#241 DCI-Bridge Configuration Error relating the BOINC submitter

[Gabor Hermann]

This error occurs at least in the releases 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.6.8

If the administrator of the DCI-BRIDGE changes the original configuration of a BOINC resource then

• The system may store an unrequested relay route to an undefined slave dci bridge
  i.e. the subsequent jobs associated with the given BOINC resource will be redirected to the undefined target and will fail;
• The list of names of deployed and enabled applications belonging to the given resource will be duplicated.

Solution:

I. The subsequent release (3.6.9) will fix the error.

II. The manual edition of the file “dci-bridge.xml”
(location <tomcat_home>/webapps/dci_bridge_service/WEB-INF )
gives a temporary fix of the problem:</tomcat_home>

• The “forward” tag must be invalidated within the proper tags referencing the BOINC
  resources i.e. the forward tag after the change must have the following form:

  <forward usethis="true">  </forward>
  

• The duplicated tags referencing the application names in the list of “<job>” items
  must be deleted.</job>

These changes must be executed within the tag headed by:

<middleware type="boinc" enabled="true"></middleware>

Note that the portal must be restarted in order to validate the changes defined by the new value of the dci-bidge configuration file “dci-bridge.xml”.
