    Alastair

    • Ensure 3.1 is correctly specified
      In progress - a list of changes is being sent
    • Building and testing new code
      All built and testing underway. Working on registry will then move onto consumer and schema. Will also need to modify configuration scripts
    • #27538 wrong permissions on glue.config file ?  - Alastair
    • Investigate the configuration parameters for MySQL and for Tomcat
      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

    Antony

    • #24643 Tomcat can fail in various ways detectable by parsing its log file
      Checked in another change - just needs ETICS configuration
    • #27537 rgma-glue-archiver fails to start 
      This is an existing problem. Should check that the specified process exists.
    • #27808 GIN not handling GlueServiceAssociation properly
    • Check code and design of task Q
    • 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
    • Plan migration from physical DB names to logical
    • 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
    • Get UI info so that we can get back in the RTM
      Now we must wait for 3.1 to be deployed

    Ming

    • Write schema system tests
      All tests written - on HEAD but not yet checked in. Now making it all work.
      #19645 The Sub exception org.edg.info.ReadTimedOutException is an inappropriate type

    Parminder

    • Convert tests to python
      One SFS test failing. 2 API tests commented out. Now ready to work service tests and on the parallel tests. Will start using the .py stuff for testing and see if there are problems. Cannot get rid of the .sh until we see that we can test on SLC3. It may be OK as new version of Python may only be needed on the submitting machine.
    • See if we can use SLC3 machines - then can phase out .sh files.

    Paventhan

    • R-GMA plugin
      Half done
    • Track bug 27810 Some lfc-file-catalog service types do not have GlueServiceUniqueID attribute set  - New
    • Track bug 22605 Glue Service Uniqueid issue - New
    • The service status attribute is missing (BDII) for ChannelAgent service type. This results in Status column with NULL value in RGMA GlueServiceStatus table. This is true for the ResourceBroker, srm, gridice, org.glite.wms, org.glite.ce, MyProxy etc. Continute discussion with Stephen B and raise a bug if necessary  - New
    • Investigate SAGA plugin mechanism
    • Find how we want to do it to support multiple plugins

    Steve

    • Logging document with Ales
      Accepted by Ales - now with Romain
    • Contact Stuart re write authz and delegation
    • Test that new streaming really works - given that we have no new producers
      It is here as a placeholder
    • Promote  patch #1093  for GIN
      In configuration. The EMT have now approved it - but has been delayed because of YAIM freeze. The freeze is now over.
    • Promote patch  #1212 Optimisations to the R-GMA registry as a fix for bug #27510
    • Promote patch  #1211 R-GMA CLI fix for Bug #27504 Removed getAllTable call from __init__
    • 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
    • All schema operations that change state return time stamp rather than OK - the spec needs updating
