APEL Publisher v. 3.2.7

 

Release Notes

What's new:

• APEL publisher allows VO filtering (list of VOs for which the site wants to publish accounting data to the central server) and mapping between local groups to VOs.
• APEL publisher can be run in only joining mode without contacting the broker.
• The publisher doesn't start the ActiveMQ session until the joining of records has been done, avoiding timeouts.
• The default value for the Limit variable has been lowered to avoid out of memory problems.

Deployment notes:

• The service must be reconfigured with YAIM after updating/installation.

Known issues:

• GGUS #77150 - yaim execution gives an error: mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Can't create database 'accounting'; database exists
  • Workaround:
    • It is caused by wrong condition in /opt/glite/yaim/functions/config_apel file. It should looks like this:

[root@ce functions]# diff config_apel.orig config_apel

80c80

< if [ !$?=0 ]; then

---

> if [ ! $? = 0 ]; then

• GGUS #77129 - Problem with file /usr/bin/apel-publisher_tmp from glite-apel-publisher-2.0.16-0.sl5. Variable MYSQL_DRIVER_CP does not contain file /usr/share/glite-apel-core/java/mm-mysql.jar
  • Workaround:
    • Adding the jar file (from glite-apel-core-2.0.14-4.sl5) to MYSQL_DRIVER_CP fixes the problem.
