Client controlled monitoring of a current status of a grid job passed to an external grid environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for enabling a client to monitor a current status of a grid job passed to an external grid environment, comprising:
- generating a job status query of a grid job passed to an external grid environment;
sending said job status query to said external grid environment via a communication portal into said external grid environment; and
responsive to receiving a current status for said grid job from said external grid environment, determining whether said current status meets an expected performance for said grid job, such that said grid client is enabled to monitor whether said external grid environment is executing said grid job within a constraint of said expected performance.

Abstract
A method, system, and program for client controlling monitoring of a current status of a grid job passed to an external grid environment are provided. A grid client generates a job status query for a grid job passed to an external grid environment. Next, the grid client sends the job status query to the external grid environment via a communication portal. The external grid environment initiates a grid job tracking agent for determining the grid job status within the external grid environment and providing a status response to the grid client. Responsive to receiving the current status from the grid job from the external grid environment, the grid client determines whether the current status meets the expected performance for the grid job, such that the grid client is enabled to monitor whether the external grid environment is actually executing the grid job within the constraints of the expected performance.
