[ptp-dev] Clarification of remote system model in PTP

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rolf and I were discussing the generation of the LoadLeveler job 
submission file as part of our PTP LoadLeveler implementation. The file 
needs to be accessible by the node where our proxy runs, so that the proxy 
can read it and submit it to LoadLeveler. 

Is the intent of the remote system model in PTP such that the front end 
code will have full sequential read/write access thru RSE to the files 
residing on the node where the proxy is running? If so, then my 
understanding is that we would, by use of the appropriate Java classes, 
have the PTP front end retrieve the required LoadLeveler attributes and 
generate the LoadLeveler submission file directly. The run command created 
by the front end would specify the path of this file to thye proxy. If the 
front end doesn't have full read/write access, then we would have to pass 
the set of attributes to the proxy as parameters on the run command and 
have the proxy generate the LoadLeveler submission file.
