Request for clarification: DataStaging element without Source and Target children
by Moreno Marzolla 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hello, I'm writing a JSDL->classad-based JDL converter, and I have a question related to the interpretation of the jsdl:DataStaging element. According to the definition, the jsdl:DataStaging element may have two child elements (both of which are optional) jsdl:Source and jsdl:Target. As I understand: - if only the jsdl:Source child is given, the DataStaging element refers to a request to copy files TO the execution node; - if only the jsdl:Target child is given, the DataStaging element refers to a request to copy files FROM the execution node, upon job termination; - if both jsdl:Source AND jsdl:Target children are given, then the previous two cases are combined (first the file is staged in, and upon job termination is staged out). Now, I do not fully understand the meaning of having a DataStaging element without jsdl:Source nor jsdl:Target. How should we interpret this situation? Thanks in advance, Moreno. -- Moreno Marzolla INFN Sezione di Padova, via Marzolo 8, 35100 PADOVA, Italy EMail: moreno.marzolla(a)pd.infn.it Phone: +39 049 8277047 WWW : http://www.pd.infn.it/~marzolla Fax : +39 049 8756233

OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor TC
by Hiro Kishimoto 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi all, OASIS OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor TC is developing XML schema for deployment related metadata of multiple software packages (they call solution). Their scope is widely overlapped with CDDLM, ACS, JSDL, and OGSA-EMS. In order to prevent from undesirable divergence, Keisuke Fukui (ACS-WG co-chair) and I have attended to SDD TC F2F meeting this week, introduced our CDDLM/ACS/JSDL specs and ask them to utilize these GGF specifications if appropriate. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18091/ggf-sdd-submission.… http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18167/GGF-spec-submission… The F2F meeting went very well and SDD TC agreed that although they chose IUDD V2 specification as their base specification, they will align and converge with ACS/JSDL/CDDLM specs in long team and also short term. It is very good news for both GGF and OASIS. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18210/SDDF2F.html http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18208/Strategy%20for%20De… http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18209/Deployment%20Descri… If time permits, I will report out and answer questions on this new thrilling opportunity at Thursday's OGSA-WG weekly call. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto
