gLite Computing Element

1. Release Description

This release contains the gLite Computing Element module v. 1.2.3. The following sections provide additional information about the release content, the module dependencies, the know bugs and issues and a list of bugs closed since the previous release. For information about installing and using the gLite Computing Element, please refer to the gLite Installation and User Guides.

2. Changes in this Release

This release includes the following changes:

Added auto-creation of mkgridmap.conf if install.mkgridmap.cron param is true (by default the CE doesn’t use user DN mappings, but only VO membership information, so normally this functionality is disabled)
Added stop of Condor services. Condor services are started by the gatekeeper when needed. However, there was no way of stopping them using the standard module stop commands
- glite-ce-config.py --stop
- /etc/init.d/gLite stop
Moved GRAM job state directory to $GLITE_LOCATION_VAR/gram_job_state (it was $GLITE_LOCATION_TPM/gram_job_state and this may be deleted by tmpwatch)
Updated GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment to GLITE_1_1 in the CE information published to WMS and R-GMA
All parameters in the service instances to be published to R-GMA in the configuration file now have default values. There is no need to modify anything, unless a different naming convention for services or different publishing rates need to be set
Bug fixes

5. Known bugs and issues

This release has the following bugs and issues. Bug numbers refer to the gLite Bug Tracking system database hosted on the CERN Savannah system at https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?group=jra1mdw .

During the execution of the CE configuration script, a number of Globus configuration scripts are executed. One of these scripts outputs the following error (BUG #5992):

[…]

running /opt/globus/setup/globus/setup-globus-gram-reporter-fork..[ Changing to /opt/globus/setup/globus ]
Setting up fork gram reporter in MDS
-----------------------------------------
Error fork GRAM reporter entry jobmanager-fork. Aborting!
ERROR: Command failed

[…]

This error doesn’t affect the correct functionality of the CE and can be ignored.
The CE Monitor doesn’t correctly publish Condor queues. This will be fixed in a future release
This release include a tech preview of the GT4 Workspace Service that can be used as an alternative to the pool accounts method for creating and configuring the user execution space. This preview can be activated by using the alternative configuration script glite-ce-wss-config-py. This script requires Apache Ant v. 1.6.1 or greater to be installed and properly configured on the server. Please refer to the Apache Ant user manual for the details
No removal procedure is provided with this release apart from the removal of the RPMS. Any account, group or other resource created during the module configuration must be manually cleaned up.
