  • Stuart's authz work
  • Actions
  • Alastair

    • Server patch #1124 
      Been on PPS for 2 weeks
    • Server patch #1144 (synch fixes) 
      Been on PPS for 2 weeks
    • Alastair should assist Dave K with the configuration
      Almost there. Problem with FC6 - ETICS people are looking into it. Dave has lost access to CVS
    • Building and testing new code
      Should be done soon.
    • 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. Now rolled back to older code.
    • Investigate the configuration parameters for MySQL and for Tomcat
      This follows observations made by John Walsh. 
      • Tried on RGMA17 but it does not work because the parameters are for the wrong JVM
    • RGMA_HOME value is built into the RPM. Should move to CATALINA_OPTS
    • GINpatch #1093
      In configuration. The EMT did not think this important enough to certify at the moment.

    Antony

    • Get UI info so that we can get back in the RTM
      New parser written.  Schema has been updated. WMS patch #24148 has gone into certification.  Need this patch and the dependent L&B patch. The WMS patch is however for 3.1 which is due for release shortly
    • Monitorig tools RPM
    • #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
    • Patch #1086  is in production so will need to tell people to start using the new exception soon

    Kush

    • #26344 getAllTables call in CLI puts an unnecessary load on the schema
    • #26345 Avoid cleaning up resources on every call
    • Update the inspector to work with new and old consumers
      Working with dummy for new services
    • 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.
      Need to find out how to extract the info from the VOMS extensions - should ask Stuart
    • Test that new streaming really works - given that we have no new producers

    Ming

    • Write schema tests
    • #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

    Paventhan

    • Resolve SAGA issues
    • gLite style C wrappers
      Need get functions and list associated services
    • R-GMA plugin
    • BDII with C++ with SAGA query style
      Just needs tidying

    Steve

    • Logging document with Ales
      Good agreement with Ales - but there may be some problems with the security demands.
    • Resolve design fixmes with Kush
    • New SD spec - New
    • Review REMIND bugs
    • Add new new call to list available VDBs to spec
