gLite 3.1

glite-FTM - Update to version 3.1.3-0


Date 18.01.08
Priority Normal

Description


The FTS (gLite 3.0 only), FTA (gLite 3.0 only) and FTM service node types now include a utility sd2cache. This is a daily cron to maintain your /opt/glite/etc/services.xml file. Previously this was done with the make-service.sh script available from the TWiki. This is just a packaged and released version of that script. The cron is configured by the file /opt/glite/etc/glite-sd2cache-cron.conf which will be set up by yaim if using YAIM.

With this version of yaim glite-transfer-monitor-gridview will also be reconfigured (/opt/glite/etc/transfer-monitor-gridview.conf) to use a local services.xml rather than the BDII for service discovery. This implies that new (but already existing YAIM) variables are necessary for the FTM configuration namely: FTS_HOST and PX_HOST. For list of necesary FTM variables, see:

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/FTM_configuration_variables
