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 FTS clients, the File Transfer Service instances must be published (in R-GMA or files) using the service type org.glite.FileTransfer 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.FileTransfer 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
#9943	FTS: clients report "Missing SD plugin" if any plugin fails
#9952	FTS: submit client should ask for MyProxy password twice
#9969	Java and Perl FTS APIs not installed in WN

 

 

 

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

 

Bug Number	Description
#8713	FTS: when FTS is misconfigured, the client gets obscure error messages
#8958	FTS: If a mapfile is not specified in the config, a client will receive an InternalException from the service
#9121	FTS client installation
#9821	FTS: Client code libraries should not expose FilePlacement or TransferFetcher interface
