Description
BOSS (Batch Object Submission System) has been developed to provide logging and
bookkeeping and real-time monitoring of jobs submitted to a local farm or a grid
system. The information is persistently stored in a relational database for further
processing. By means of user-supplied filters, BOSS extracts the specific job
information to be logged from the standard streams of the job itself and stores it in
the database in a structured form that allows easy and efficient access. BOSS has
been used since 2002 for CMS Monte Carlo productions and is being re-engeneered to
satisfy the needs of user analysis in highly distributed environment. The new
architecture has the concept of composite jobs and of job clusters (Tasks) and
benefits from a factorization of the monitoring system and the job archive.
