Overview¶

This document contains information about the deployment, status of OpenAIRE2020 services and content, and the history of major modifications of the system hosted at ICM, Poland.

The official maintenance of the OpenAIRE2020 services began on January 1st, 2015 when the project started.

TODO: elaborate the following
The deliverable will consist in a high-level report on the status of

• OpenAIRE workflows (CNR),
• services (ICM),
• and Information Space (UNIBI).

Information Space¶

Brief description of the data model and status of content, i.e. numbers about data providers, their typology, publications, datasets, links... etc.

OpenAIRE workflows¶

The OpenAIRE aggregation system is based on the D-NET software toolkit. D-NET is a service-oriented framework specifically designed to support developers at constructing custom aggregative infrastructures in a cost-effective way. D-NET offers data management services capable of providing access to different kinds of external data sources, storing and processing information objects of any data models, converting them into common formats, and exposing information objects to third-party applications through a number of standard access API. Most importantly, D-NET offers infrastructure enabling services that facilitate the construction of domain-specific aggregative infrastructures by selecting and configuring the needed services and easily combining them to form autonomic data processing workflows.

The Enabling Layer contains the Services supporting the application framework. These provide functionalities such as Service registration, discovery, subscription and notification and data transfer mechanisms through ResultSet Services. Most importantly, these Services are configured to orchestrate Services of other layers to fulfil the OpenAIRE specific requirements and implement the OpenAIRE workflows.

Services¶

How the system is maintained

Software life-cycle¶

D-NET services¶

The D-NET services are shipped as web applications and deployed on the tomcat application server (v7.0.52) on three distinct systems: dev, beta, production. To support the deployment process all the software artifacts are automatically built on a continuous integration system (Jenkins) and hosted on a dedicated maven repository (nexus), while webapp builds are made available via http server. The mentioned tools supporting the software lifecycle are maintained by CNR.

The D-NET services deployment is performed in subsequent stages:

• The development infrastructure plays the role of test bench for the integration of the software developed by different institutions. It is maintained by CNR and runs mostly un-released code and contains mock or subsets of the data available on the production system.
• The beta infrastructure runs only released code. It is maintained by ICM and consists of the final integration stage where all the system workflows are tested on the real data (not necessarily the same data as the production system) before making them available to the production system. Although the software running on the beta system is not yet production ready, its portal is publicly accessible in order to showcase new features and data.
• The production infrastructure is maintained by ICM and runs only code that was tested on the beta system.

D-NET backend services are packed in four different web applications, each of them running on a dedicated tomcat instance.

@Claudio: could you fill that in? Probably you can rely on http://wiki.openaire.eu/xwiki/bin/view/OpenAIREplus%20Specific/WP5%20Maintenance%20Report

Information Inference Service¶

Information Inference Service versioning and deployment is described on IIS versioning and deployment wiki page.

Portal¶

OpenAIRE portal is hosted at ICM. It uses Joomla! 3.6.2, a free dynamic portal engine and content management system (CMS).

The Joomla! depends on other upstream applications:

• Apache 2.4.7
• PHP 5.5.9
• MySQL 5.5.53
• OpenLDAP 2.4.31

Zenodo¶

Zenodo repository is deployed according to the process described at http://zenodo.readthedocs.io/projectlifecycle.html#release-process

Zenodo repository employs an instance of the Invenio software, developed by CERN.

@Lars: could you fill that in? You can do it in a similar way it was done in http://wiki.openaire.eu/xwiki/bin/view/Technical%20Specifications/Maintenance%20Report

Infrastructure services¶

Because OpenAIRE2020 services are a continuation and incremental extension of the services already present that resulted from OpenAIRE+ project, so they are still hosted on that same machines. More details are available at OpenAIRE+ WP5 Maintenance Report.

Hadoop clusters¶

DM hadoop cluster¶

CDH version: cdh4.3.1

IIS hadoop cluster¶

There were two IIS clusters deployed:

• old CDH4 IIS cluster, version cdh4.3.1, in operation until December 9, 2016
• new CDH5 IIS cluster deployed in OCEAN infrastructure supporting MRv2 on YARN, SPARK

CDH5 cluster version history:

• 5.5.2 deployment on March 22, 2016
• 5.5.2 -> 5.7.5 upgrade November 30, 2016
• 5.7.5 -> 5.9.0 upgrade December 8, 2016

Databases¶

database type	purpose	version
postgress	stats	9.1.23
postgress	DNet services	9.3.14
mongodb	DNet services	3.2.6
virtuoso	LOD	7.2

Piwik¶

Currently deployed Piwik version: 2.17.1, since December 6, 2016.

box.openaire.eu¶

Currently deployed OwnCloud instance version: 8.2.7, since October 19, 2016.

Incorporating resources from old CDH4 IIS cluster into existing DM CDH4 cluster¶

@Paweł: are you aware of any other major modifications regarding other services such as new portal version etc?

System downtimes¶

@Paweł: could you fill that in? We could create dedicated with entry similar to:
http://wiki.openaire.eu/xwiki/bin/view/OpenAIREplus%20Specific/History%20of%20system%20outages
and link it here.
