Experiment problems/issues (20')     
Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO
- LHCb
- CMS

From WLCG update:
"    * Job processing: CSA07 (GEN-SIM) pre-Production so far: 78.5M events(Minbias: 24M, PH soup: 45.9M events, DPG: 8.5M events), at a steady rate of ~47M events/month (w/o Minbias). CSA07 (GEN-SIM) left-overs: 37.6M events; i.e. assuming same production rate as so far, < 1 month to finish the total pre-CSA07 production. --- Castor@CERN issues seen during T0 tests are being addressed.
    * Data Transfers: "production" transfers continue: among 47GEN-SIM workflows, 28 are done but only 21 DIGI-RECO workflows ready due to data transfer tails to T1s: being debugged. --- "Test" transfers: the Debugging DataTranfers (DDT) program improved already the number of commissioned links to be given to Data Operations: from 11 (previous weekly report) to 35 (lastweek)."

Items from Ops meeting
- Request from CERN PPS site to publish GStat test results to SAM. This will be enabled today. 
- #   Germany-Switzerland ROC: DESY reported: After installation of gLite production upgrade 27 the user mapping on the dcache_SE changed when using the kpwd mechanism. The reason is the introduction of a new grid-mapfile-to-kpwd converter script in the RPM d-cache-lcg-6.2.0-1. Now sgm/prd users are mapped to sgm/prd accounts although they were previously mapped to the first VO poolaccount. Unfortunately we did not find anything in the release nodes. Other sites should be warned.
# Germany-Switzerland ROC: DESY reported: Having installed SL4 WNs with gLite 3.1, we see that some rpms are missing. Unfortunately, these provide essential user utils like lcg-infosites. Is this planned by the Middleware group? Have they made an announcement? Are there plans to provide these RPMs for the gLite 3.1 version on the SL4 WNs? 
- SEE ROC will take gLite-CE out of production due to stability concerns

Revisit - killing jobs discussion! (Item from 17th July meeting) (15')     
- Taking forward proposals to the TCG. How should jobs be killed such that useful information is sent to users.
- Results from other sites examining CPU/WALL time tails

AOB (5')     
- Stability of GridLoad tool
- Grieg's observation re. failed SAM tests and use of ops groups
- T2Cs - please get sites to check their SAM history http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/SAM_availability:_May-July_2007. Good to see many sites have already responded to the request last week.
