Hi David, To answer your first question: Yes, lcg-ls -l will still be available, *unless* you are running on a SL7 node. Having said this, sites shouldn't enable a VO on their SL7 queues without checking with the VO first. We think we have now worked out a fix for the gfal-ls issues, Simon is about to write an 'angry systemmamanger email(TM)' to the dirac developers. On that note, it might be worth waiting for this fix to go into the dirac UI before upgrading. I'll let the list know. Regards, Daniela On 4 May 2017 at 15:45, David Auty <auty@ualberta.ca> wrote:
Hi Daniela
So just to check as long as we update our Dirac UI we don't need to change our code. So if we have something like lcg-ls -l <url> we don't have to find the gfal equivalent.
Hi Stephen
Can you direct me to a good page that has gfal equivalents of lcg functions as at the moment I am having to look at many pages and I'm still not able to find all the equivalent functions in gfal (see above example).

Note that if you are using lcgtools explicitly within your jobs and they run at SL6 sites, these are still available, but your file transfers within dirac will be handled by gfal.
It might be good to ask job submitters to switch to GFAL tools within their jobs soonish. Since SL6 sites will dwindle soon, perhaps? GFAL tools should be already working OK on SL6 gridsites. So the same jobs could run (perhaps) on 7 clusters if by chance they land there.
We'll talk at Ops Meeting about the transition I hope .... in any case, if you need a version 7 test cluster, you can use hepgrid5.ph.liv.ac.uk, which is an SL6 ARC CE fronting a mini-cluster (48 slots) with version 7 workernodes. I just thought I'd mention it. ILC jobs jobs are running on it now, so they are getting a bit of extra grid time while the going is good! But other VO job submitters could test their set-ups on it if they wish.
Cheers,
Ste
