Re: [jsdl-wg] JSDL extension for SOA-type jobs

3 Dec 2008

      Hi Leonid,

There are no concrete plans at the moment to extend JSDL for SOA-type  
jobs, though we have talked in the past about adding more jsdl:Application  
types.
How fast (or if) something happens depends on how many people want to work  
on it. Is this something that you or your organization would be willing to  
work on?

Thank you for sending this query to the list.
Andreas

Hi All,
Are there any plans to extend JSDL to support SOA-type jobs? I know this
is not a part of the standard right now, and Microsoft added their own
extension in Windows HPC 2008. With this extension, JSDL file looks
something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<jsdl:JobDefinition
      xmlns:jsdl="http://schemas.ggf.org/jsdl/2005/11/jsdl"
      xmlns:soa="http://schemas.microsoft.com/HPCS2008/hpcbp/soa"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <jsdl:JobDescription>
      <jsdl:JobIdentification>
         <jsdl:JobName>SOA Echo</jsdl:JobName>
         <jsdl:JobProject>HPCBP Project</jsdl:JobProject>
      </jsdl:JobIdentification>
      <jsdl:Application>
         <soa:HPCS2008SOAJob ServiceName="CcpEchoSvc"
                          AllocationShrinkLoadRatioThreshold="75"
                          AllocationGrowLoadRatioThreshold="125"
                          ServiceStatUpdateInterval="30000"
                          ClientConnectionTimeout="30000"
                          ClientIdleTimeout="30000"
                          SessionIdleTimeout="1000">
            <soa:JobPriority>Normal</soa:JobPriority>
            <soa:Project>SOA Test Project</soa:Project>
            <soa:Runtime>100</soa:Runtime>
            <soa:ServiceJobName>SOA Test Job</soa:ServiceJobName>
            <soa:ShareSession>false</soa:ShareSession>
         </soa:HPCS2008SOAJob>  
      </jsdl:Application>
      <jsdl:Resources>
                    <!-- .... removed .... -->
      </jsdl:Resources>
   </jsdl:JobDescription>
</jsdl:JobDefinition>
So if there are plans to support something like this in JSDL/Basic
Profile, is there any guidance on when approximately it will be
available? I am researching cross-vendor API for various grid providers,
and the absence of SOA support is a big issue now. Any information on
this is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Leonid
