0.1 Client configuration

C++ WMProxy client commands behavior may be configured by editing a proper configuration file. Here follow the steps needed to properly configure file location on client side:

Changed:
<
<
1 For each supported Virtual Organisation a directory must be created, with the following name:
/etc/glite-wms/<vo name-lowercase>
>
>
  1. For each supported Virtual Organisation a directory must be created, with the following name:
    /etc/glite-wms/<vo name-lowercase>
 (e.g. for dteam /etc/glite-wms/dteam)
Changed:
<
<
  1. Files installation:
  • org.glite.wms.client (version > 3.1.9) installs a template file in the following location:
    /etc/vo_template/glite_wmsui.conf.template          

This file should be copied with the name "glite_wmsui.conf" in each directory created in step 1)

  • for backward compatibility (version <= 3.1.9) old configuration file name approach is still accepted
    /etc/vo_template/glite_wms.conf          

This file should be copied with the name "glite_wms.conf" in each directory created in step 1)

    /etc/vo_template/glite_wms.conf
    This file should be copied with the name "glite_wms.conf" in each directory created in step 1)
  2. Edit the configuration files, e.g.:
    /etc/glite-wms/dteam/glite_wms.conf
    and check if desired parameters are correctly set, e.g.:
    [
          WMProxyEndPoints = {"https://ghemon.cnaf.infn.it:7443/glite_wms_wmproxy_server"};
          ErrorStorage = "/var/tmp"; 
          OutputStorage= "/tmp";
          ListenerStorage = "/tmp";
          VirtualOrganisation = "dteam";
          JdlDefaultAttributes=[
                  RetryCount = 3;
                  ShallowRetryCount = 3;
                  rank =  -other.GlueCEStateEstimatedResponseTime;
                  requirements = other.GlueCEStateStatus == "Production" ;
                  myCustomizedAttribute = "foo";
                  SignificantAttributes={"rank","requirements","fuzzyrank"};
                  ]
          ]
    For backward compatibility (version <= 3.1.9), WmsClient section of the configuration file will contain above attributes
  3. Configuration file attributes description
    A brief summary of all supported attributes for the configuration file follows.
    WMProxyEndPoints
    : list of endpoints URL of the WMProxy to contact.
    ErrorStorage: path of the directory where the UI creates log files.
    OutputStorage: path of the directory where the job OutputSandbox files are stored if not specified by the user through commands options.
    ListenerStorage
    : path of the directory where are created the pipes where the glite_wms_console_shadow process saves the job standard streams for interactive jobs.
    VirtualOrganisation
    : the virtual organisation used to perform the operation
    JdlDefaultAttributes: (version >= 3.1.13) This is a classad attribute and allows the user specifying a set of attributes/values that will be automatically inserted in the submitting JDL
    For backward compatibility (since version < 3.1.13, JdlDefaultAttributes section not present) following attriubtes will be taken in consideration:
    Rank: default value for the ranking expression in the JDL.
    Requirements: default value for the requirements expression in the JDL (a further condition on the submitting requirements will be added)
    RetryCount: default value for the RetryCount attribute in the JDL.
    MyProxyServer: MyProxy server address. To be set only if proxy renewal has to be enabled for all requests.
    LBAddress: this attribute forces the WMProxy server to register jobs and/or log events to the specified LB.
  4. Configuration File Priority
    Attributes listed configuration file described in step 2) may be overridden by (in order of priority):

    --config option of WMProxy Client commands
    $HOME/.glite/<vo name>/glite_wmsclient.conf
    $GLITE_WMS_CLIENT_CONFIG

    Please note that the attributes not present in the customized file, yet listed in file described in step 2), are inherited by final configuration attributes. If the user does not want to inherit a specific attribute, he may assign a null/empty value (depending on the type).
    Please notice that default configuration files will be parsed anyway: default attributes will be taken in consideration when not found on customized configuration file.
  5. Other client configuration steps:
    • Make sure $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib and $GLITE_LOCATION/lib are included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    • Add $GLITE_LOCATION/bin to your PATH
