What is the URL syntax understood by this plug-in ?
The URL must be: 
bes-unicore://<HOSTNAME>[:<PORT>]/<TARGET>/services/BESFactory[?res=<RESOURCE>]
Where:
    <HOSTNAME> is the name of the host running the BES Unicore6 service,
    <PORT> is 8080 by default,
    <TARGET> is the name of the site (e.g. "DEMO-SITE"),
    <RESOURCE> is the name of the resource (by default "default_bes_factory")

What UNICORE server is compatible with this plugin ?
The bes-unicore has been tested against UNICORE-6.4.0 and UNICORE-6.4.1. Before startup, the 'default_storage' resource needs to be started: in the file 
unicorex/conf/uas.config
modify the variable: 
uas.onstartup
to add the following service: 
de.fzj.unicore.uas.util.CreateSMSOnStartup \
With UNICORE-6.4.0, the BES service is not started by default. Modify the variable: 
uas.onstartup
to add the following service: 
de.fzj.unicore.uas.util.CreateSMSOnStartup \
You do not need to do this with UNICORE-6.4.1 as the BES service is started by default. The internal UNICORE server contains a bug when building its own wrapper script. To fix the bug, change in the file 
unicore/conf/simpleidb
the SHELL variable '$EXECUTABLE' into '$UC_EXECUTABLE' in the section of "Custom executable". If this section does not exist, jobs with custom executable files will probably fail.
