Next call April 8?
by Andreas Savva 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, We talked about having a call on April 1 but the date was not convenient to some of us. Would Wednesday, April 8, be ok? I think the next call will be mostly on Activity schema now that parameter sweep has been submitted for publication. Please let me know if you can attend. -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd

(param sweep) Teleconf action list progress
by geoff 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi all, I've made some changes locally from the 11th March teleconf action list but would like to run through progress - and apologies I didn't get it done before the weekend: ACTION 1) Geoff to modify one of the substring substitution examples so that the strings are not be the same length after substitution I propose to modify 3.1.5 Example 3 to : > Example 3 > The following example shows a valid use of multiple DocumentNodes matching disjoint [item]s in a single JSDL template element. A nested sweep modifies the output filenames so that the output of each individual sweep instance can be identified. > <jsdl:JobDefinition> > <jsdl:JobDescription> > <jsdl:Application> > <jsdl-posix:POSIXApplication> > <jsdl-posix:Executable> > /bin/some_exe > </jsdl-posix:Executable> > <jsdl-posix:Argument>-output</jsdl-posix:Argument> > <jsdl-posix:Argument>out.XX.YY.ZZ.dat</jsdl-posix:Argument> > </jsdl-posix:POSIXApplication> > </jsdl:Application> > </jsdl:JobDescription> > <sweep:Sweep> > <sweep:Assignment> > <sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweep:NamespaceBinding > ns="http://schemas.ggf.org/jsdl/2005/11/jsdl-posix" > prefix="jsdl-posix" /> > <sweep:Match> > substring(/*//jsdl-posix:Argument[2], 5, 2) > </sweep:Match> > </sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweepfunc:Values> > <sweepfunc:Value>1</sweepfunc:Value> > <sweepfunc:Value>02</sweepfunc:Value> > </sweepfunc:Values> > </sweep:Assignment> > <sweep:Sweep> > <sweep:Assignment> > <sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweep:NamespaceBinding > ns="http://schemas.ggf.org/jsdl/2005/11/jsdl-posix" > prefix="jsdl-posix" /> > <sweep:Match> > substring(/*//jsdl-posix:Argument[2], 8, 2) > </sweep:Match> > </sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweepfunc:Values> > <sweepfunc:Value>10</sweepfunc:Value> > <sweepfunc:Value>11</sweepfunc:Value> > </sweepfunc:Values> > </sweep:Assignment> > <sweep:Sweep> > <sweep:Assignment> > <sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweep:NamespaceBinding > ns="http://schemas.ggf.org/jsdl/2005/11/jsdl-posix" > prefix="jsdl-posix" /> > <sweep:Match> > substring-after(/*//jsdl-posix:Argument[2], 'Y.') > </sweep:Match> > </sweep:DocumentNode> > <sweepfunc:Values> > <sweepfunc:Value>a9.dat</sweepfunc:Value> > <sweepfunc:Value>a10.dat</sweepfunc:Value> > </sweepfunc:Values> > </sweep:Assignment> > </sweep:Sweep> > </sweep:Sweep> > </sweep:Sweep> > </jsdl:JobDefinition> > The above yields the following 8 jobs: > /bin/some_exe -output out.1.10.a9.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.1.10.a10.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.1.11.a9.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.1.11.a10.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.02.10.a9.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.02.10.a10.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.02.11.a9.dat > /bin/some_exe -output out.02.11.a10.dat Please note the inclusion of use of fn:substring-after() for an example use. Please also note that I have added a wiki page ( http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.jsdl-wg/wiki/ParameterSwe… ) giving examples of fn:substring(), fn:substring-before() and fn:substring-after() use. Please take a look at the examples, especially example 3 which highlights the potential for unexpected results. ACTION 2) Andreas will send Geoff sample replacement text. I've made changes to the XPath text as per Andreas's input. ACTION 3) Donal will review data type text and suggest a revision by the end of the week n/a ACTION 4): Geoff to modify schema URIs Done ACTION 5) Geoff to add OGF Copyright to the schemas. I had a look at the JSDL specification and they are not including the Copyright or Intellectual Property text in the schemas, only in the specification. Please confirm that we need to duplicate the copyright and IP in each of the schemas as they're already in the specification document in chapters 12 and 10 respectively. Thanks, gef

[Fwd: Thebes Code Update]
by Arnie Miles 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I just wanted to forward this posting to the Thebes mailing list to you, since some of you may find it relevant. You can reply to me if you'd like, or join the thebes-l(a)georgetown.edu mailing list and reply there. I'll sign up anyone interested. Arnie - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Thebes Code Update Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:02:00 -0400 From: Tim Bornholtz <tim(a)bornholtz.com> Reply-To: thebes-l(a)georgetown.edu To: thebes-l(a)georgetown.edu I've been working on the Thebes code that receives a request as JSDL and submits the job via DRMAA. I think that I've got all of the DRMAA API working except for submitting bulk jobs (massively serial jobs, for example multiple iterations of the same job with slightly modified input files. Like, 10000 instances of the same job, each with a different input file). I'm not quite sure what the best way to deal with the bulk jobs yet. Any input would be appreciated. I've been avoiding a lot of the security work but we're getting to a point where that's all that is left. From the SOAP service I can get at the headers and read the attributes but I'm not really sure what to do with them yet. So far the code is based on Apache Axis and Apache Rampart for the security. Rampart can use SAML assertions but they are SAML 1.0. There are some really nice and important things in SAML 2.0. Also, the SAML handling is rudimentary at best in Rampart. Shibboleth has a very mature attribute acceptance policy engine that would really provide a lot of benefits for Thebes. But we're back to the old question of how to properly integrate Thebes with Shibboleth. I'd also like to extend the Genesis II JSDL Tool to be able to directly submit a Thebes job. I've looked at the code of JSDL Tool but that's about it for now. As always, feedback / thoughts / criticism is welcome and appreciated.

note on XPath values in PS spec
by Meredith, DJ (David) 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi all, Regarding the definition of the DocumentNode's Match element value (i.e. the XPath value). Do you think the text in the spec should be updated to define something like: "The [item] can be exactly one [attribute] node, [text] node or [atomic value]. " I think we need to specify either an [attribute] node or [text] node because there are seven different [node] types and we should not be selecting [document nodes], [element nodes] (which can have children), [namespace nodes], [processing instruction nodes] and [comment nodes]. Best regards, Dave ---------------------------------------------- David Meredith STFC eScience Centre Daresbury Laboratory (A32) Warrington, Cheshire WA4 4AD email: david.meredith(a)stfc.ac.uk tel: +44 (0) 1925 603762
