This is the sixth and last ACS development to be used in Cycle 9. Below is the list of addressed tickets.
Summary of Changes
- Integrate BulkData OpenDDS implementation from the community
- Installation of newer OpenDDS version
- Compatibility fixes for acsncdds
- Integration of BulkDataNT DDS and multicast support implementation
- Several New Makefile improvements in collaboration with CONTROL adoption
- Java 17 compatibility for ACS
- Java 11 compatibility is not affected and is still the official version of ACS
- Long standing issue with eventGUI buttons "greyed out" was fixed
- PyOpenSSL upgraded to latest version to prevent security warnings on using Pip
- Added RepeatGuard for "Data lost from buffer" when there are problems flushing out monitoring data from collectors
- Due to huge amount of logs generated from this on generalized problems, it was set to 30 minutes
- To avoid bursts of logs on the same "second" +-30 seconds of random delay was added to the repeat guard
- Added some Python dependencies needed since 2021OCT for some secondary scripts
- Helper script was created to analyze Python and Java dependencies for obsolescence management
- Compares installation file (requirements or pom) with installed artifacts and available versions on the remote repository (pip or mvn)
- Analyzes content on confluence pages' tables
- Prepares a report: What to change in confluence pages, what can be upgraded, etc.
