Agenda
Site Updates
SESAME
Installed latest icat.server (v6) & ids.server. Issue with ids.server install, Rocky 9 incompatibility issue, python 2 vs 3 issue? Had to have full paths to IDS plugins
Rolf: will check this issue on my side Rolf: only need local path in test config, but might be issue with setup process of the plugin not installing in expected place.
HZB
Not much to report.
ESRF
Nothing to report. Released new version of DataPortal officially. Working on MX group sample tracking part.
ISIS
Need to upgrade some machines they forgot about. Still need to port either their authn or ids plugin to be compatible with Payara6 so they can run everything with Payara6. Think ids. Main thing of particular interest.
DLS
Not too much. Upgraded the datagateway-api to fix query slowness. Running a user workshop for DGW/ICAT for quick win improvements.
Component Updates
icat.server
Got icat.server running in Quarkus native mode. Got to create PRs for that work. Need to keep it synced with Patrick's search PR, which is a large PR so going to base future PRs off of that to avoid conflicts.
Rolf: long term strategy, plan to support Payara and Quarkus? Alan: hard to maintain both, can potentially split core and two extra repos to cover the server specific builds. Don't know though, hope was to make it possible but will have to see.
python-icat
Release, 1.5.1, very minor. Some 1.5 changes weren't documented properly, so 1.5.1 adds that documentation (but no code change)
AOB
None
