    Alastair

    • Ensure 3.1 is correctly specified
      Juha has changed configuration but it has raised a question about how to set CLASSPATH for servictool, gin etc which rely upon a symlink which is no longer being generated. Need either a symlink or some other solution. Also include new tomcat checking component. addressing bug 24643
    • 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. Registry should be done in a couple of days
    • #27538 wrong permissions on glue.config file ?  - Alastair
      One line fix - not checked in or tested yet
    • 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

    • #22167 GLUE archiver has problems with stale lock files
      Should check that the specified process exists.
    • Check with Matt Hodges on what he is doing with Nagios and rgma-server-check
    • #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
      Should address Paventhan's bug and add in the meta data columns at the same time. We must first be very clear about the types of the columns.
    • Add metadata columns to all  tables in consultarion with users
    • 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
    • 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. Need to look at the C++ header file on a WN to find out. In future each API component should deposit a file with the version number.

    Arun

    • Read spec, design and bits of code - with emphasis on primary producer

    Ming

    • Write schema system tests
      System tests checked in - but problems with building and deploying it. We don't have configuration scripts.
    • #19645 The Sub exception org.edg.info.ReadTimedOutException is an inappropriate type

    Parminder

    • Convert tests to python
      Almost done the non-parallel tests. 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

    • Track bug 27810 Some lfc-file-catalog service types do not have GlueServiceUniqueID attribute set
    • Track bug 22605 Glue Service Uniqueid issue
    • Track bug 28196 The service status attribute is missing (BDII) for ChannelAgent service type - New
    • Investigate SAGA plugin mechanism
      There is no documentation for the C++ mechanism
    • Find how we want to do it to support multiple plugins

    Steve

    • Logging document with Ales
      Accepted by Ales - now with Romain. Still under discussion
    • Dependency challenge work
    • Test that new streaming really works - given that we have no new producers
      It is here as a placeholder
    • Promote  patch #1093  for GIN
      It seems that it is being tested - but not apparent from the patch status
    • Promote patch  #1212 Optimisations to the R-GMA registry as a fix for bug #27510
      Being worked on by John
    • Promote patch  #1211 R-GMA CLI fix for Bug #27504 Removed getAllTable call from __init__
      Being worked on by John
    • Add to the spec that both client and mon box names should be a stringified numeric IP addresses
    • All schema operations that change state return time stamp rather than OK - the spec needs updating

  • Do we want xsd:dateTime or should we use xsd: long?
  • Do we want to tidy the exceptions handling?
  • Spec shows many exceptions code only has 2 - what to do?
  • PP spec - problems
  • PP design - problems
  • PP design - some diagrams - Arun
