| | 410 | QWG Templates support configuration of all types of BDII : |
| | 411 | * Top-level BDII (default type) : use a central location to get their data (all BDIIs use the same source). This central location contains information about all sites registered in the GOC DB. Use of FCR (Freedom of Choice) enabled by default. |
| | 412 | * Site BDII : BDII in charge of collecting information about site resources. Support the concept of sub-site BDII (hierarchy of BDII to collect site information). |
| | 413 | * Resource BDII : used in replacement of Globus MDS on some resources (e.g. DPM). |
| | 414 | |
| | 415 | When configuring BDII on a machine, the following variables can be used (in the machine profile or in a site specific template) to tune the configuration : |
| | 416 | * BDII_TYPE : can be `resource`, `site`, `top`. `top` is the default. |
| | 417 | * BDII_SUBSITE : name of the BDII sub-site. Ignored on any BDII except `site`. Must be empty for the main site BDII (default) or defined to the sub-site name if this is a subsite BDII. |
| | 418 | * BDII_USE_FCR : set to false to disable use of FCR (Freedom of Choice) on top-level BDII or to true to force its use on other BDII types. |
| | 419 | * BDII_FCR_URL : use a non standard source for FCR. |
