5. Known bugs and issues

This release has the following known 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 .

 

• For service discovery to work for FPS clients, the File Placement Service instances must be published (in R-GMA or files) using the service type org.glite.FilePlacement and org.glite.ChannelManagement, instead of the types org.glite.data.FileTransfer org.glite.data.ChannelManagement mandated by the gLite service publishing conventions. This will be fixed in a future release. The provided configuration templates use org.glite.FilePlacement and org.glite.ChannelManagement for the moment
• 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.

 

Known open bugs:

 

Bug number	Description
#9993	FPS: listvomanagers only lists managers if you are a manager
#9591	FPS: the getVersion method doesn't return a version value
#9883	FPS: the interface has to be able to accept FTS jobs.
#10000	FTS/FPS: I don't like the name

 

 

Bugs fixed in this or previous releases but not yet tested:

 

Bug Number	Description
#6390	AXIS configuration in glite-data-transfer-fps is missing
