[Pgi-wg] Next job management teleconference Wednesday 13 May 2009 at 16h CEST

[Etienne URBAH]

Moreno,

Concerning the PGI Execution Service :

Thank you very much for the 'Strawman_rendering' based on the 'Execution 
Service Strawman'.


Management of multiple activities
---------------------------------
I have found that the 'JSDL Parameter Sweep Job Extension' document has 
been submitted to OGF Editor for publication, is now ready to publish, 
and is available at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14595?nav=1

Please check that the PGI 'Execution Service Strawman' and the 
'Strawman_rendering' documents are compatible with this JSDL document, 
and that there is NOT too much overlapping between the 2 ways (Operation 
and JSDL) to manage multiple activities.


'Strawman_rendering' document
-----------------------------
Chapter 6.2.1 'CreateActivity' of 'ogsa-bes-v38.doc' available at 
http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15062?nav=1 defines an 
'UnsupportedFeatureFault' explicitly related to JSDL parsing.

Therefore, for the 'CreateActivity' operation, I suggest to require the 
execution service to parse the job description.


I consider 'purging' of activities as pure house cleaning of already 
terminated activities, to be performed AFTER any potential client 
request to terminate the activity (before its normal ending).

So, I suggest to replace the boolean 'terminate' input parameter of the 
'PurgeActivity' operation by a boolean 'purge' input parameter of the 
'TerminateActivity' operation.  More precisely :

For the 'TerminateActivity' operation, I suggest to add :
-  a boolean 'purge' parameter specifying if the activity should be 
immediately purged after termination,
-  a 'Terminated but not purged' fault as possible return value.

For the 'PurgeActivity' operation, I do suggest to suppress the boolean 
'terminate' input parameter.


Besides, I am sorry, but I will probably NOT be able to attend the next 
PGI job management teleconference.

Best regards.
