Operational Procedures
[1]
This document does not describe future procedures. The purpose is to document the procedures
used currently to operate the LCG2/EGEE production service and to describe the tools that are
in use to implement the procedures.
Security Incident Handling and Response Guide
[2]
This document is intended for Grid site security contacts and site administrators. It is
expected that this policy document will be supplemented by additional information concerning
Incident Response procedures published on project websites.
OAG Procedures and Policy Report
[3]
This document describes mandate, composition, procedures, and tools of the Operations Advisory
Group (OAG) of EGEE, either planned or in place. The OAG is a coordination group between the
activities NA4 (Applications) and SA1 (Operations). This could be important for VO managers,
especially of new VOs, and also for site administrators as well as ROC managers.
VOMS Admin [4]
The VOMS Admin service is a web application providing tools for administering member databases for
VOMS, the Virtual Organization Membership Service. VOMS serves as a central repository for user
authorization information, providing support for sorting users into a general group hierarchy, keeping
track of their roles, etc. Its functionality may be compared to that of a Kerberos KDC server.
It provides an intuitive web user interface for daily administration tasks, and a SOAP interface
for remote clients. (The entire functionality of the VOMS Admin service is accessible via the
SOAP interface.) The Admin package includes a simple command-line SOAP client that is useful for
automating frequently occuring batch operations, or simply to serve as an alternative to the full-blown
web interface. It is also useful for bootstrapping the service.

Integrate a new Virtual Organization
[6]
This document proposes a procedure for both acceptance and deployment of a new VO to the EGEE infrastructure.
It contains the organizational and technical aspects of these procedures.The target audience of this document
is the SA1 people, in particular, the representatives of RCs, ROCs, CICs and OMC.
Virtual Organization Registration Procedure
[7]
This document lists the necessary steps a Virtual Organisation (VO) should take in order to get
registered with and integrated into the EGEE infrastructure.
Virtual Organization Security Policy
[8]
This policy defines a set of responsibilities placed on the members of the VO and the VO as a whole through its
managers. It aims to ensure that all Grid participants have sufficient information to properly fulfil their roles
with respect to interactions with a Virtual Organisation (VO). This policy does not address the
process by which disputes between Grid participants are resolved. It is expected that VO and Grid management bodies
will agree appropriate mechanisms through which such disputes can be resolved.

Grid Log Retention Guidelines
[10]
The current minimal Log Retention policy states that log information must be kept for at least 90 days. This page intends
to details a sample implementation of this policy. Job submission will normally progress from a User Interface (UI) machine,
through a Resource Broker (RB) to a Computing Element (CE) and hence to the compute resource (usually a batch system). In some
cases the RB is not used and the UI submits the job directly to the CE. Data access is through a Storage Element (SE) service
and may be initiated directly from the UI or from a task executed on the compute resource.
Sources of trace information for the LCG CE
[11]
Security Service Challenge level 1 (SSC_1)
[12]
Security Service Challenge level 1 (SSC_1) challenges the Workload Management System (WMS) on the Grid: Resource Broker (RB) and
Compute Element (CE). The goal of the LCG/EGEE Security Service Challenge (SSC), is to investigate whether sufficient information
is available to be able conduct an audit trace as part of an incident response, and to ensure that appropriate communications channels
are available.

This document gives an overview of the gLite 3.0 middleware. It helps users to understand the building
blocks of the Grid and the available interfaces to the Grid services in order to run jobs and manage data.
This document is neither an administration nor a developer guide. It is addressed to WLCG/EGEE users and
site administrators who would like to work with the gLite middleware.
LCG-2-UserGuide
[16]
This document gives an overview of the main characteristics of the LCG-2 middleware, which is being
used for EGEE. It allows users to understand the building blocks and the available interfaces to the GRID
tools in order to run jobs and manage data. This document is neither an administration nor a developer guide.
It is addressed to users and site administrators of EGEE who would like to work with the LCG-2 Grid middleware.

fast method to install and configure the gLite middleware on the various node types (WN,UI, CE, SE ...).
LCG2-Manual-Upgrade
[18]
This document is addressed to Site Administrators in charge of middleware installation and configuration.

LCG2-Site-Setup
[19]
This document describes the process of setting up and registering a grid site using themiddleware packaged by LCG.
This middleware represents the current middleware stack used in the LCG-2 and EGEE production grid. This information
is relevant for site managers or sysadmins that want to setup a EGEE/LCG-2 production site or upgrade their site to the
latest release.
LCG2-Site-Testing
[20]
This is a collection of basic commands that can be run to test the correct setup of a site.These tests are not meant to
be a replacement of the test tools provided by LCG certification team. They are instad a collection of quick and non invasive
functional tests suitable to be run in order to be sure that the site configuration has been correctly performed. The tests in
this chapter should enable the site administrator to verify the basic functionality of the site.
LCG-Midleware-developers-guide
[21]
This document is a guide for anyone developing or modifying code for LCG. This guide is directly derived from the European Datagrid
Developer’s Guide. The LCG version differs to suit the requirements of LCG and is more concise. The main objective of this guide is to define
the procedures used by LCG for software development to ensure that the software produced meets quality required for a production system. This
guide focuses on the basics in order for it to be easily followed, flexible and applicable to other projects. This guide should also be an example
to anyone producing software for LCG demonstrates what is expected in matters of quality.
LFC-Administrator-Guide

High Energy Physics (NIKHEF).
R-GMA Server User Guide
[25]
The R-GMA server is a Java servlet-based web application which provides the Consumer, Producer,Registry and Schema services for the
R-GMA distributed information and monitoring system. The server is designed to be run within a servlet container such as Jakarta Tomcat.
Tomcat versions 4 and 5 have been tested, however other versions or other servlet containers may also work. This document describes the
servlet-based implementation of the R-GMA server.
R-GMA Command Line Tool
[26]
The R-GMA command line tool provides simple shell-like access to the R-GMA distributed information and monitoring system. R-GMA uses a
relational model to publish and query information using the SQL language. This document describes the R-GMA command line tool.
