A few comments on the draft:
1. Rename the document to File Staging as opposed to Data Staging. We are explicit about files throughout the document and do not address tructured data.
2. FileSystemName – I’d vote for ignoring it if set without generating faults. If we are going to honour it then we have to support the JSDL FileSystem model which would add to the complexity IMHO.
If you choose not to support FileSystemName and it is present then generating a fault is the approach in line with the JSDL specification: "All elements present in a JSDL document MUST be satisfied ..."
3. FileName – this is the local relative filename or directory for recursive copying. I think this should be relative to the users HOME directory (or equivalent) or the WorkingDirectory element of HPCA if specified. Not sure if that is mentioned anywhere.
Since you don't plan to support filesystems this should be relative to the working directory. This is mentioned in the JSDL spec. -- Andreas Savva
