    933933 * `BDII_FCR_URL` : use a non standard source for FCR.

    935 Starting with QWG templates [milestone:gLite-3.0.2-13 gLite-3.0.2-13], all machine types publishing information into BDII (almost all except WN, UI and disk servers) are using a BDII configured as a ''resource BDII'' for this purpose. In addition all these machine types can also be configured as a [#siteBDII site]/[#subsiteBDII subsite] BDII by definining appropriate variable into node profile (`BDII_TYPE='site'` and if applicable `BDII_SUBSITE`).

    937937''Note : combined BDII used to be the default on LCG CE for backward compatibility but this is no longer the case. It is advised to run site BDII preferably on a dedicated machine. If this is not possible, choose any machine type but the CE as this machine can be very loaded and site BDII may become unresponsive with a lot of side effects.''

    941 A site BDII aggretates information published by several other BDIIs, typically resource BDIIs or subsite BDIIs. List of resources to aggregate are specified by the variable `BDII_URLS`. This variable is typically defined in site parameters, [source:templates/trunk/sites/example/site/site/glite/config.tpl site/glite/config.tpl], and is ignored on all nodes except a site (or combined) BDII.

    943943Variable `BDII_URLS` is a nlist of URLs corresponding to the resource BDII endpoints (urls) aggregated on the site BDII. The key is an arbitrary name (like `CE`, `DPM1`...) but must be unique and the value is the endpoint. See [source:templates/trunk/sites/example/site/site/glite/config.tpl site configuration] example.
     
    985985On machine types supporting it (e.g. UI, VOBOX, WN), you can configure a FTS client. Normally, to configure FTS client you only need to define variable `FTS_SERVER_HOST` to the name of your preferred FTS server (normally your ''closest T1'').
    986986
    987 To accomodate specific needs, there are 2 other variables whose default value should be appropriate :
     987To accommodate specific needs, there are 2 other variables whose default value should be appropriate :
    988988 * `FTS_SERVER_PORT` : port number used by FTS server. Default : 8443.
    989989 * `FTS_SERVER_TRANSFER_SERVICE_PATH : root path of transfer service on FTS server. This is used to build leftmost part of URLs related to FTS services. Default : `/glite-data-transfer-fts`.
