+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #693847 +++

Description of problem:

During the bug 692485 verification an issue either in qpid-tool or in JobServer's qmf schema was detected:
JobServer's qmf methods are not callable from qpid-tool.

GetJobSummaries state via qpid-tool:
qpid: call 11414 GetJobSummaries
qpid: OK (0) - {u'Jobs': [{u'ProcId': 0, u'CurrentTime': 1301909239, u'QDate':
1301908659, u'Cmd': '/tmp/.condor_run.28044', u'ClusterId': 2531, u'JobStatus':
2, u'Arguments': '""', u'EnteredCurrentStatus': 1301908670, u'GlobalJobId':
'mrg-qe-05.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com#2531.0#1301908659'}]}


Now I'm trying to call GetJobAd method in qpid-tool:

qpid: call 322 GetJobAd '2531.0'
qpid: Unknown Job Id (65536) - {}

qpid:
qpid: call 322 GetJobAd 2531.0
qpid: invalid conversion: Variant is not a string; use asString() if conversion
is required. (qpid/types/Variant.cpp:569) (7) - {}

qpid: call 322 GetJobAd "2531.0"
qpid: Unknown Job Id (65536) - {}
qpid: 
qpid: call 322 GetJobAd '2531.0'
qpid: Unknown Job Id (65536) - {}

Above tree GetJobAd calls from qpid-tool fail regardless of quoting...


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
condor-7.6.0-0.4.el5
condor-qmf-7.6.0-0.4.el5
qpid-qmf-0.10-2.el5
qpid-cpp-server-0.10-1.el5
qpid-qmf-devel-0.10-2.el5
qpid-tools-0.10-1.el5
qpid-cpp-client-0.10-1.el5
ruby-qpid-qmf-0.10-2.el5
qpid-cpp-client-devel-0.10-1.el5
python-qpid-0.10-1.el5
python-qpid-qmf-0.10-2.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see lines above or 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692485#c7
  
Actual results:
qpid-tool is not possible to use for GetJobAd call.

Expected results:
qpid-tool should allow GetJobAd call.

Additional info:

There seems to be no problem with qpid-tool itself as following calls invoking broker agent's method 'reroute' just work:
qpid: call 246 reroute 5 True "amq.topic"
qpid: OK (0) - {}

qpid: call 246 reroute 5 True 'amq.topic'
qpid: OK (0) - {}

qpid: call 246 reroute 5 True amq.topic
qpid: OK (0) - {}

Hello Pete,
could you possibly confirm that you see the JobServer's qmf schema is ok and qpid-tool should be able to invoke above method.

I think you mention it at the end of call... If I'm mistaken, then I'm goung to change component for messaging's qpid-tool.

Raising NEEDINFO for Pete.

Result of discussions is that this likely comes from a qpid-tool change that enabled sending structured arguments, e.g. maps.

qpid-tool has schema information and should either coerce the 2531.0 into a string, or not pass a string containing quotes (either "2531.0" or '2531.0') to the JobServer.

Changing the component to qpid-tool (management) including blocker as requested.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3190 to which two options for fixing have been linked.
