9:00 - 11:45, Martin, Florido, Maiken, Aleksander, Balazs, David, Gabor, Oxana, Andrii (for a short time)

1) defaultqueue

discussed, not relevant on the server side, no need for any arc.conf modification. Maybe infosys should mark the default server-side queue somehow...

2) default handling proposal

the main principles are endorseded: set defults in buildtime from one single location/file. Mattias comes with a technical proposal.

related TODO: Martin to provide the missing default values

3) [common/perflog]

agreed to introduce such a new block and move the related parameter(s) there

4) loglevel in [common]

decision: no need for such parameter

5) jura

long discussion between Aleksandr and Gabor. The major agreement was to make the job accounting files in controldir/log target-independent, i.e. do not put there the SGAS/APEL endpoint URLS and other accounting target related information.

decision: controldir/log should contain endpoint neutral logfiles!

other changes:

- fix: jobreport as loglevel

- change archiving=yes/no AND archivedir= some path

- archivettl=365: new feature to implement !

TODO: Gabor should start looking at the JURA/AREX code and understand the changes necessary for the target-neutral approach. We may need to come back to JURA again

6) order of the blocks

It is confirmed that the some of the blocks ARC:CONF is order dependent. Alekandr made a clarification regarding which blocks are those.

"Some parts of the configuration file are order-dependent: there can be blocks or
configuration variables that may require other blocks be defined earlier"

grid-manager' authorization blocks MUST come before grid-manager and their respective order.

TODO: Balazs update the arc.conf file and makes this info very much visible.

7) grid-manager block name:

[grid-manager] from now will be called [arex], including all the sub-blocks.

There may be some other "old fashioned" names that we should check.

TODO: Balazs carry out the changes in the reference file and look for other "old variable names"

8) [datadelivery-service] new block

agreed to have such a block for the stand-alone, separate service. a side-effect:

the general xml framework is not general any longer: it is now service specific. this may cause problems in the future if someone would like to develop a new hed service and use the xml config/profiles

9) block headers [queue/name]

agreement: introduce a new separator, the : for names in block headers see e.g.  [queue:longqueue] vs. [arex/ws]

TODO: Balazs to update arc.conf

10) "name" parameters inside blocks

[queue:longqueue] AND  name=longqueue

decision: remove all name parameters inside blocks now that we have a consistent block naming.

11) ganglia config

Decided to have one and only one place for ganglia config:

[arex/ganglia]

12) case sensitivity

no change from the old config, the new config is still case-sensitive

13)  Attribute precedence in LRMS scripts/Valid attributes

this discussion was not conclusive, to be continued.

14) aob: new time slot for this meeting: send out doodle!

fill the doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/c97gbbbd5uf7h7za

-----------------------------------------------

OPEN Topics for the next call:

- Andrii's DNS-Index  and the  arc.conf

- repeating parameters in several blocks (e.g. authorizedvo)

- merging grid-manager/ws/cache  and ws/candypond ?

- Attribute precedence in LRMS scripts/Valid attributes

- Oxana's feedback
