1. Production Status Report
- Action(01) - ProcDB clean-up
Nobody was available to comment further on this action.
- Action(07) - Prototype Bookkeeping
Zoltan is trying to synchronise the two Bookkeeping DBs and has an agent in place to convey new records to the new
Bookkeeping. Some files have missing ancestors in the new bookkeeping but the agents is resolving this problem.
Stuart requested an interface to track productions e.g. allowing the number of events to be tracked in real time.
3M extra events were produced in DIRAC2 for production 2146, the additional events should be cleaned from the
catalogs and the files removed. ( ACTION: Marianne )
Stuart reported that several updates were made to the workflows to support DC06 activities (see ELOG entry).
Productions 37 and 38 were created in DIRAC3 for the following requests from the CP WG:
- Event Type = 13144002 , ie. Bs_Jpsiphi,mm=CPV,DecProdCut (5 million events)
- Event type = 13164001 , ie. Bs_D0phi,Kpi=DecProdCut (100k events)
Cedric submitted 15 GGUS tickets and for the sites affected by the shared area corruptions and people are responding
quickly. GridKa was found to be one of the affected sites and the same procedure will be followed there.
2. DIRAC3 Tasks
The testing of reconstruction and stripping is ongoing and data still cannot be staged at NIKHEF with the latest gfal
version (1.10.15). Nick agreed to pursue this issue with Ron / Jeff.
Ricardo reported that the development version of DIRAC with the new proxy infrastructure is almost ready to go.
There is an outstanding issue of proxies becoming mixed in the gLite WMS affecting the retrieval of the outputs.
Recent instabilities of the MyProxy server should be reported via a GGUS ticket.
Stuart mentioned that the SAM test suite is being rewritten in DIRAC3 and this work is ongoing.
The list of VO-box ports to be opened on the new machines was conveyed to IT.
3. AOB
It was agreed to move to the new meeting structure next week (Monday / Thursday at 16:00). Vladimir is the Grid
Operator On Duty (GOOD) for the coming weeks and Cedric is this week's Production Shifter.
