DESCRIPTION
bdii-update.conf
Configuration for bdii-update: a list of source URLs for resource information. Format: one unique name + one URL per line, shell-style commented. For a site-level BDII each name represents a grid resource provided by the site, for a top-level BDII each name represents a whole site.Typical content of a bdii-update.conf file for a site-level BDII:
CE ldap://ce.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid SE ldap://se.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid RB ldap://rb.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid
NOTE: when BDII_AUTO_UPDATE is set to yes in bdii.conf, this file will be periodically overwritten with the document referred to by the BDII_UPDATE_URL.
