 patch #3040: WMS UI 3.3 Release

Release Notes:

• New Features:
  • IPv6
  • JSDL
  • Delegation v 2.0
  • JSON Format output
  • DNS Load Balance
  • Failover mechanism integration
  • Configuration file
  • JDL Grammar Checker

  • IPv6 Compliance
  In the gLite WMS UI 3.2 all the commands glite-wms-job-* are now fully compliant with IPv6 technology, not breaking any backward compatibility of IPv4. This applies to WMProxy APIs Python, C++, Java as well.
  • JSDL Support within WMS
  The JSDL (Job Submission Description Language) job description file is now allowed for Job Submission within the WMS. The current support is restricted to simple jobs, and counting to add bulk submission in the next future, availability depends on JSDL specifications provided by OGF JSDL WG:

  http://forge.ogf.org/sf/projects/jsdl-wg
  • Delegation v 2.0
  The gLite WMS UI 3.2 now supports the Gridsite Delegation 2.0.0 new methods:

  • getNewProxyReq
  • renewProxyReq
  • destroy
  • getTerminationTime
  • getInterfaceVersion
  • getServiceMetadata
  • getProxy (already present in 1.0.0)
  • putProxy (already present in 1.0.0)

  For more informations please check the following links:

  • GridSite Delegation
  • Delegation 2.0.0 WSDL
  • JSON Format output
  The following commands have now a new option --json which prints the output following JSON format specifications:

  • glite-wms-job-submit
  • glite-wms-job-output
  • glite-wms-job-cancel

  Please note that this new option does not work with --nomsg and --debug.
  • DNS Load Balance
  The WMS UI 3.2 is now able to resolve an hostname given in input from configuration file, option --endpoint or environment variable, from a DNS, Alias or IP address. This allows the DNS to balance the computing load of its WMS machine, returning the best WMS available behind it. No other operations are required to the WMS UI, being the metric problems handled by the DNS on WMProxy Server side.
  • Failover mechanism integration
  Missing failover mechanism has been added for the command:

  • glite-wms-job-list-match

  For further details please refer to:

  • http://trinity.datamat.it/projects/EGEE/wiki/wiki.php?n=WMProxyService.NewFeatures#Failover
  • Configuration file
  The WMS UI configuration file has been merged in a unique filename:

  • glite_wmsui.conf

  For further informations on configuration attributes and configuration file priority please check paragraph 3 and 4 at the following link:

  • http://trinity.datamat.it/projects/EGEE/wiki/wiki.php?n=WMProxyClient.ConfigurationGuide
  • JDL Grammar Checker
  In the JDL 3.2 released with the WMS UI 3.3 a new JDL grammar checker has been introduced. The checker will throw an exception to the WMS UI if the JDL is not well formed, giving the line number of the JDL where the syntax error occurs, and the error itself.
