APEL parsers v. 1.0.1

What's new:

• SGE parser corrected to read CPU usage from field 36 of the log file rather than the sum of fields 14 & 15.
• LSF parser changed to allow configuration of whether CPU time is scaled according to the HostFactor field in the log file. If not, the scaling should be set in the BDII/GIIS/GRIS. By default, the APEL parser won't use the hostFactor value.
• APEL parsers now depending on mysql-connector-java package instead of mm-mysql.
• APEL client user guide and APEL parser administrator guide updated with latest changes.

dCache, v. 1.9.12-10

What's new:

• We fixed several bugs in the pool, poolmanager, spacemanager and tansfermanager.

• The documentation was updated to better match the FHS compliant version of dCache (GGUS ticket 72686 reported this shortcoming).

Installation and configuration:

• Just do a yum update and restart dCache. Please see the release notes for incompatibilities with version of dCache before EMI (before 1.9.12-2)

Known issues:

• none
