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
