The File Transfer Monitor

• A web page summary is created at hourly, daily and weekly intervals. This is performed by the glite-transfer-monitor-report package.
• Two summary files are created of recent transfers from the database. This is performed by the glite-transfer-monitor-gridview package.
• These summary files are published into gridview via the gridview packages. This is done by the gridview-wsclient-fts package.

Other packages are gridview-wsclient-common which are required by gridview-wsclient-fts and glite-transfer-schema which contains the schema additions for the FTS database.

The whole lot is configured by glite-yaim-fts and the ftm2 target.

Install Guide

1. Install Oracle Instant Client in such a way that it works E.g if you run # sqlplus -V it should work, you may need to echo "/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf && ldconfig. It all depends how you installed Oracle Instant Client.
2. Install FTM with GenericInstallGuide310.
3. You may see a dependency problem during the installation with perl-SOAP-Lite. The problem is that the gridview packages require a newer version of perl-SOAP-Lite than is available in the SL4. The newer version is available from Dag however. Of course if you are protecting your OS from Dag upgrades with yum protectbase you will have to install this package manually to override the operating system version.

     # wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-SOAP-Lite/perl-SOAP-Lite-0.69-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
     # yum localinstall perl-SOAP-Lite-0.69-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
    

4. Configure your site-info.def as below.

1. Configure FTM /opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s /root/siteinfo/site-info.def -n FTM2
2. Note that yaim will exit prematurely if some schema for the FTM is not loaded. It will exit with a message describing what schema should be loaded. When the schema is loaded an error may be seen Trigger created with compilation errors. This is understood Savannah #30372 and can be safely ignored.

Configuration With YAIM

This is the minimum set of YAIM configuration that works.

The current recommended production GRIDVIEW endpoint is (see GridviewInstConf):

• Production System: http://gvarch.cern.ch:8080/wsarch/services/WebArchiverAdv?wsdl

Results

• http://yourhost.example.org/transfer-monitor-report
• http://yourhost.example.org/transfer-monitor-gridview/gridview.dat
• http://yourhost.example.org/transfer-monitor-gridview/gridview-summary.dat

You need to wait long enough the various crons to run. After an hour there should be some results everywhere.
