Description



glite-APEL

Introducing glite-APEL in SL5

This is the new version of the APEL publisher, which keeps all functionalities from previous patches. Changes included in this patch are architectural changes, namely:

  • ActiveMQ is used as the new transport mechanism
  • Dependency on R-GMA has been removed
  • New configuration file for ActiveMQ settings

Authentication in the new version is certificate based, and ACLs are built on DNs. In order to publish successfully, please ensure the host certificate DN of your glite-MON is correctly populated in GOCDB.

IMPORTANT: When migrating from a glite-MON (glite 3.1) to this new node, the database must be moved over to the new node following these steps after configuring APEL in the CE(s):

  1. Create a backup of the database in the glite-MON: [glite-mon#] mysqldump -u username -p > mon_backup.sql
  2. Insert the backup into the new glite-APEL node: [glite-apel#] mysql -u username -p < mon_backup.sql
This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
