RE: [Condor-users] condor_q -xml bug?

["Sean Looper" <slooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alain,
Thanks for the quick reply.  I see what you're saying about separating
between multiple schedd results.  I'm not familiar enough with XML to
know, but is there a way to use some sort of remark/comment tags on
either sides of the non-XML information?.  Maybe that would allow an XML
parser to just ignore those areas.  As it stands, piping the XML output
directly into another application just doesn't seem doable. 

Thanks!

Sean

I'm the author of the code that did the XML code, so it's probably a
good 
idea for me to comment on this.

I think it's debatable if it's a bug or not. I'm open to suggestions on 
this point, but I don't think it is. I think of the output of condor_q
-xml 
as a body of text that happens to contain an XML document as a subset of

the text.

If you have more than one schedd in your pool, try "condor_q -global
-xml", 
and you'll see something like this:

-- Schedd: whoppers.cae.wisc.edu : <144.92.13.58:42979>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE classads SYSTEM "classads.dtd">
<classads>

<c>
[snip...]
-- Schedd: gamgee.cs.wisc.edu : <128.105.185.11:45134>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE classads SYSTEM "classads.dtd">
<classads>

<c>
[snip...]

So for each schedd we have a separate XML document. Is this optimal? 
Perhaps not, but I don't think it's a bug.

In the general case, we might have things like error messages intermixed

here too. We could define a larger XML document that encodes all of this

information. We decided to keep it simple though.
