DIS-BDII-Client

Introduction

This Service replaces the DIS-R-GMA-Client Service implemented in the DILIGENT Alpha release: the EGEE infrastructure has definitely choosen the BDII Server as default gLite Information System, and there was not need to maintain a R-GMA Server harvester active in the DILIGENT Infrastructure. This service is in charge to harvest resources information from the gLite BDII Server it has been configured to interact with. This information is related to grid resources (CEs, SEs, I/O Servers, etc.) belonging to each gLite based grid infrastructure the DILIGENT system is interacting with. Then, the gathered information is manipulated in order to be compliant with the schema adopted in DILIGENT and published as gLite Resource using the DIS-Registry (static information based on Glue schema specification v1.2) or as WS-Resource Properties on the local DIS-IP where the DIS-BDII is deployed via the Aggregator Framework support.
