  • Actions
  • 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. Still no definitive answer. Alastair will follow up
    • Building and testing new code
      Registry tests now pass - but need to make small changes to follow evolving spec. Adjusting unit tests for the registry to avoid dependency on schema.. No need to test the registry's non-forwarding functions Will then move onto consumer and schema. Will also need to modify configuration scripts.
    • 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

    • Check with Matt Hodges on what he is doing with Nagios and rgma-server-check
      No reply yet
    • Check code and design of task Q
      In progress. One algorithm is not quite right and error handling needs improving - most of design matches the code.
    • Give info to Stephen Burke for status/version etc - New
    • #24007 org.glite.rgma.flexible-archiver contains deprecated calls
    • #24029 org.glite.rgma.servicetool contains deprecated calls
    • #27808 GIN not handling GlueServiceAssociation properly
    • #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 consultation with users
    • 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
      In progress
    • Produce sequence diagrams for PP
      Declare table and done a bit of coding
    • Check the tuples store code for consistency with the design and spec
      TupleStoreManager should be a singleton and there are some discrepancies between design and code
    • Plan migration from physical DB names to logical - Transferred from Antony

    Ming

    • Write schema system tests
      Now installed on 3 machines - most basic operations work. Ming will concentrate on the tests on a single machine first so that other components can be tested. Some tests pass - but not all. There is some uncertainty in how "not null" columns were being handled and should be handled. Authorization rules - need some attention when they are not present. VDB Name - if not set change the servlet code to create a default VDBName - and raise a bug against the python API.
    • #19645 The Sub exception org.edg.info.ReadTimedOutException is an inappropriate type

    Parminder

    • Convert tests to python
      Almost done the non-parallel tests. Just checking that everything agrees with original bash scripts.
    • See if we can use SLC3 machines - then can phase out .sh files.

    Steve

    • Logging document with Ales
      Accepted by Ales - now with Romain. Still under discussion. Still there are problems - no clear progress. Now stalled.
    • Dependency challenge work
      Reports on R-GMA and SD sent. Report on DGAS received. More reports received
    • CHEP07 paper
    • Test that new streaming really works - given that we have no new producers
      It is here as a placeholder
    • Track patch #1093 for GIN
      Now in certification (3.0.3 RC1)
    • Track patch  #1212 Optimisations to the R-GMA registry as a fix for bug #27510
      3.0.2 PPS Update 37
    • Track patch  #1211 R-GMA CLI fix for Bug #27504 Removed getAllTable call from __init__
      3.0.2 PPS Update 37
    • Add to the spec that both client and mon box names should be a stringified numeric IP addresses
    • Understand ping
    • Decide on what to do with exceptions (2 or many and what about the types?). Try to make what is says in the spec consistent with reality
    • Check for consistency between design and code for consumer
