LAST CALL: Revised File Staging Extension (ends 22nd May 2008)
by Steven Newhouse 15 May '08

15 May '08

All, During today's telecon we discussed the two comments raised during the public comment. These have been addressed by: * Activity Credential namespace in Credential element: Replaced with File Staging namespace. * Use of X.509 token type with protocols not supporting X.509 certificates: If a valid token is supplied that cannot be used with the requested (and valid) file staging protocol then a fault MUST be thrown. These comments are incorporated into the current draft: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.ogsa-hpcp… Please send any comments on these revisions by Thursday 22nd May (1700 PST) to the list. Thanks, Steven

File Staging Profile Specification
by Steven Newhouse 09 May '08

09 May '08

All, This completed public comment at the end of April. There are two comments: 1. Credential element example has the wrong namespace. The example has the activity credential namespace... I'd suggest putting the credential element into the File Staging namespace. 2. Support X509 credentials but do not mandate a protocol that uses it. True. I'd propose adding some text to say that GridFTP could be used... but we do not see this as a widely deployed protocol in the HPCBP world to make part of the mandated set. Perhaps adding a URI for GridFTP so that people could use it... are the other file transfer protocols that could go in here as well? I'd propose that we incorporate this feedback and resubmit for publishing it ASAP. Steven

LAST CALL: Advanced Filter Specification
by Steven Newhouse 09 May '08

09 May '08

All, Although we have not discussed this recently, this specification has been discussed on several calls, and at the last OGF, and seems relatively stable. I'd like to move it into public comment so it can gain broader review. A change tracked version is on GridForge. http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.ogsa-hpcp… I will place this with the editor at the end of Friday next week (16th May 2008) unless there are substantial objections. Steven
