Dirac v6r9

The main new feature in the release is starting to use the new version of the Request Management System together with the Data Management system. Those new features that need special care when upgrading from previous versions to v6r9 are outlined below.

Request Management System

Full instructions and a general overview of the new version of RMS can be found here.

Resource Status System

As from v6r9p5

use ResourceManagementDB;
ALTER TABLE SpaceTokenOccupancyCache MODIFY Free DOUBLE NOT NULL Default 0;
ALTER TABLE SpaceTokenOccupancyCache MODIFY Guaranteed DOUBLE NOT NULL Default 0;
ALTER TABLE SpaceTokenOccupancyCache MODIFY Total DOUBLE NOT NULL Default 0;

Failover Transfer

The transferAndRegister and transferAndRegisterFailover methods have a different signature. They used to be

def tranferAndRegister( self, fileName, localPath, lfn, destinationSEList, fileGUID = None, fileCatalog = None )
def transferAndRegisterFileFailover( self, fileName, localPath, lfn, targetSE, failoverSEList, fileGUID = None, fileCatalog = None )

And they are now

def transferAndRegisterFile( self,
                               fileName,
                               localPath,
                               lfn,
                               destinationSEList,
                               fileMetaDict,
                               fileCatalog = None )
def transferAndRegisterFileFailover( self,
                                       fileName,
                                       localPath,
                                       lfn,
                                       targetSE,
                                       failoverSEList,
                                       fileMetaDict,
                                       fileCatalog = None )

Notice the fileMetaDict in the new signature instead of the fileGUID.
