UW-Madison CompSci infrastructure outages Wed, June 19 6:30AM Central
I apologize for the late notice, but the University of Wisconsin-Madison's
Computer Sciences department will be performing scheduled maintenance to
our infrastructure early tomorrow morning (6:30AM - 8:00AM Central). There is a 1.5 hour maintenance window, during which time a few
OSG resources may be unavailable. We believe that this outage will not
cause significant problems for OSG users in general, mostly just OSG
Software staff. Affected systems include:
* The old VDT website (vdt.cs.wisc.edu, largely deprecated now)
* The VDT Pacman caches (now end-of-lifed)
* The OSG Subversion repository (mostly used for development)
* The OSG Software upstream cache (used for OSG Software builds in koji)

GOC Service Update - Tuesday, June 25th at 13:00 UTC
The GOC will upgrade the following services beginning Tuesday, June 25th, 2013 at 13:00 UTC. The GOC reserves 8 hours in the unlikely event that unexpected problems are encountered. We encourage users to test affected services before the production release.
GratiaWeb
* 'gratia-fix-unknown-vo'; and a correction to the 'apel_url'. This apel_url correction allows the wlcg_reporting and jot_reporting pages to successfully query APEL data (GRATIA-108)
* Unspecified updates made for GratiaWeb version 1.2-5.
GOC Ticket 1.65
* Disabling /itb and /storage URLs which were deprecated in February (TICKET-57)
* (patched) removed unnecessary sql value escape for Data model
* Updated the close icon on alert message
* Fixed the way Apache Solr indexer URL was configured
MyOSG 2.12
* Releasing Perfsonar VO Matrix page which displays Perfsonar mesh result in a single view for all endpoints participating in a particular VO.
* Added perfsonar test result parameters for OSG full matrix popover.
* Updated the close icon on alert message
* Fixed the issue with CSV export where newline characters inside RSV detail was not escaped (MYOSG-68)
* Added display for Virtual Organization / cert only indicators (OIM-67)
OSG-Xsede
* Updates to the OSG stack
OIM 3.20
* Adding “Certificate Issue Only” check box for Virtual Organization (OIM-67)
* Add validation to only allow ascii char for user certificate requester name (OIM-63)
* Updating Apache POI library (For exporting Excel doc) and running tomcat server as “headless” to prevent issues associated with X Window / Display parameters.
* Allowing admin_gridamdin to revoke host cert, and admin_ra to revoke user cert.
* (patched) added user cert DN contact ID reset code if it doesn't match with the requester
Confluence 5.1.3 - https://confluence.grid.iu.edu
* Upgrading from 5.0.1 to 5.1.3 (jumping 6 releases - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Release+Notes)
All Services
There will be OS updates; reboots will be required. Downtime should be minimal, and the usual high-availability mechanisms will be used to reduce service downtime even further and eliminate it in most cases. However, services may experience degraded performance, and the services without HA mechanisms (OIM and Twiki) will still experience brief downtimes. Updates include, but are not limited to:
* [RHSA-2013:0847-01] Moderate: kernel security and bug fix update
* [RHSA-2013:0869-01] Important: tomcat6 security update
* [RHSA-2013:0870-01] Important: tomcat5 security update
* [RHSA-2013:0911-01] Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update
GratiaWeb
