Hello! I'm proud to announce that in g-Eclipse project we are implementing handling of parametric jobs using JSDL-sweep extension. Now using our JSDL editor, user can: 1. Create basic JSDL (see 1.CreateJSDL.PNG, 2.CreateJSDLStagers.PNG) 2. Select elements, which will be parametrized using sweep extension (see 3.CreateParameterSrcURI.PNG, 4.NestedParameters.PNG) 3. As a result user has JSDL with sweep extension (see5.SweepSource.PNG) Then user can: 4. Submit such parametrized JSDL to any middleware (currently gLite and GRIA are supported). As a result individual JSDLs are generated by g-Eclipse and every JSDL is submitted to middleware (see 6.SubmittedJobs.PNG) In first version generation of JSDLs is done on client side, but if middleware support somehow parametric jobs, we want to send such parametric-JSDL directly to middleware. In last g-eclipse release we implemented sweep extension using http://schemas.ogf.org/JSDL/2007/01/JSDL-sweep what isn't the newest version of JSDL draft. There are still missing: - loops (user can only specify Values in functions) - error handling (e.g. nothing special happens when user not specify values for parameter) In next g-eclipse version we plan to add loops. What are your plans about sweep specification? When we can expect specification in stable version, which we could implement?
