dCache SRM Client 2.16.12 Release Notes

Highlights

This release sees the introduction of a new client: srmfs. This is an interactive shell that allows manipulation of namespace, uploads and downloads.

Move away from jGlobus. With this release, all dependencies on JGlobus have been dropped. The client now uses Apache HTTP compontents, our own FTP client, and the CaNL library.

Changes:

• Add support for RHEL-7 / CentOS-7 / SL-7
• Fix support for rd-party copies
• Fix GSI delegation with old (pre-2.13) servers
• Enforce SL5 compatibility when building RPM packages
• Drop jGlobus, switch to Apache HTTP components, our own FTP client, and CANL
• Respect server estimates when polling bring-online requests
• Fix ArrayIndexOutOfBounds failure
• By default, consider copyjobfile when deciding whether to delegate
• Add support for supplying a userRequestDescription
• Report (more detailed) file level errors, rather than request level error.
• Delegate by default for https 3rd-party transfers
• Report srmPutDone failures, rather than ignoring them.
• Add interactive SRM shell
• Output file level errors for sync requests
• Fix logback configuration
