• DC2 pipeline complete, but working with CM team to standardise the data return process
  • The script to return data is hard-coded in places, which all rely on URI, which is currently incorrect
    • Working on moving data to the correct location now
    • Approx 4 million files 
    • writing a script to use multiprocessing with Python to move data
• Will run DC2 again with the weekly code from week 18 from Friday (1st May)
  • And will continue to run every other week going forwards to assist with site and code base testing and troubleshooting
• After DC2 data return process complete will work on getting the RC2 data registered in a butler repository for smaller test but with pre-curser data
• LSST want to use a UK FTS for European transfers, so will want to either use SKA FTS or LCGFTS - or at least use it for fail over
  • Not using a FTS for a time and wanting to use it for failover could lead to further failures
  • Do ATLAS and CMS use a single central FTS for all transfers or do they also use geographically closest ones?
    • From talking to other devs Rucio currently uses only the FTS related to the destination
