I've made a small change on my dev for the reservesys task to task a param for the inventory server so it's not harcoded. Need to change the server code so it can automatically populate this param in the XML.
IMO this looks more like a job property, not a task's param - i.e. "this job runs on such-and-such scheduler", and not "this task should know the scheduler is so-and-so" ? BTW, is this assigned to test-harness (and thus me) correctly?
Well if I set it as a task param I know that it is easily accessible by the task (which is exactly what I need). Perhaps it was short sighted, but I've got no idea how to get it in any other way. I guess the correct place to have it is as a Job level entry, but I have no idea to do this. I didn't mean to assign this to you actually. I think you have more important things to do.
I suggest implementing this as a global param for the job element: see Bug 658455. On harness side that would be a really simple change.
Could we just dupe this to bug 646773?
Yes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 646773 ***
