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

    • Double session of presentations about new products and new features from the EGI's technology providers latest releases
