-----------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade JGlobus version to 2.0.6-RC2
Key: AIRAVATA-883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-883
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: GFac
Environment: Unix/Linux
Reporter: Amila Jayasekara
Fix For: 0.9
With the upgrade I am also planning to introduce following functionalities at
GFac level.
1. Recovery mechanisms at GFac level
a. Two phase commit
b. Resuming Job monitoring after Airavata restarts
2. Job cancellation at GFac API level
Some of the FAQs are answered below;
a. Why upgrade ?
We had been using cog-jglobus 1.8.0 for grid communication. This is a fairly
old library and some of the functionalities are not supported. (E.g:- TLS
communication, SHA2 support, Support to handle X509Certificates using Java
objects)
b. Why "RC2" ?
We have tested 2.0.6-RC2 against functionalities we use within GFac. You may
find these test cases in [2].
c. What are the areas tested ?
Tests cover, myproxy operations, file transfer operations and job submission.
Further these tests were ran against trestles, lonestar and stampede providers.
d. From where we going to pick 2.0.6-RC2 jars ?
Since 2.0.6-RC2 is not yet released we will add these jars as file system repo
to trunk. Plan is to get JGlobus 2.0.6 release out before 0.9 release.
Comments/objections/concerns welcome.
