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.
