Hi Florido, all,
If we look at the list of ServiceType_t in GFD.147, chapter B.31, you'll se that the third-level names there area all product names.
True. It appears we have a precedent...
So, if Stephen thinks that we should see dCache and DPM as a single Storage ServiceType_t, I can now say that I don't think we should.
If the capabilities are the same, then discovery should be done on capabilities and NOT ServiceType_t IMHO. But this I said in many other various emails.
I suspect using capabilities would be better indeed, but there exists plenty of legacy usage that selects on ServiceType. For example, an SE supporting the SRM protocol should publish a record with GlueServiceType=SRM, while _GlueSEImplementationName_ may be "DPM".
I think the real problem here is that I didn't figure out what this DPM thing is. Nobody sent a description. Nobody sent a link to relevant documentation. If you know about this, please help me understanding this better.
