| * Cleaned old roles - June 2011 https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=931
| | This page has moved to [[GOCDB/Roadmap]] |
| * Added a URL field to service endpoint objects to support UNICORE services - May 2011 https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=975 (note, even though a single URL field is displayed per Endpoint, a new Gocdb_Endpoint_Location entity was created in order to link multiple service endpoint locations per SE if this becomes a future requirement - see [[Media:GocdbGlue2UnicoreV2.pdf]]).
| |
| * Add a "my site" link in the main menu - May 2011 https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=1091 (note, this uses the new controller-per page with templates design as summarized below).

| These are the developments we are currently working on. They come from the agreed development list, as defined by the Operational Tools Advisory Group (OTAG) who filters and prioritizes user requests. As of July 2011, development plans are focused on supporting a regional synchronizing GOCDB instance.
| |
| | |
| === Regional Syncing GOCDB ===
| |
| The following tasks need to be completed to produce a regional syncing GOCDB instance. "DONE" means completed in our current development version of GOCDB and not necessarily put into production.
| |
| | |
| * Enable database level tagging to allow scoping of data - <b>DONE</b>
| |
| * Modify PI queries to be scope aware (e.g. get_downtime?scope=Regional) - <b>DONE</b>
| |
| * Atomic database access - <b>IN PROGRESS</b>
| |
| * Add scoping capability to the web portal - <b>IN PROGRESS</b>
| |
| ** This is being achieved through MVC implementation of inserting / editing objects
| |
| *** Add / Edit Service Endpoint - <b>DONE</b>
| |
| *** Add / Edit Site - <b>IN PROGRESS</b>
| |
| *** Add / Edit Downtime
| |
| *** Add / Edit User
| |
| *** Add / Edit Role
| |
| * Native downtime viewing mechanism (Ops portal solution won't work for regional GOCDB)
| |
| * Remove old Non-MVC code
| |
| * Remove old XML Input code
| |
| * Indicate what scope data has in the web portal
| |
| ** When viewing an individual object
| |
| ** When viewing a table of objects
| |
| * Add scope specific web portal views
| |
| ** View Local Sites
| |
| ** View EGI Sites
| |
| ** Scope Specific Search
| |
| * Create transfer mechanism
| |
| ** Identify changed data
| |
| ** Expose changed data through the PI
| |
| ** Authenticate data sources
| |
| ** Validate exposed data
| |
| ** Add / Edit Objects
| |
| ** Confirm data has been successfully synchronized
| |
| * Create standard package creation process
| |
| * Define release process
| |
| * Documentation
| |
| ** Installation
| |
| ** Common maintenance tasks
| |
| ** Answers to common queries
| |
| ** NGI Specific Modification of a Regional GOCDB
| |
| *** Modifying the front end
| |
| *** Querying the database
| |
| | |
| === Other Developments ===
| |
| * <b>Explicitly indicate if all SEs of a site are in downtime through the PI</b>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Redevelop the xml_output module to implement nested XML collections,</b> probably using the Query2XML package. This is necessary because the existing XML Output module will only generate flat XML documents (e.g. that often map to individual DB entities). Currently SQL joins/associations between Sites, SEs and URLs cannot be represented as hierarchical/nested XML documents (for example, consider nesting multiple EndpointLocation objects/URLs in the ServiceEndpoint XML, see: [[Media:GocdbGlue2UnicoreV2.pdf]]).
| |
| | |
| * <b>Support for 'Virtual Site Entities (VSite)'</b> There is a requirement to group existing Service Endpoints (currently grouped under their corresponding 'owning' physical Site) under a new 'Virtual Site' entity. See: https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=987 and https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Logical-site
| |
| ** At present, the proposed features of a VSite will include (see [[Media:VirtualSitesDesign.pdf]]):
| |
| *** A VSite will be a separate GOCDB entity, and will have users and other attributes much like an existing physical site but with different rules (described below). Importantly, we believe this grouping has to be a new gocdb object in order to clearly define the intended semantics of the grouping (e.g. both a 'VSite' and an imaginary 'VService' could both group many SEs, but a VSite has very different semantics to a VService !).
| |
| *** A VSite will be used to group existing Service Endpoints only (i.e. SEs that have already been created under their owning physical Site).
| |
| *** A VSite cannot group new SEs that have no owning physical site.
| |
| *** A single SE may only have a single parent physical Site (i.e. GOCDB cardinality of 1 between Site and SE)
| |
| *** A single SE can have many parent VSites (requires GOCDB cardinality of 'many-to-many' between Virtual Site and SE).
| |
| *** New PI queries are proposed to support querying of VSites and querying of SEs that are grouped under a VSite (much like the existing get_site and get_service_endpoint methods (https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/GOCDB/PI/get_service_endpoint_method and https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/GOCDB/PI/get_site_method ). The following XML example is related: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/Main/ATPVOFeeds/atp_vo_feed_example.xml
| |
| *** The permissions model of a VSite is not yet well defined. It is currently proposed that users with a role over the owning physical site should maintain their cascading permissions over their SEs (i.e. no modification to the current site/permissions model), however, users with a role over the VSite will not have any cascading permissions over the SEs. Consequently, this has the following important implications;
| |
| **** A VSite could not be used to declare a downtime for all its member SEs.
| |
| **** Similarly, users with a role over the VS will not be able to update/modify a member SE.
| |
| *** If VSite permissions are required (e.g. for declaring SE downtimes and modifying SEs), then a user may have to request a new role under the physical site or be granted a corresponding permission. These requirements are currently undefined.
| |
| | |
| * <b>The GOCDB role/permissions model may need to be updated</b> in order to cater for a finer grained permission proposal currently emerging as a new EGI requirement. [[Media:FinerGrainedGOCDB_rolesVeraProposal2.xls]]
