AssignedWork

@@ -21 +21 @@
 The [WorkGeneration '''create_work''' script and function]
 take an optional '''host_id''' argument.
-If -1 it means send the job to all hosts.
-If positive it means send the job to the host with that ID.
+If -1 it means assign the job to all hosts.
+If positive it means assign the job to the host with that ID.
 
 The names of workunits for assigned jobs must include '''asgw'''.
 
+== Management tools ==
+
+The following scripts (in ops/) manage assigned work:
+{{{
+show_assignments
+}}}
+print a list of assigned jobs.
+
+{{{
+remove_assignment wu_name
+}}}
+
+Removes an assignment (the WU and results records remain in the database).
+
+== Implementation ==
+
+Results for assigned workunits are created on demand (in the scheduler) rather than by the transitioner.
+
+Assignments are stored in an '''assignments''' table.
+Each record contains a host ID (or -1) and a WU ID.
