NMI Testing notes

Here are a list of things I had to do to get the OGCE build running on NMI:

• Copy my own maven tar ball over to the NMI machine. For some reason, using the OGCE's bundled maven caused problems
  

NMI checking java pre-reqs for various platforms

If you want to check which version of java a given platform provides, use the following command:
nmi_list_prereqs --platform= java

Here's a handy PERL script that goes through a whole list of platforms and tells you if they support a specific java version. You can easily modify it to just display the platform version.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Author: Rishi Verma

# PURPOSE:
# This script goes through a list of platforms, checks whether each platform suppports
# a specific version of JDK, and prints the result (yes, no) onto the screen.


$jdk_version = "java-1.5.0_08";
$counter = 1;

# array for all non-mac platforms
@non_mac_platforms = ("x86_64_fc_4", "x86_64_fc_5", "x86_64_rhap_5", "x86_64_rhas_3", "x86_64_rhas_4", "x86_64_sles_8", "x86_cent_4.2", "x86_deb_3.1", "x86_deb_4.0", "x86_fc_2", "x86_fc_3", "x86_fc_4", "x86_fc_5", "x86_rh_7.2", "x86_rh_8.0", "x86_rh_9", "x86_rhap_5", "x86_rhas_3", "x86_rhas_4", "x86_slc_3", "x86_sles_8", "x86_sles_9", "x86_slf_3", "x86_suse_10.0", "x86_suse_10.2", "x86_ubuntu_5.10");

# go through each platform, check if jdk_version exists for it, and print yes or no
foreach(@non_mac_platforms)
{
$output = `nmi_list_prereqs --platform=$_ java`;

if ($output =~ /$jdk_version/)
{ print "$counter) Platform: $_ supports $jdk_version ? => YES\n"; }
else
{ print "$counter) Platform: $_ supports $jdk_version ? => NO\n"; }

$counter++;
}

XBaya load problem

XBaya doesn't seem to launch properly coming straight out of the box (as part of OGCE).

PROBLEM:
I keep getting the following:
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Category: Launch File Error
The field codebase has an invalid value: @HOST_BASE_URL@/xbaya/

I tried changing the value of "@HOST_BASE_URL@" to "${host.base.url}" in xbaya.jsp and xbaya.jnlp (in portlets/xbaya/src/main/webapp), but this yields pretty much the same problem.

SOLUTION:
In tomcat/webapps/xbaya/ open up xbaya-final.jsp and xbaya.jnlp, change "@HOST_BASE_URL@" to "http://localhost:8080".

Proxymanager GFAC credential problem

To try and resolve the proxy credential mismatch between proxy-manager portlet and gfac, I tried just manually deleting the following two jars from gfac deployment directory:

• cog-jglobus, version: 1.2-050621
• proxymanager-api, version: 4.3

No longer am I getting the old error (from GFAC Portlet) that I use to be getting - related to the portlet not being able to get a proxy credential, now I have a new problem when I first obtain a credential from proxy-manager and then try to open up gfac:

xsul.XsulException: The credential is not a Globus credential. at xsul.invoker.gsi.GsiInvoker.createPuretlsContext(GsiInvoker.java:51) at xsul.invoker.gsi.GsiInvoker.(GsiInvoker.java:43) at

MySQL won't start problem

Was trying to run MySQL, but came across a really annoying problem - it kept saying it couldn't find a "socket" file and thus wouldn't start.

eg.
> mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Here's how to fix it, just start the MySQL daemon again and all will work:

> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &

Grid FTP / MDSS testing

Time has come to test the file-manager portlet once again. I'm using the same "MDSSLoadTesting.jmx" file as before, just with slightly bigger files this time.

I have downloaded the files, and just need to run the test within JMeter. I need to add three accounts however to the OGCE portal: ogceUSER1, ogceUSER2, ogceUSER3.

Find out if something is running on port 8080

For my remote NMI builds, there is a problem I am facing that the portal I am building won't start on port 8080 because it is "being used by" something else.

Here's a test you can perform automatically to verify if the port is indeed being blocked, and by what (use the "lsof" command). By the way this doesn't actually help me any for my NMI builds since the NMI machines don't have the "lsof" command.

echo -------- IS THE TOMCAT PORTAL ALREADY RUNNING, OR IS PORT 8080 BEING USED? ---------
# COMMAND TO FIND OUT WHAT IS RUNNING ON PORT 8080
lsof -i :8080

if test $? -ne 0; then
echo " => PORT 8080 IS FREE, NO PROBLEMO"
else
echo " => PORT 8080 IS BLOCKED, TRY SHUTTING DOWN TOMCAT SERVER"
portal_deploy/apache-tomcat-5.5.12/bin/shutdown.sh
fi
