v7 to v8: Do we need ProxyRenewalAgent ?

[marianne013]

Hi,

The upgrade instructions in the Wiki state:
The new agent Framework/ProxyRenewalAgent has to be installed. The agent Framework/MyProxyRenewalAgent is instead discontinued and should be removed (its functionalities are part of ProxyRenewalAgent).
We don't have MyProxyRenewalAgent installed, but from the phrasing it's not clear whether ProxyRenewalAgent has to be installed regardless.

Cheers,
Daniela

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, you need to install ProxyRenewalAgent nonetheless. I will amend now the wiki.

Thanks. Looking at the code, it does tokens as well ?

[fstagni]

Those would be the "DIRAC tokens" which have nothing to do with the OAuth2 tokens (it is a functionality added long time ago that could probably be removed). It was only "just in case"

While I have your attention:
The following services can be uninstalled:

Framework/Monitoring
Framework/Plotting

As far as I can tell they are gone in v8 and have to be uninstalled ?

[fstagni]

Correct. Fixing that too, thanks for the doc review.
