The ApplicationEnvironment is a GLUE2 class that describes the software environment in which a job will run.

  • Each Application is identified by a name.
  • The AppVersion is voluntary
  • These names are not defined by the schema, but should be assigned in a way that allows applications to be uniquely identified.


Discussion Points Q1. Should we use the AppVersion to indicate what version the software is installed?

  • Pros (positives)
    • Makes it clear which version of the software is installed.
    • Could be generated dynamically (requires changes to GIP plugin, and assumes the value can be calulated on that resource BDII)
  • Cons (negatives)
    • If there are different versions of the software installed, they cannot all use the same name, so version data has to be incorporated into the AppName anyhow.


Q2. If we add version information data to the AppName, what convention shall we use? Is the format AppName_MajorVersion and AppName_MajorVersion_MinorVersion enough?

Q3. Do we want to use the OtherInfo attribute? If so, what are the use cases?


The ApplicationEnvironment is defined as follows:
