RE: Federated DB ID Allocation (http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/RCF/Software/Commercial/Obj

["Doug Olson" <dlolson@lbl.gov>]

Hi Ed,

I believe RD45 is trying to coordinate the world-wide
usage of FDID's.
As for the GC folks, I rather like Dave Z's model
of having a setup.com script which defines
the environment for a federation and prints out
a message stating who is using it.  It is kind of
a low tech way to check out FDID's as you need them.
