Hi Mariusz

Some questions pop up for me. (see also your mail to Ariel/the list
before).

Maybe I will try to clarify a bit.


How is this working? You mentioned in the mail before, the following
So, as I understand input files workflow is:
local machine -> CE -> WN

In fact it is:
local machine -> WMS -> CE -> WN

Here my question is: Do you not need a WMS? How does the Grid find out, which
CE to use?

So I see the process a little bit more complex:

1. User defines the JSDL on his local machine
2. User submits the JSDL

JDL, not JSDL

2.a JSDL is transferred to MWS

yes, in 3 steps:
1. Job is registered
2. files are transfered to WMS input sandbox
3. job is started

Local machine can be now switched off, as it does not partiicpate in the later processes.

2.b WMS selects a computing element (CE) to execute the job

3. The CE uploads the file

yes, but CE transfer files from WMS sandbox and not from submitting machine

4. The CE start the execution.

5. CE notifies the WMS/L&B about the completion of the job.

yes, and outputsandbox files are transferred to WMS

6. local machine can get the results from the WMS/L&B system




I hope now it solves all doubts.

Pawel
