And I would encourage BES to pick up this model as well. I was going to make this comment on the BES document, if it ever would show up in public comment. -- Chris On 20/4/06 08:15, "Andre Merzky" <andre@merzky.net> wrote:
Quoting [Ian Foster] (Apr 20 2006):
Chris: I don't understand why SAGA is proceeding with a job state modeling effort independent of BES. Can you explain? Ian.
Ah, but we don't :-) SAGA has a very simple state model (new, running, done, failed, unknown). However, the states have 'substates', which can be queried, and expose the complete BES state model.
The simple model above only exposes those states which can be changed with SAGA calls. As saga calls get added, e.g. for hold, more stated might get exposed on that level.
Please have a look at http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/saga-rg/2006/02/png00005.png I hope that state diagram makes that clearer. I am not sure if it is in sync with the current BES states.
Another post to exactly that topic is at http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/saga-rg/2006/02/msg00131.html
Cheers, Andre.

Hi all, Per Marvin's comments ... Here is a pointer to the proposal for modelling job states that I made to the SAGA group last February.
