If one end of the channel fails, error messages may be misleading. There was discussion on the result of init operation. The vote was taken to change operation completion of init to be analogous to modify and it was tabled. Voted to reconsider Tom's proposal after thinking about ramifications at the February meeting. Also, clarification is needed as to whether the single channel modify ONLY allows QOS to be modified.
Clarification is needed about the matching order of two endpoints of a channel.
If the same initialization operation establishes more than one channel between the same ranks of the communicator the matching order has to be defined. The issue of allowing channels from a rank to itself was discussed.
