Four APFv2 factories are operating at CERN.
Factory queue configuration is generated from AGIS and documented on the AMOD twiki.
clouds are asked to confirm/update the queue info on AGIS
Initially each factory served all sites but load issues were seen, probably a condor issue, so the configs were split with across the factories. ie. some clouds on one factory, some on others. Things seem stable now.
probably the load is due to having more queues. e.g. analysis queues are associated with more CEs now with AGIS than before in the factory config
With the current configuration, there is no redundancy for some sites where no cloud-specific factories are serving.
it should be possible to have each site served by at least 2 machines.
There will be a new release of APFv2 next week which we'll roll out in due course. It has minor bugs fixes, a new ARC plugin, and improved monitoring.
There was a question about any difference in behavior between old and new factories. Different numbers of idle/running have been observed
the algorithm is different

- Current situation on submitted tasks
- MC12 AF-II production workflow -- simul.HITS written into TAPE without merge

Slides
Current situation on tasks
larger tasks have been submitted, hoping the sites being filled for ~month
Workflow of MC12 AF-II
the output of 'simul' jobs are directly sent to T1_MCTAPE
cf. in mc11, the output was sent to T1_DATADISK and then merged before being sent to T1_MCTAPE
ND: when only AF-II was running, the dcache pool was occupied by the slow transfers from specific sites. In the end it was not a big trouble.
The other T1s are to be asked if they observe similar issues.
