Dear all, I have just uploaded the first iteration of BES Provider [1] (yet an other extension to the GFacProvider) in the form of patches. Just for the sake of information, this provider acts as a client to the OGSA-BES [2] compliant web services including the support for JSDL (Job Submission and Description Language) [3]. Currently the BESProvider implementation is dependent on Unicore-BES [4] client libraries. Thus it can easily communicate to the Unicore (generally to any OGSA-BES compliant) endpoints.
At the moment the provider's test case demonstrates the submission of simple "/bin/cat" job with data stagings (only supporting GridFTP), and while the job is commencing the submission phase the GFac's JobExecutionContext is transformed into the JSDL instance (using JSDLGenerator) so that it can be consumable to the remote BES endpoint. As I have mentioned it is a very first iteration, therefore needs more effort to bring this into production version. Thanks to Airavata team (Raminder, Lahiru, Suresh) for their time and support to make this possible.
