==== Details ====

*Description: Meeting notes on Resource Accounting 
*Date: 24-May-2013 from 10:00 to 12:15
*Topics: Resource accounting model 
*Participants: Andrea Manzi (CERN), Ermanno Travaglino (ENG), Pasquale Pagano (CNR), Luigi Fortunati (CNR).

== Resource Accounting Model ==


* objective of the model : make possible for administrators at each level ( Infra/VO/VRE) to understand both the resources to  account to a particular user and the usage trends 

=== Job Execution  ===

we should include the requirements of other services running jobs on the infrastructure (Aquamaps/Statistical Manager) and in case adapt the model

instead of plan/ExecutionEngine we should put Job/task

we have to remove any reference to specific Services

to add jobId in the Execution Engine.( task)

move the n core, n cpu to Task level

we need to have a new record to be published by the portal in order to map the user with the reference to the operation/job he performed.

=== Service ===

the model is fine as it is now.

=== Data Access ===

we should include also SPD ( not only Tree Manager), but we should also think about  the Geonetwork access ( trough our Geonetwork libraries)

we should calculate the quantity of data accessed in terms of kb.

we should include the type of data accessed ( geo/biodiversity) 

we don't need a record for data transfer (it's a combination of data access and Storage records)

=== Storage ===

we should use the same model also for timeseries/services using DBs backend

we have to include also the UPDATE as type of operation

there is also the need to have a summary of the storage used for each user/service, to be filled service side periodically. a new record operation should be used for this (summary)

it should be generalized ( serviceclass/servicename => consumerId, targetFile=> targetResource)

== Actions ==

Ermanno to update the wiki based on the discussion

Andrea to contact CNR to understand possible new accounting requirements for Statistical Manager

Lino/Luigi to understand  possible new accounting requirements for SPD/Storage/timeseries 

Ermanno to check with Fabio the inpact of the model changes to tree manager

next phone call for Accounting portlet use case definition is scheduled for Tuesday 28th at 14:30
