Support¶
Please, use GGUS for any enquiry related to the Information System and also to report any incident.
User guides¶
ginfo: A client to query GLUE 2.0 information from the BDII.
lcg-info/lcg-infosites
: Two different clients to query GLUE 1.3 information from the BDII. This guide also contains a detailed description of how to use the ldapsearch command. Note that lcg-info and lcg-infosites are now frozen in terms of new functionality and are maintained in a best effort basis.
BDII clients¶
LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS configuration: Best practices from a client perspective for top-BDIIs.
User requirements¶
Information System User requirements: Twiki to track general user requirements for the Information System.
WLCG evolution¶
In June 2015, OSG announced their plans to stop using the BDII to publish their
computing resources (See Slides
presented at the WLCG Operations Coordination Meeting in 18th of June). This
announcement has triggered the review of the current WLCG Information System.
It has been decided to create a
task force
to evaluate how WLCG is going to evolve to be able to cover the existing use
cases and finally improve all the existing drawbacks and weaknesses of its
current implementation.
