0. Ongoing Action List
Updated in Savannah task list.
It has been decided that, since there are a number of (possibly) old tasks, to ask all the developers to review the tasks this week: hopefully the next PASTE we'll have less than ~40 tasks.
1. Production Issues
DIRAC CREAM submission: in testing in certification. CNAF is being used for the tests.
Philippe suggested to have an accounting "per pilot". Ricardo to follow.
For some times, we'll have a hybrid system, where we directly submit to CREAM CEs and still use the WMS to submit to the LCG CEs.
Suggestions to use Squid+FronTier for the ConditionsDB: PIC will set up a squid server, and Flavia Donno will help in setting up FronTier. On our side, Roberto and Elisa will follow.
2. DIRAC Release Update
Pre-release in certification, it includes latest bug fix from Andrew. Tests are still not running.
The transformation production system has been reshuffled: mess was cleaned up, the whole structure of the the code has made simpler.
3. DIRAC Tasks
- Infrastructure monitoring (SAM,SLS,Dashboard)
SLS reviewed: DIRAC services monitoring still not working perfectly but proven to be useful.
- Framework status
Minor fixes
- Bookkeeping status
New branch developed. Timescale is not clear.
- DMS status
Elisa will now follow up DMS devs.
- Production Management status
Reshuffled. Alexey updated agents to use the new Bookkeeping API. Still some work to do, needs coordination with Zoltan.
- Web Portal
New release will include a new tag of the web portal.
- Documentation
Quite advanced with the user guide. The documentation will be in the web portal menu from the next release.
