APEL
Plan to upgrade the APEL server in the end of February as have been forseen.
The problem reported by Maria (not able to send message to the testing server) is due to the change of the interface to AMS which does not accept tokens in the header of HTTP request. This happened with the upgrade if the ARGO messaging library to the latest version. Sites which use SSM won't see the problem, but AUDITOR does not use SSM. The change is required on the AMS side, Akessandro and Adrian will coordinate with them.
EGI portal
It was decided to postpone update of production infratructure to the latest version (supporting benchmarking tag) by one week, in order to perform better testing and avoid bad surprises.
Duscussed the topology problem. Julia pointed to the fact that having at least proper topology for T1 sites is urgent.
There are two new T1 sites
BEIJING-T1 belonging to CN-IHEP-T1 federation, it is serving LHCb experiment and is T1 only for LHCb
NCBJ-CIS belonging to PL-T1-NCBJ federation, supporting LHCb and CMS experiments, for LHCb it is T1 for CMS it is T2
Julia asked to make necessary changes in the portal DB ASAP
For synchronisation of the portal with GocDB and CRIC, portal development team needs more help. It was decided that Julia will have a dedicated meeting to explain info in the CRIC API and what has to be done.
Next meeting
Many people are not available next Friday. Julia and Josep (other people are welcome to joun if they are interested) will use usual slot for the topolgy discussion
Kind reminder:
APEL team will present at the WLCG Ops Coordination meeting on th 6th of March. Julia will send an agenda when it is ready.
