Test Plan Scenario 26

This scenario tests the implementations of EMI-ES in the various middleware stacks. To this end clients of each of the middlewares are used to interact with service endpoints of each of the other middlewares. It is understood that a client of any middleware is capable of communicating with the same middleware's service implementations.

Test campaign March 2013

During the March of 2013, a final test campaign was conducted with a specific focus on the Java client library (HiLA). Generally, the test results were successful, but also revealed some flaws that were fixed on the way. Whereas activity creation, management, and information had been tested previously, we particularly focused the delegation service.

Tests

ID	Service involved	Description	Result
02	ActivityCreation, ActivityInfo	Verify that an activity with clientDataPush=true remains pending until notified to start. Import an additional file into the activity's StageInDirectory.	SUCCESS
03	ActivityManagement	After submission of an ADL that sets clientDataPush=true, start the job and run it successfully.	SUCCESS
01	Delegation, ActivityCreation	Create a delegation, add it's id to the ADL, submit the job. The delegation must be used during job execution, e.g. to transfer files. The ADL shown below guarantees this and involves two GridFTP servers.	SUCCESS

We used the following simple ADL to trigger the job and transfers.

Problems revealed

Detailed list

ActivityCreation port type

ActivityManagement port type

ActivityInfo port type

HiLA internally manages a reference to the ActivityInfo port type, but does not make use of it. All relevant information is retrieved from the ActivityManagement port type.

Delegation port type

HiLA uses only two of the methods to handle delegations. The termination time of the proxy is handled internally, but could be retrieved from the server as well. There's room for improvement.

ResourceInfo port type

This port type does not have a natural mapping in the HiLA API and was therefore not tested.

Issues

Deployed Middleware

The following endpoints have been used, before EMIR support was fully integrated. A testing campaign in March 2013 used the EMIR endpoint at http://emitbdsr1.cern.ch:9126/.

ARC

2 services are running at

• https://testbed-emi4.grid.upjs.sk:60000/arex
• https://testbed7.grid.upjs.sk:60000/arex

Services implement all PortTypes of EMI ES and authorize members of testers.eu-emi.eu dteam VOs.
