gLite Data Management Single Catalog for Oracle

1. Release Description

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 Data Management Single Catalog for Oracle, please refer to the gLite Installation and User Guides.

2. Changes in this Release

This release contains the following changes:

From this release, the Fireman service runs by default as a secure web service on the https port 8443 and requires the installation of the gLite Security Utilities. In order to open the non-secure http port 8080, the following new parameter must be set to true in the configuration:

<allow.unsecure.port
      description="Enable using the unsecure port 8080. It can be true or false.
      Example: false"
      value="true"/>
All R-GMA service publishing instances in the configuration template now have default values except the new vo.name parameter that has to be set from ‘changeme’ to a valid VO name for each service instance (one instance per service type per VO)
