Puppet users - Apr 2013 - checking puppet run status of node A during puppet run of node B

I have some middleware where the successful configuration of node B is 
dependent on the successful configuration of node A.  Node B must pull 
additional information from node A during its configuration.  Is there any 
built in functionality in puppet for checking the completion status of 
other nodes?  Right now my intent is to write a custom function to query 
the puppetdb which is storing reports.  I want to make sure I am not 
missing some other elegant solution in puppet that already does this.

I don''t believe there is any existing Puppet functionality that does
this
though the Capabilities
armature<https://github.com/puppetlabs/armatures/blob/master/arm-6.capabilities/capabilities.md>
discusses
a potential future solution.

You might find
dalen/puppetdbquery<https://github.com/dalen/puppet-puppetdbquery>
useful
for your solution.

Look into exported resources to see if it can do what you need. Works a tad 
better then qeurying puppetdb or contacting B directly, much more scalable 
too :)
