  • Actions
  • Alastair

    • Client patch
      patch #1086 is now with John Walsh. Will probably be certified over the weekend.

      patch #1124 is now with John Walsh. Will probably be certified over the weekend.
    • GIN patch
      patch #1093
      In configuration
    • Evaluate impact of schema content updates upon the registry
    • Define configuration for mon box and get it going
      Work has started
    • Cleanup ETICS stuff
    • Tag monitoring tools
      Created configuration on HEAD but needs to be branched
    • 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
      New parser written.  WMS patch #24148 has gone into certification. The machine generating the XML needs bringing back to life. Schema has been updated.
    • 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
      Checked in another change - just needs ETICS configuration
    • Find a way to look for GIN/ServiceStatus problems in R-GMA so that we are useful to the info supermarket.
      Started thinking about it - this is related to service publishing
    • #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. Now decided that should not send the stack trace but just a simple message.
    • Do we need and can we pass the epoch time in each streamed block
    • Check what happens if streamed (or one-off) data are not as expected wrt schema of the consumer
    • 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. In progress.
    • Add logging to consumer in "approved" style (still log4j)

    Ming

    • #25502 Producers don't die
    • Code Schema
      Now working to use the TaskQ - minor change in the constructor 
      Need new flag to mark skeleton
      Add a getCreationTimestamp(tableName) for the schema (if required)
    • Add logging to schema in "approved" style (still log4j) 
    • #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.
      Have converted one test for API  Java Service Exceptions - but is still making some calls to bash. End of month to get first one done properly.
    • 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
      Can generate filter string for BDII queries. Getter methods added. The ListServices function needs completing - just the data selection to do. 
    • R-GMA plugin
    • gLite style C wrappers

    Steve

    • Assign people to address migration from 1.5 to HEAD of issues collected by Parminder
      Started
    • Improve release plan
    • Add new new calls to list available VDBs to spec and design
    • Add to the spec that both client and mon box names should be a stringified numeric IP addresses
    • Add to the spec that both client and mon box names should be a stringified numeric IP addresses
    • Update design for schema following e-mail
      May need to think again about the IndexToColumn table
    • Add consumer and task q monitoring service details to the design doc
