EGI
Andrei

Xiaomei
- Phase out of VOMS to IAM – should be ~ready
GridPP:
Simon, Janusz, Daniela
- Fix for multi-VO metadata
Topics from GitHub/Discussions
only un-answered topics with discussion updates:
- wall clock – should be more or less answered
- [SOLVED] getProxyInfo to get group properties
DIRAC releases
- v8r0
- 8.0.49
- CHANGE: (#7702) HTCondorCE: UseSSLSubmission: use the generated proxy file for everything, no longer need to have certificate of user present on the server.
- NEW: (#7698) added possibility to specify UserEnvVariable (pilot option) at CE level
- CHANGE: (#7692) drop DIRAC_MYSQL_CONNECTION_GRACE_TIME and stalled connections reuse
- NEW: (#7691) fetch nickname attribute from IAM
- NEW: (#7683) InputDataAgent: new Option MultiVO, which makes the FileCatalog Query use the author of the DN, rather than the Host, to resolve MultiVO metadata correctly. Fixes #7681
- 8.0.49
DIRAC projects
DIRAC:
- from previous meeting “RFC” for how/what to use/put in CVMFS
- The connected PR is ready (only minor corrections might be added there)

Issues by milestone:
- v8.0:
- Little to no movement (at least for “old” tickets)
- v9.0:
- Elastic JobParameters improvements: PR created solved most of them
PRs discussed:
- [9.0] jobParametersDB improvements
- [9.0] Added index template for ElasticJobParametersDB
- [9.0] removal of outdated code removes the
Optimizermodule – anyone ever used it in the extension?- no answer…
DiracX:
- Loris DiracX-Web extensions
- Slides presented (added to the agendas)
- In general, approved the work. Several comments, basic summary:
- even if the components library might be able to run on not only NextJS, we should be careful: we want to support only NextJS
- the less, the better – we will have to maintain the in the future.
- We do not have to use the npm index, but simply store on GitHub (check if it is possible)

Next Dirac Users’ Workshop: https://indico.cern.ch/e/duw11 – maybe could start one day earlier.
- André Talked with COMPASS/Amber, they are interested to have a look at DIRAC for their production system after the summer (September)
- Lyon WS: participants liked it, found it very useful, even Daniela!
- it was felt that it could have been longer, with even more time for hackathon/QA

LHCbDIRAC
- Federico fixed the
develbranch pipeline, will take care of rebasing the existing MRs. - BKK: The
getDescendantsimplementation got faster, but does not have tree-like implementation, so that will need to be done. Raja will test it soon as it is there. lbvoboccan be ditched (but volume saved)
There are minutes attached to this event.
