tomorrow.

 

I'm also including some slides from the discussion of BES in the EMS
session.
