Domenico Vicinanza February, 2007 Major work for EUMEDGRID; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - SAM Server maintainance for the EUMEDGRID installation in Malta. - SAM Client installation and configuration for EUMEDGRID in Cyprus. - Moving SAM Client from Greece to Cyprus. - Majow work as responsible for the EUMEDGRID Demo at the First Year Review in Madrid (Feb. 27th-28th, 2007): -- Preparing EUMEDGRID infrastructure: deployment of the chosen applications for the DEMO: CODESA-3D (an application simulating the flux of underground waters with complex numerical models and monte carlo) and Archaeogrid (actually MM5V3 and NCARG packages, a weather forecasting program with visualizer) -- Follow up of the installation of the additional packages required by CODESA-3D and MM5V3 on the EUMEDGRID sites -- Follow up the installation and configuration of a GENIUS (a web portal developed by INFN-NICE srl) portal in Cyprus which will be used during the Demo customizing it to support the two selected applications Major work for <GD-OPS; GD-ITR>; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - SAM Test integration Worked supporting ALICE VO to integrate new VOBOX tests for the ALICE Experiment. ALICE, through the interface of Patricia Mendez Lorenzo, asked me (as member of the SAM Team) to integrate 7 VOBOX tests they were regularly running as standalone scripts on an ALICE UI. (https://lxb6114.cern.ch/sam/sam.py?sensors=VOBOX&regions=Default&vo=alice&order=SiteName&funct=ShowSensorTests). I used a new integration technique, which was successfully used for the first time in a real situation. The tests were launched as script on an ALICE UI, where a SAM client (standard installation) has been installed and configured and it has been used the SAM publishing environment only.
