0. Ongoing Action List

Updated in Savannah task list.

1. Production Issues

Andrei commented that should be a way to extend MC production automatically, so that enough events are generated.

2. DIRAC Release Update

A number of new functionalities are ready and will go in v5r6. Developors pleas start to tag your respective systems.

3. DIRAC Tasks

- Infrastructure monitoring (SAM,SLS,Dashboard)
Migration of SAM tests to NAGIOS is ongoing. For the time being, there are no consumer for this probes. The plan is to complete the migration at the end of the month. OPS SAM will be completely migrated to NAGIOS by the end of the summer. There are no strict contraints for VOs.
The SAM test for the shared area has been modified to account also degradation (like is the case of GridKA).
- WMS status
New "Holding" status.
The idea to throttle submission based on certain criteria will need to be dicussed also.
- Production Management status
Few things already added in Savannah tickets.
- Services deployment ( hardware, configuration )
3 new machines have been requested by Joel.
- Documentation
Joel used Doxygen to make a web page for documenting the code. The use of Sphinx is also in test, but a complete modification of the way documentation is produced and exposed still have to be done.
 

09:30 → 10:00 Ongoing actions

The task list is available via the Savannah DIRAC group ( Task List ). If you are not already registered please do so at the Savannah page. In order to streamline the time spent during PASTE on the actions list only tasks in the status 'ToBeDiscussed' will be discussed there. In case some actions fall by the wayside they will automatically be updated to this status. Therefore the action assignees should take care to update this. For ongoing actions it is advantageous to report any progress in the Savannah tasks each week.
