Meeting minutes of the DRMAA Oct 31, 2006 con call: 

- Last meeting minutes accepted, including participant list 
- Hrabri will ask area directors for status of DRMAA submission (done) 
- IDL: Agreed that SPI concept will be removed from spec 
        - Particular implementation is language-dependent 
- IDL: Querying of exitStatus / termSignal when information is not  
available (ifExited / ifSignaled == false) 
        - Should lead to "IllegalStateException" in IDL spec 
        - Case not clearly described in C binding 
        - Existing C implementations seem to use  
DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ARGUMENT in this case 
        - Peter will create tracker item with deferred status for C spec,  
due to pending DRMAA submission 
-  IDL: Problem of reading / writing implementation-dependent job  
template attributes 
        - C-like solution needed for DRM-independent DRMAA applications with  
DRM-dependent code parts 
        - Agreement that get_attribute() and set_attribute() will be again  
part of JobTemplate interface 
        - Language bindings must always provide JobTemplate attributes, and  
may offer also get_attribute() / set_attribute() functions when needed 
- IDL tracker item 1729 
        - Relax demand so that basic IDL types are always pass-by-value, and  
'complex' types have a unified semantic, defined by the language binding 
        - Peter will answer the tracker 
- Hrabri will ask area directors for operational procedures regarding  
"IDL 1.1" submission 

Regards, 
Peter.
