GT auditing and interface to accounting

The attachment is a design doc for a Globus Toolkit Audit System.  We describe
how auditing information will be produced by Globus Toolkit services and
integrated with local accounting systems for use by Grid Service Providers. Use
cases focus on the GRAM service, but the design is meant to be extensible for
any grid service.

The doc is also available from here:

Previous Word doc attachement was listed with the wrong type.

Referring to version 0.6 of the document:

1. In section 5.2, it would be useful to have an 
   operation like 

      GetAllGJIDs(all_users) 

   which

  1.1 returns the list of GJIDs for the user defined by 
      the Grid UID and, 

  1.2 if the optional all_users parameter is "true" 
      and if there is somehwere (e.g., in a DB role-table 
      or in the LRM configuration) a "manager" role defined 
      for the GridUID of the client, then it returns the GJIDs 
      of all the jobs from all users. (Perhaps a time-stamp 
      could be  a second parameter to restrict the time 
      interval of the selected GJIDs.)



2. In the figures in Sections 7.1 and 7.2:

  2.1 replace "RM adapter" with "LRM adapter";
  2.2 replace "Resource manager" with "Local Resource manager";
  2.3 replace "RM Accounting" with "LRM accounting" 


3. In Section 8, "Glossary", insert definition for AMIE
   (AMIE appears in the Figures in Section 7, but 
    it is not defined)


4. Using OGSA DAI for pre-WS GRAM has the advatange 
   of having one solution for both WS and pre-WS GRAM. 
   However, it has two disadvantages:

   (1) Requires installing a GT4 container along with 
       the pre-WS Gatekeeper/Job Manager;

   (2) Requires a client that "speaks" OGSA DAI. 

   Would it be possible to add the accounting/auditing 
   functionality to pre-WS GRAM as a lightweight 
   gatekeeper service (which, unlike the per-job job manager, 
   will be a per-gatekeeper service that queries the 
   Audit and Accounting tables)?

GT Audit and Interface to Accounting

I added more detailed examples of the query interface using OGSA-DAI.

GRAM2 and GRAM4 "auditing enabled" services are being packaged by TG's packing
team for CTSS V4.  We are supporting them as needed to make this a success.

Doing some bugzilla cleanup...  Resolving old GRAM3 and GRAM4 issues that are
no longer relevant since we've moved on to GRAM5.  Also, we're now tracking
issue in jira.  Any new issues should be added here:
