Hi Steve,
The broker does not automatically set LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS, but it can be
specified in the JDL in the same way as any environment variable.
(Although there is some issue then that csh shells may trigger souring of
profile.d/ scripts which reset it).
Last year we did try setting LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS automatically, for a few
weeks, but at the time this caused problems with the loading of the BDII -
which by definition was also the one that the RB was using for matchmaking
queries.
There aren't any plans to do anything about this in the near future - do
you have a particular reason for asking now?
Yours,
David
