Hi John
We haven't built an MPI-layer interface yet to the registry functions.
For now, the only means of accessing them is directly through the
OpenRTE interface via the option 3 method I described.
At some point in the future, it is my understanding that the MPI-layer
interface to the registry will be added. I'm not sure what form that
will take - still TBD.
For now, if you want to store/retrieve info from the registry and/or use
the event notification system, you'll have to do it directly through the
OpenRTE interface.
Does that help?

Ralph,
Thanks for the explanation and the pointers.
One further point of clarification (is this right?):
MPI provides a "registry" function using publish/lookup. What OpemRTE
adds is an event mechanism so that an application does not have to
poll for changes to information in the registry, plus it exposes this
to non-MPI applications.
thanks,
