ARCCE: anyone still using the old interfaces?

[aldbr]

Is anyone still using the ARCComputingElement or ARC6ComputingElement?

If not, we could actually drop them from v9.0.

Hello @aldbr ,

Whe have CEType=ARC. Could you please tell how chould I change this line to work with curent interface for ARC resources?

[aldbr]

Sure:

• step1: from a DIRAC client, execute the following command to get the port used by the CE to provide the AREX interface:

$ arcinfo -c <ce name>
Computing service: arc (production)
  Information endpoint: ldap://<ce name>:2135/Mds-Vo-Name=local,o=grid (org.nordugrid.ldapng)
  Information endpoint: ldap://<ce name>:2135/o=glue (org.nordugrid.ldapglue2)
  Information endpoint: https://<ce name>:443/arex (org.nordugrid.arcrest) <------------ get the port used here
  Information endpoint: https://<ce name>:443/arex (org.ogf.glue.emies.resourceinfo)
  Submission endpoint: https://<ce name>:443/arex (status: ok, interface: org.nordugrid.arcrest)
  Submission endpoint: https://<ce name>:443/arex (status: ok, interface: org.ogf.glue.emies.activitycreation)
  Submission endpoint: gsiftp://<ce name>:2811/jobs (status: ok, interface: org.nordugrid.gridftpjob)

• step2: simply replace CEType=ARC with CEType=AREX in the configuration
• step3: if the port is not 443 (the default one), then you also need to add the following option to your configuration:

Port = <AREX port>

Please let me know if you need any help.
Thanks

If you encounter such logs from the Site Director execution:

Request timed out, consider increasing the Timeout value...

Follow the suggestion by adding a Timeout option in the CE configuration with a value higher than 5, for instance:

Timeout = 60

Just to say that GridPP is all AREX.
