It is dedicated to ensure: # to be a management and operations tool # to be an entry point for all Egee actors for their operational needs # to manage the available informations about EGEE VOs and related VOs # to monitor and ensure grid day-to-day operations on grid resources and services Each actor of Egee will then be able to enter or have access to informations from an operational point of view according to its role into Egee - what we define as an actor's view: # VO views : actions depending upon VO Managers and VO administrator # VO mb views : actions depending upon VO members responsabilities # RC views : actions depending upon RC responsabilities # and so on with COD, ROC and OAG Home section of the portal is public. Other sections are secured using certificates and SSL authentication. ################################### Main changes from v-4.5 ################################### Main changes are presented in 6 groups: 0- Background - technical changes 1- New features 2- Improvements of existing features 3- Bug fixes 4- Failover related work 5- integration and parallel work additionnaly, the exhaustive development list is published at the end of this document, giving for each development the following information: - purpose of the development - entity or person requesting this development - end of development date 0- Background - technical changes ################################### N/A 1- New features ################################### Notification system linked to the new scheduled Downtime procedure ------------------------------------------------------------------ Scheduled/Unscheduled downtime declaration procedure has been improved, regarding both GOCDB annd CIC portal parts. Main idea is to synhronize downtime declaration on the GOC portal with notification/broadcasting from the CIC portal. This new notification system ensures: - All responsible bodies impacted by a given downtime are notified - Anybody can subscribe to mail or RSS notifications by choosing different scopes (region, VO, site, node...) Help and documentation page is available at http://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=home&page=SDprocedure Comparator page BDII vs GOCDB ----------------------------- To point out inconsistencies between what is published in the information system and what is published in the GOCDB, we have provided a page that shows, node by node and service by service, the differences between the two systems. The page is available in the RC section, under the "Resource Comparator" label: https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=rc&page=comparator 2- Improvements of existing features ################################### VO ID cards ----------- Small adds in the ID card: - Modifications in VOMS information: a new field for comments has been added for VOMS server definition - VOMS server certificate DN is displayed under the standard globus form 3- Bug fixes ################################### - Small bug fixes in VO registration form (see development list below for details) - Bug in Authentication mechanism linked to differences between SSL versions - stop sending RC reports reminders to uncertified or non production sites 4- Failover related work ################################### N/A 5- integration and parallel work ################################### N/A ################################### Development details since last release ################################### ------- 09/2007 ------- + Update References to Operation Procedure Manual on different pages of the portal. - asked by CIC + Bug fix: problem to add notes to a given site in COD dabsboard - asked by CODs ------- 10/2007 ------- + VO ID cards: add a field for VOMS server to allow manager to specify what the server is used for - asked by Alan Jonckheere + VO ID cards: bug fix in registration form.
