Etienne Urbah's position on 2010-04-21

• Propose requirement with title  'In order to prevent overloading the Execution Service (which has performance requirements for Activity Management), the Information functionality SHOULD be separated from the Execution Service'
• This means that a separate Information Service should answer to queries concerning ALL entities specified inside the GLUE model, and provide a robust and consistent Information functionality to grid clients
• This is a simple consequence of requirements NF13, IS5 and complex queries required by IS12 and IS13
• The Execution Service should then, for the GLUE entities which it manages, act as a provider of information to the Information Service, following specifications defined by the Information Service
• This does NOT forbid the Execution Service and/or the Logging and Bookkeeping Service to directly provide the functionality to return a (vector of) Activity Status when queried with a (vector of) not yet finished Activity IDs
• Therefore, I strongly vote FOR this requirement
