Resource State

Current status of the resource being used by a task instance.

The Controller uses the same process each time it launches a task on a resource and the resource goes through the same series of states:

1

INITIAL

The initial state. This is the default value at launch time.

2

REQUESTED

When the task requests the resources it needs, the Resource state becomes Requested.

3

ACQUIRED

When all of the requested resources are available and acquired by the server, the Resource state becomes Acquired.

4

RETURNED

When the task completes, the server returns the resources it was using, and the Resource state becomes Returned.
