        Goals & Metrics for Data Taking Readiness "Challenge"
        • Service validation if software is changed/upgraded
        • Specific tests (e.g. throughput) to ensure that no problems have been introduced
        • Tests of functions not yet tested (e.g. Reprocessing/data recall at Tier 1s)

        • “Simulated” downtime of 1-3 Tier1s for up to – or exceeding – 5 days (window?) to understand how system handles export including recall from tape
        • Scheduled(?) recovery from power-outages
        • Extensive concurrent batch load – do shares match expectations?
        • Extensive overlapping “functional blocks” – concurrent production & analysis activities
        • Reprocessing and analysis use cases (Tier1 & Tier2) and conditions "DB" load - validation of current deployment(s)
        • Tape rates - can sites support concurrent tape rates needed by all VOs it supports concurrently?

        • Oracle 11g release 2
