(109) - 14/09/08 - Matvey,Andrew - Expose DataLogging interface on the web page
(111) - 14/09/08 - Philippe,Alexei,Andrei - Productions with file merging implementation
(112) - 21/10/08 - Roberto, Marcos - Demonstrate benefits of the Logger service with a working example
(113) - 21/10/08 - Ricardo, Adri - Document the CS procedures for both the mechanism to define authorization rules in DIRAC and also the current group properties
(115) - 21/10/08 - Vladimir - Update SAM Agent to monitor and manage submitted jobs and publish results for faulty CEs to the SAM DB
Update on ongoing actions:
(07) - Several bug fixes in the GUI allow now to use it for the real work. The fixes will be available
in the coming v0r4p1 release. genCatalog functionality implementation is to be defined together
with Stuart. Thorough checks that the old bookkeeping is not used in the DIRAC3 are to be done
(111) - Action point reopened with the emphasis on the implementation
(114) - closed
1. Production operations
Smooth running of the min-bias FEST production. Up to 10K concurrent jobs over the weekend.
Problems observed:
- ~6% of stalled jobs in different activities ( user and production ) on various sites. The
most likely reason is pilots killed by the CPU limit - to be checked.
- CS master stopped on Sunday, restarted by Ricardo. The reasons to be investigated, in particular
the behaviour of slaves potentialy refusing to serve obsoleted information.
2. DIRAC3 tasks
v4r0p1 release will contain the fixes in the Bookkeeping ( client GUI ), Accounting (bug fixes)
and WMS ( partitioned Sandbox ).
3. AOB
Reminder to upload the CHEP 2009 abstracts to the dedicated Indico page.
