MPDL Developer Meeting 2008-09-16

MPDL  Restricted Access to MPDL

Open questions

 * The search module is using a new library for building up a cql-tree.
 * The problem is this new library works only with java-1.6
 * Since all solution servers, except dev-pubman are running under java-1.5 we should decide whether to upgrade all solution-servers to java-1.6
 * probably the biggest decision criteria to be considered is: if it can run under same JBoss with core services

Outcome past meeting

 * Library is recompiled under 1.5 and should work together with current instance of FW
 * check again with FIZ when would be possible to move to 1.6
 * inform FIZ that we will be able to deal with single JBoss problem in October (Tom)

Outcome this meeting

 * New input after VIDCo with FIZ, 09.09.2008
 * After release 1.0 of core services we will approach upgrading to Java 1.6 the biggest issue was Fedora before, see also Upgrade to Java 1.6 topic

VIRR R2

 * Prioritization of TOC edit or PubMan
 * VIRR release has been done, so 1.0 is closed, and now the version 2 can start (only in sources)

Servers
Order status?:


 * "normal machine" (like srv04 an srv05) for hosting of latest-coreservice.mpdl.mpg.de and latest-test-coreservice.mpdl.mpg.de (find proper name), each in a xen virtual machine


 * "normal machine" (like 1.) for hosting of colab.mpdl.mpg.de and blogs.mpdl.mpg.de also each in a xen-virtual-machine


 * "normal machine ", but with either SAN-Connection or heavy local Diskspace for keeping Data (escidoc-builds, data-sets for mass ingestion into fedora, other stuff)
 * This space could be mounted by other machines over nfs to avoid full local filesystems...
 * this machine could also run the shibboleth-federation (LDAP, IdP, SP)

Outcome

 * Monitoring needed
 * Lars opts for zabbix (see JIRA ticket)
