Integration with EGI Information Service

The basics of EGI Information Service are described at  link.

In general, information about a grid service is produced by a service provider and transfered into the closest BDII (LDAP) instance (typically co-allocated with the service).This procedure is significantly simplified with the help of tools offered by EMI Resource Information Service (emi-resource-information-service). Consequently, the integration of new services was limited to the provisioning of a few script and configuration files. In case of QCG-Notification, the required stuff is distributed within the package: "qcg-net-egi-is-provider", available for SL5 and SL6.

Requirements

The integration of QCG-Notification with the EGI IS is based on tools enclosed in the emi-resource-information-service metapackage (among others glite-info-provider-service). The packages may be obtained from the EMI repo, which should be added to the yum in prior the installation:

    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ 
    wget http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/3/repos/sl6/emi3-base.repo 
    wget http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/3/repos/sl6/emi3-updates.repo

    rpm --import http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/3/RPM-GPG-KEY-emi

    yum install emi-resource-information-service

Installation
