Uhm, I think you got us there. I don't see any way to specify the resource either, so its left completely up to the backend to schedule the job. I am not sure if that was intended. Chris, are we missing something? Did we intend to leave resource specification out? Can't really be, as we have it in run_job as Graeme points out... 'SAGA_HostList' is on the job, and read only - it gives information on where the job _is_ running, not where it _should_ run. Andre. Quoting [Graeme Pound] (Feb 20 2006):
Hi,
Can anybody clear up this issue for me? I may be missing something in the spec.
Thanks, Graeme
-3.31 How is the resource manager endpoint for JobService.submitJob() specified?
The endpoint is specified by an argument of JobService.runJob(), but is not _obvious_ for submitJob(). Is the endpoint a property of the instance of JobService (with runJob() a 'static' method of the class), or is the endpoint specified as an attribute of JobDefinition?
I assume that the contents of the JobDefinition attribute 'SAGA_HostList' is intended to be passed to the resource manager (rather than specify the resource manager itself); for example mapping to the 'CandidateHosts' element of a JSDL document. Is an additional attribute within JobDefinition required to specify the endpoint?
