(27) - 08/01/08 - Andrew - Backup DMS services on lxgate34 to allow migration to SLC4, port IntegrityDB to DIRAC3
(55) - 08/04/08 - Marianne - Recover data that failed to be registered in the BK DB
(57) - 17/06/08 - Roberto - define the LHCb Workflow Map skeletons
(00) - 10/06/08 - DIRAC developers - DIRAC3 (ongoing)
Closed actions: (04) - RAL migration
(56) - Skeleton Production Manager guide is provided
Ongoing actions:
(27) - Still 20K entries left in the DIRAC2 Integrity DB. Andrew will go
through those and will finally close this DB instance.
1. CCRC operations
The current goal of getting the Production DIRAC3 system on the volhcb01
installed and operational by Thursday 19th June is confirmed by Andrei.
Ricardo is preparing tools for a seamless services instalation and software
updates on the production service machine.
2. Production operations status
Roland reported that some sites are failing MC productions and banned. Joel
will reinstall the software. Access to LogSE with Roland's credentials is
failing because of the wrong mapping in the SE gridmapfile (not using
VOMS for this access). Roberto will fix it.
Marianne continues to cleanup DC'04 data (~150TB to be cleaned). Fixing the
BK for missing registrations is ongoing.
3. Services map, Workflow map
Andrei reported about he meeting with Julia and Max about providing LHCb
Services Map and Workflow Map facilities. LHCb Services Map is already
providing useful information fed through SAM DB and SLS systems with the
Grid Services ad DIRAC services views. For the Workflow Map Max will provide
instructions how to set up the initial skeleton to Roberto and will authorize
him to use Grid Map authoring to populate it with LHCb data and links to the
LHCb monitoing pages (ACTION: Roberto).
A discussion about the possibility to use the SAM DB visualization tools
developed by the Dashboard project. Roberto will provide the selection
criteria to choose graphical presentations of the SAM DB data and will
pass them to Matvey to incorporate into the DIRAC monitoring pages.
4. DIRAC tasks
Marcos reported on the SysLogging clean up for the non nicely written messages
that should be fixed by the developers. An agent which will produce a summary
of the most frequent messages will be running permanently.
