Moreno, Concerning the PGI Execution Service : Thank you very much for the 'Strawman_rendering' based on the 'Execution Service Strawman'. Management of multiple activities --------------------------------- I have found that the 'JSDL Parameter Sweep Job Extension' document has been submitted to OGF Editor for publication, is now ready to publish, and is available at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14595?nav=1 Please check that the PGI 'Execution Service Strawman' and the 'Strawman_rendering' documents are compatible with this JSDL document, and that there is NOT too much overlapping between the 2 ways (Operation and JSDL) to manage multiple activities. 'Strawman_rendering' document ----------------------------- Chapter 6.2.1 'CreateActivity' of 'ogsa-bes-v38.doc' available at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15062?nav=1 defines an 'UnsupportedFeatureFault' explicitly related to JSDL parsing. Therefore, for the 'CreateActivity' operation, I suggest to require the execution service to parse the job description. I consider 'purging' of activities as pure house cleaning of already terminated activities, to be performed AFTER any potential client request to terminate the activity (before its normal ending). So, I suggest to replace the boolean 'terminate' input parameter of the 'PurgeActivity' operation by a boolean 'purge' input parameter of the 'TerminateActivity' operation. More precisely : For the 'TerminateActivity' operation, I suggest to add : - a boolean 'purge' parameter specifying if the activity should be immediately purged after termination, - a 'Terminated but not purged' fault as possible return value. For the 'PurgeActivity' operation, I do suggest to suppress the boolean 'terminate' input parameter. Besides, I am sorry, but I will probably NOT be able to attend the next PGI job management teleconference.

Agenda:

1) Actual definition of the execution service interface according to the requirements discussed so far. As a skeleton to support discussion we have prepared this document:

http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15628?nav=1

In its current form, this is not a full specification document but rather a slightly more precise definition of the interface for the execution service. Moreover, at this time some operations are only listed but not defined.

If anybody has different proposals for the execution service interface, please upload them into gridforge, so we can add further agenda items for discussing them.

Moreno.
