2.3. Issues and mitigation

Issue Description Mitigation Description
Concerning the task SA1.6: Helpdesk Infrastructure, a major problem has been occurred at both directions of the interface between GGUS and NGI_GRNET regional helpdesk system. The problem finally has been solved by changing the IP addresses of the machines which are permitted to be connected to the apache server of NGI_GRNET regional helpdesk.

·       NGI GRNET has performed a survey for gathering (a) user’s requirements regarding their needs from the next versions of middleware and (b) user’s satisfaction regarding the operation of the grid infrastructure and the support provided. The main requirements gathered are the following:<o:p></o:p>

-        Improvement of the execution time of jobs<o:p></o:p>

-        Improvement of WMS service, through better matching of jobs with computing elements or an option to exclude some requirements<o:p></o:p>

-        Support of previous versions of middleware (for example LCG-CE)<o:p></o:p>

-        Real-time inspection of job progress<o:p></o:p>

-        Compliance with Grid Standards, like WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework), and OGSA (Open Grid Service Architecture).<o:p></o:p>

-        Matlab support<o:p></o:p>

-        Provision of a web portal for job execution and data management<o:p></o:p>

·       NGI GRNET has installed at the following link http://ui01.kallisto.hellasgrid.gr:8080/ the WS-PGRADE portal (www.guse.hu) for HellasGrid users. The portal has been configured in order to support SEE virtual organization and now is at the phase of pilot operation in order to check its correct operation.<o:p></o:p>

·       Update of HellasGrid site with information regarding HellasGrid access procedure.<o:p></o:p>

·       Solution of problems concerning the interface between NGI GRNET regional helpdesk and GGUS.<o:p></o:p>
