===2. Operational Issues ===
===2. Operational Issues ===
==== 2.1 Update on security vulnerabilities ====
==== 2.1 Bug in CREAM resource information provider ====
 
Verbal update during the meeting.
 
==== 2.2 SAM 17.1 ====
 
The SAM Update 17.1 has been successfully tested in Staged Rollout and will be released during this week, for the NGI SAM administrators to deploy it. <br>
Staged rollout identified one issue that will be extensively reported in the release notes:
* NCG does not configure monitoring for services deployed in '''certified sites''' but with the service instance flag '''Production=no''' and the flag '''Monitored=yes'''.
** A first workaround has been producted by SAM team, it requires the replacement of a script provided by SAM team.
** This workaround has a side effect: after the patch NCG configures all the sites, including the non production, e.g. ''suspended'' sites. SAM Administrator, must remove the unwanted sites.
** SAM team will fix this issue in the next SAM update.
 
SAM Update 17 is important for the monitoring of EMI-2 WN.
 
==== 2.3 Version number of WMS released in UMD 1.8 ====


In the [http://repository.egi.eu/2012/07/23/release-umd-1-7-1/ UMD update 1.7.1] EGI released the '''EMI WMS 3.3.5-1'''.
The current UMD2 version of CREAM has a bug in the resource information provider: [https://ggus.eu/tech/ticket_show.php?ticket=84509 GGUS ticket].<br>
The problem is that the '''RunTimeEnvironment''' tags are converted to lowercase in the information system. GLUE1.3 specification is not case sensitive (while GLUE 2 is), but applications that use the RunTimeEnvironment tags for resource matchmaking may have case sensitive algorithms.
* The issue is already in the UMD2.1 release notes
* EMI rolled back to the previous version of the script, re-versioning it as "lcg-info-dynamic-software-1.0.7-2.emi". This version is available in the EMI repositories.
** This fix is '''only for GLUE1.3''' not GLUE2.0
* The fix will be pushed into UMD as soon as possible


The UMD versioning system supports a format like ''xx.yy.zz'', which cannot distinguish between the ''WMS 3.3.5'' (released in UMD as v3.3.5) and ''WMS 3.3.5-1'', therefore the EMI WMS 3.3.5-1 has been released in UMD as [http://repository.egi.eu/2012/07/23/wms-3-3-6/ WMS 3.3.6].
==== 2.2 Relevant sessions at the EGI Technical Forum ====


This is only an identifier for the entry in the software provisioning system, the RPMs maintained the EMI versioning.
* '''Tuesday 18th September'''
**Double session of presentations about new products and new features from the EGI's technology providers latest releases
*** Featured topics: DPM, dCache, STS, EMIR, storage federations, messaging services, CREAM HA
**WNoDeS demonstration and tutorial
* '''Wednesday 19th September'''
**EMI 2 tutorial for system administrators, extensive tutorial session featuring: '''YAIM, CREAM, DPM, BDII and WMS'''
* '''Thursday 20th September'''
**session on Job management services and batch systems
*** Featured topics: SLURM, GridWay and more
** EMI training for the management of security tools
*** Featured topics: STS, CANL, Hydra, Argus and gLExec


SA2 will discuss in September a solution to avoid these kind of mismatch between technology providers and UMD versions.
There are more relevant sessions for the operations, i.e.: OMB workshops, OTAG and the GGUS advisory board. A detailed mail with the relevant sessions of the technical forum will be circulated later today.

2. Operational Issues

2.1 Bug in CREAM resource information provider

The current UMD2 version of CREAM has a bug in the resource information provider: GGUS ticket.
The problem is that the RunTimeEnvironment tags are converted to lowercase in the information system. GLUE1.3 specification is not case sensitive (while GLUE 2 is), but applications that use the RunTimeEnvironment tags for resource matchmaking may have case sensitive algorithms.

  • The issue is already in the UMD2.1 release notes
  • EMI rolled back to the previous version of the script, re-versioning it as "lcg-info-dynamic-software-1.0.7-2.emi". This version is available in the EMI repositories.
    • This fix is only for GLUE1.3 not GLUE2.0
  • The fix will be pushed into UMD as soon as possible

2.2 Relevant sessions at the EGI Technical Forum

  • Tuesday 18th September
    • Double session of presentations about new products and new features from the EGI's technology providers latest releases
      • Featured topics: DPM, dCache, STS, EMIR, storage federations, messaging services, CREAM HA
    • WNoDeS demonstration and tutorial
  • Wednesday 19th September
    • EMI 2 tutorial for system administrators, extensive tutorial session featuring: YAIM, CREAM, DPM, BDII and WMS
  • Thursday 20th September
    • session on Job management services and batch systems
      • Featured topics: SLURM, GridWay and more
    • EMI training for the management of security tools
