Present: Milan, Steve, Tom, Jianguo, Brian M, Wayne, Alex, Andy, Rolf and Chris P

Action 87.0 All of the DOI scripts have been run for recent releases.

Action 87.1 Testing on OS X is complete. During testing Steve found that glassfish 4.0 doesn’t work with OS X which mean glassfish 4.2 would have to be used. ICAT however, doesn’t work with 4.2 so Steve proposes to wait for the WildFly configuation to be ready.

  • Steve has made available a ICAT 4.6 SNAPSHOT.  He is currently waiting for feedback from Wayne about the Lucene calls.
  • Steve has updated the authenticators to include the new getDescription calls. These are also available as SNAPSHOTS.
  • Steve has given Rolf a login to the repository but Rolf still requires an area.
  • Rolf had concerns that the ICAT might be leaning away from SOAP and as python-icat is a SOAP client this could mean having to change the code base. Steve commented on how ICAT will continue to have the option of using SOAP which answered Rolfs concerns.
  • Steve has released the ids.smartclient with .debian,  .rpm and .exe for windows. Steve is not far off from making a .pkg for OS X.
  • In Kevin’s absence Tom reported on webdav, informing the team that it will be out for testing within the next few weeks for CLF.
  • Wayne has released a V1.13 SNAPSHOT last week. This has added support for ICAT v4.5.
  • TopCat V2 is currently working with Https, globus and smartclient. There is currently an issue with Firefox and TopCat V2 that Wayne is currently investigating. There will be a Beta release of TopCat V2 soon.
  • Alex reported on the requirements meeting with ISIS for ICAT dashboard. No new requirements were captured.
  • Steve will be producing an updated installer once Topcat 1.13.0 is no longer a SNAPSHOT.
  • Steve is currently working on the Wildfly container and all is going well so

far.
