Grid

GRACE Application relies on INFN-GRID release,  currently version 2.2.0 (fully compatible with LCG 2.2.0).
GRACE Application has to be installed on a Grid User-Interface node, where an account for <UIuser> needs to be created. It is required to install  a  valid "GILDA user certificate" for GRACE Application as  <UIuser> certificate on the UI account where GRACE application will be installed . 
For information on how to get such certificate, please contact  GRACE support.

Check if  the testbed is working by submitting a job from the console:

	%>edg-job-submit  -o  jobid  hostname.jdl
	%>edg-job-status  -i  jobid

Repeat this command until the status becomes 'done'

%>edg-job-get-output  -i  jobid

Look at the files hostname.out, hostname.err and check if the hostname looks right or any error is returned.
