- 9674 - org.glite.service-discovery-rgma.java has description not set - Alastair
- 9699 - ArchiverThread doesn't check column types when inserting. - Steve H
gLite 1.5
- Definining the contents of 1.5. See document attached to the agenda.
  - List of properties - there have been no objections, so do we go with John's original list?
  - Any objections to the write-up of our insertList discussions (new BatchRGMAException)?
  - Registry's canForward parameter - can we drop it and go with the prefix idea?
  - List of error numbers - is everyone happy with the latest list? Should we stick with the five exception types plus this list? Can we now just arbitrarily assign numbers to these? - Note that I (Steve F) think that with the number of error codes being ~ number of exception types we have got it all wrong. Do we have time to do it right?
  - Version numbers - still don't know (a) what getVersion() returns and (b) what exactly adding Martin's two numbers for each API and the services means in terms of changes to the code. John suggests the answer to (a) is drop it (although perhaps we add two more properties to getProperty to return Martin's two numbers).
- Writing it
  - 23. Construct list of error numbers and implement the most important ones from the user point of view. The list may be incomplete. - 3 days for the full list and 3 days to implement the most significant ***
  - 22. Implement RGMASecurityException - 1 day ***
  - 50. An entry timing out of the registry should no longer generate a removeProducer - 1 day ** - Needs checking in
  - 29. Define and implement some of getProperty/setProperty - 1 day *
  The cut off date will be the 9th September at which point we will branch - why?
- Testing it
  - Service Test Group Need to identify most important bits - John
  - Function Test Group
  - Distributed Full System Test
  - Resilience Test - Rob has got something going
LCG2_7_0
- What changes do they need for YAIM for gLite 1.4
- Anything changes for 1.5 for YAIM relative to 1.4
