EMI 1 & EMI 2 Updates status

Status - 01.06.2012

  • Backward incompatible:
    • ARC CE:
      • Compatibility of ARC WS endpoints with older ARC 11.05 clients that relied on incomplete GLUE2 to communicate to pre-production WS endpoints are broken due to the more compliant GLUE2 LDAP and XML rendering introduced in this release. Upgrade to new ARC 12.05 Clients is highly recommended.
      • No backward incompatibility is introduced w.r.t. the production gridftp interface.
    • ARC Clients:
      • Compute client library is completely rewritten, making client API backward incompatible. This requires re-writing all 3rd party tools based on the library. See Extended Release Notes for details.
      • Note that older ARC clients from ARC 11.05 are not forward compatible with newer ARC 12.05 WS endpoints that use more complete GLUE2 information schema, thus an upgrade to new clients is highly recommended.
    • ARC InfoSYS:
      • Note that the completed GLUE2 implementation breaks backwards compatibility with ARC 11.05 clients that relied on an incomplete implementation to interact with pre-production WS interfaces.
    • EMi-UI
      • dcap & srm-client:
        • The dCache client files of dCap and srmclient now all reside in FHS compliant locations. There is no migration script for switching form one version to another. An update deprecates the old tunnel packages and updates the old dCap package
      • WMS client:
        • removed option --default-jdl from the glite-wms-job-list-match command
        • removed the --output option from the glite-wms-job-output command

Status - 30.07.2012

  • to be released on 09.08.2012
    • EMI 1
      • BDII core v. 1.4.0 - affects all services
        • A new cron job is run every hour to execute the glue-validator script and validate the information published by the BDII against glue 1.3 and glue 2.0 schema.
        • IPv6 support included with the new yaim variable BDII_IPV6_SUPPORT, which is set to "no" by default. If set to "yes", it enables both IPv4 and IPv6 support.
        • Fixed GLUE 2 bugs in the service information provider affecting VOMS and MyProxy, and improved the README files.
        • glite-yaim-bdii cleaning removing old variables and functions. Fixed minor errors printed at configuration time (this affected only the top level BDII).
        • emi-resource-information-service metapackage now depends on glite-yaim-bdii and glue-validaror-cron.
        • Improved description and summary of glue-validator rpm.
        • Fixed the version of glue-validator distributed in EMI 1, which was broken.
      • CREAM v. 1.13.4
        • GGUS #82670, 95480 - CREAM doesn't transfert the output files remotely under well known conditions
      • WMS v. 3.3.5-2 - important issue in WMS ICE
    • EMI 2
      • BDII core v. 1.4.0 - affects all services
      • Trustmanager v. 3.1.4 - affects ARGUS, CREAM, L&B, StoRM, Pseudonymity, UI
        • Trustmanager fails to read private keys that have text before the private key data
        • KnownIssue:
          • Openssl 1.0 uses for encrypted private keys pkcs8 format. support for it is only present in bouncycastle 1.46 and above, but SL5 uses bouncycastle 1.45. Thus, generating an encrypted private key in SL6 machine and using it in SL5 may fail. This is not a real problem in normal use:
            • servers use unencrypted private keys
            • users use proxies, that have unencrypted private keys
            • not aware of any clients that use trustmanager and support encrypted private keys.

The logrotation mechanism is now uniform for all the WMS components and the locations for some log and pid files were reviewed, to be fully FHS. Code cleanup has been made both in the WMS interface (wmproxy), to accomodate for easier integration of Argus and the future caNl, and in the WMS engine, by virtue of the removal of DAGMan.

  • Content:
    • Major releases: 28
      • APEL parsers
      • APEL publisher
      • APEL SSM
        • Backward incompatibilities:
          • All the code has been rewritten (python), so all changes are 'backward incompatible', including a new database schema. However, no other product depends on the code
          • For the Parsers - Upgrade installation is possible if necessary.
          • For the Publisher - Upgrading from an existing installation is not sensible, since the packages, dependencies and database schema are all different.
        • Other Info:
          • Supported LRMS: LSF, PBS, GE; SLURM to come in the first update
          • Issue regarding empty accounting log files; pubblication of GlueCECapability (use float or integer)
      • ARC CE
        • Backward Compatibilities:
          • ngconfigtest is renamed to arc-config-check, installs to libexec instead of bin and is packaged with A-REX instead of common package.
          • Support for per-user control directories in A-REX is removed, as well as corresponding "control" option from arc.conf.
          • GridFactory back-end & RLS support are removed
          • EMI-ES rendering: one Endpoint per port-type including data capabilitiexrootd DMC is moved out of plugins-globus package and into a new package nordugrid-arc-plugins-xrootd

        • Other Info:
          • Support for EMI ES interface version 1.16 is implemented in A-REX service

          • CAR 1.2 accounting messages can be sent to an APEL destination
          • nordugridmap is updated to version 2.0
          • DTR is the default mechanism for A-REX data staging

      • L&B
        • Backward Incompatibilities:
          • DB schema change. Configuration scripts update the DB automatically, *manual update script provided. *
