  • Actions
  • Alastair

    • Client patch
      patch #1086 is now with John Walsh. The test tar file and instructions have been sent to John.
    • UI and WN for SL4
    • Server patch
    • GIN patch
      Tagged code - Antony will provide info on how to test then the patch can be created
    • Upgrade machines
      Memory for Parminder and 2 Keyboards needed - then done.
    • Define configuration for mon box and get it going
      Work has started
    • Cleanup ETICS stuff
    • Tag monitoring tools
    • Prepare configuration and building of new code before the code is finalised
      Will probably use 2 war files.
    • Find why Alessandra's mon box is unhappy - 15/1/2007
      CERN monb001 is also not happy. Threads and memory etc run out. Runs out of memory in about 90 minutes.
    • Code Registry - 27/4/2006
      Registry is just about there - but without replication of course. Uses a dummy schema. Using Martin's remote registry service which needed some changes. Not yet described in design. It must also be protected from bad ACL files. Will remove context in Registry and use ThreadLocal.

    Antony

    • Get UI info so that we can get back in the RTM
      Now waiting for wms #24148 - A new tag of wmproxy is going to be released in the next days. Meanwhile Antony is looking at the log file parser
    • Watch bug on job publishing tables with VO and predicate
      22869 - Antony will agitate. Another mail sent but no response.
    • #24643 Tomcat can fail in various ways detectable by parsing its log file
    • Find a way to look for GIN/ServiceStatus problems in R-GMA so that we are useful to the infor supermarket.
    • #22205 Upgrade to Glue schema 1.3
    • Write an R-GMA-probe or PrimaryProducer-probe https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GridMonitoringProbeStandard
    • #24641 LD_ASSUME_KERNEL no longer needed
    • #24007 org.glite.rgma.flexible-archiver contains deprecated calls
    • #24029 org.glite.rgma.servicetool contains deprecated calls
    • #22167 GLUE archiver has problems with stale lock files

    Kush

    • Fix bug in HEAD in ServletResponseWriter
      Source should include stack trace, truncated if necessary. Should be fixed today (26/3/07)
    • Code consumer and task q monitoring service details following recent e-mails and in line with WLCG monitoring requirements
      Need to consider whether to use key value pairs in the response or XML and look at the WLCG document. Need to also update the inspector to match
    • Add logging to consumer in "approved" style (still log4j)
      Waiting for Steve
    • Look at the spec and the way in which the VDB relates to authz. If it then seems sensible, move op authz a filter on the server - rather than the service
      This is not to be done yet

    Ming

    • Code Schema - 8/1/2007
      Schema coding work has started Will use a single DB e.g. RGMA_Schema specified in the config file. The VDB tables has the VDB name prepended. Class framework and constructors done. The replication is now being worked on. Working on MySQL class - it now supports transactions. Need to consider the performance of INNODB. Use synchronised methods to access DB. Later provide a different implementation with INNODB. Need to modify and clean up the remote schema API. Hope to finish replication this week.
    • Add logging to schema in "approved" style (still log4j) - 13/2/2007
    • #19645 The Sub exception org.edg.info.ReadTimedOutException is an inappropriate type

    Parminder

    • Convert tests to python,  introduce more automation and bring the document and the code in line with each other. This will all be done initially on the 1.5 branch. One subsystem to be completed first.
    • Rule of thumb for how many mon boxes a site should run
    • Ensure that the start call to Producer being added by Alastair is tested and the 2 new exceptions added by Ming are tested.
      Will be DONE once tested on HEAD.

    Paventhan

    • BDII with C++ with SAGA query style
      Written code to generate the AST. Now working on the BDII query string.   Can generate filter string for BDII queries

    Steve
