1. New software version available and at this moment, in installation phase in all sites. 2. As soon as all sites are well configured, the production will begin (this week). The sites will enter production as soon as they are configured, thus providing a natural ramp-up of the number of active CPUs. 3. In parallel, Alice ready to perform few number of transfers among T0 and all T1 which have given positive answers to this operation. 4. Alice working on an official request to include xrootd into the standard SE.

CMS would like to congratulate the service challenge on the excellent disk to disk rate in the latest throughput phase. While production transfers for the old Event data model (EDM) data are likely to ramp down as the second volume of the computing TDR is finished, CMS will continue to exercise the SRM interface at CERN. We would like to ensure that the service improvement developed in the service challenges works its way into the production infrastructure. The testing on the PPS service improved last week, but we are still working to submit simple CMS jobs. Scale testing has not started. The FNAL site has applied for PPS inclusion. Fermilab hosts large samples of old EDM data and has small samples of new data in the storage system. FNAL as a PPS site would allow CMS another site to test applications that access real data in the storage system. CMS is developing a plan for site validation in preparation for a computing model functionality test during the first two weeks of May. Details are being put on the CMS Integration program TWIKI (https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/SWIntegration)

We are waiting for the UKI report about their experiences with TPM to be able to comment on it.
