lsst-ctrl-bps-panda v24.0.0 (2022-08-29)

New Features

• This package has been extracted from lsst_ctrl_bps into a standalone package to make it easier to manage development of the PanDA plugin. (DM-33521)

• Introduced a new parameter dockerImageLocation in the PanDA IDF configuration yaml file to pull lsst release containers from GAR (Google Artifact Registry). This parameter is trailed with '/', so it could be used in sw_image path in the following example. And the sw_image will still refer to the Docker hub, if the parameter dockerImageLocation is empty or not defined, to make the sw_image backward compatible with previous PanDA IDF configuration yaml files.

  In the user bps submission yaml file, just prepend this parameter to the sw_image path, that is:

  sw_image: "{dockerImageLocation}lsstsqre/centos:7-stack-lsst_distrib-w_2022_05"
  

  Please note that there is no extra character(s) between {dockerImageLocation} and lsstsqre.

  In case you have to use images from the Docker hub instead, you just take out the prefix {dockerImageLocation} in the path, that is:

  sw_image: "lsstsqre/centos:7-stack-lsst_distrib-w_2022_05" (`DM-32992 <https://rubinobs.atlassian.net/browse/DM-32992>`_)

• • PanDA cloud was mapped from BPS compute site, fixed it.

  • Pass BPS cloud to PanDA cloud.

  • Add supports for task priority, vo, working group, prodSourceLabel. (DM-33889)

• Remove iddsServer from bps_idf.yml, to use the iDDS server defined in the PanDA relay service.

  Remove IDDS_CONFIG requirements (requiring idds version 0.10.6 and later). (DM-34106)
