• Actions

Alastair

• Client patch #1086
  On PPS - when this goes to production need to tell people to start using the new exception. May go to production today.
• Server patch #1124
  On PPS for a week
  
• Server patch #1144 (synch fixes)
  On PPS for a week
• GIN patch #1093
  In configuration. The EMT did not think this important enough to certify at the moment.
• Alastair should assist Dave K with the configuration
  Almost there
  
• Building and test new code
  Will probably use 2 war files. A bit more work need on the schema to make it all compile then Alastair will try again
• Provide service as singleton and access services as singletons
  Registry is now a singleton but still need to access the schema as a singleton
  
• Pursue weekly failures of RGMA17
  Tagged a fix made by Kush on the leaking file descriptors. Will deploy on RGMA17 to see what happens. Looks to be a problem with MySQL connectors, so we need to use pooling or auto-reconnect. In short term try auto-reconnect and then look into value of pooling. Noted that when it was misbehaving it has a knock-on effect on monb001 and lcgmon01
  
• Investigate the configuration parameters for MySQL and for Tomcat
  This follows observations made by John Walsh - NEW
• RGMA_HOME value is built into the RPM. Should move to CATALINA_OPTS - NEW

Kush

• Update the inspector to work with new and old consumers
  Parsers complete, just need to make it all work seamlessly - should be done by around 16 May
  
• Access schema and registry services as singletons - NEW
• Send DN and VOMS attributes in an open ended way to the prodcuer in the start call. The spec will need updating to match later

Ming

• Add logging to schema in "approved" style (still log4j)
  In progress - note that access and security loggers not used until we authz
• Provide service as singleton
  Should be done using the normal singleton pattern
• #19645 The Sub exception org.edg.info.ReadTimedOutException is an inappropriate type
  

Parminder

• Convert tests to python
  Copying and untarring working OK. Will now start passing commands
• Rule of thumb for how many mon boxes a site should run

Steve

• Agree on SAGA spec
  Andre is back - we now have a clear set of comments to address
  
• Logging document with Ales
  The document I am putting together is very simple. Note that the access category described in the design notes does not appear to be useful
• Check that design doc builds with chnages made by Kush - NEW
• Review REMIND bugs
• Add new new call to list available VDBs to spec
• Add to the spec that both client and mon box names should be a stringified numeric IP addresses
• Add a getTableTimestamp(vdb, tableName) for the schema in design and specification
• Bugs
• Registry synch
• Command line tool making expensive getAllTables requests
