This chapter describes how to configure the GLUE information provider supplied with dCache so it provides the correct information. This is necessary so that WLCG infrastructure (such as FTS) and clients using WLCG tools can correctly use the dCache instance.

The process is designed to be the minimum overhead so it can easily be performed manually; however, you may choose to use an automatic configuration tool, such as YAIM.

Warning

Please be aware that changing information provider may result in a brief interruption to published information. This may have an adverse affect on client software that make use of this information.
