132) when do we refer to target host name, and when to resource manager contact, on job submit/description? Se mail thread with Graeme/Chris "JobService.submitJob() query" - OPEN, URGENT See also the comment from Graeme to the list today below:
Andre,
The client must be able to specify the resource manager to which jobs are submitted, as a service URL or machine name. This should be a argument for either the JobService constructor, or the JobService.createJob() & JobService.runJob() methods.
I guess that conceptually I prefer specifying the resource manager during the construction of the JobService object. However in an earlier mail Chris Smith indicated that the 'host' argument of the runJob() method was originally intended to indicate the machine upon which the job should be run (mapping to an element of the SAGA_HostList attribute). This is confusing and the 'host' argument should be removed, or redefined to indicate the resource manager.
Graeme
I propose to go with Grames proposal unless there are opinions to do differently. I like the version to redefine the host arg better than to remove it altogether. Other opinions? Thanks, Andre. -- "So much time, so little to do..." -- Garfield
