- 14.2.0 release to be used for FDR-2 is almost there.
- SLAC subscribes to all AOD and all DPD data
Tier-2 Hardware:
- 5 Thumpers ATLAS Grid operation. 1 unit is having
problem, maybe due to harmonics problem in power.
Local ATLAS computing resources:
- Wei proposed a new RHEL4 machine dedicated to user-
friendly interface to xrood for local users. Peter will
look into purchasing a new server. In the meantime
Wei will convert atl-prod01 to zatl-prod01.

=============
Attendance: Chuck, Randy, Wei, Steffen, Peter, Charlie
Operations:
- Very long GRID jobs are in the queue with limited
N_jobs per user in xxl queue. They appear to be
generating heavy ion collisions. Wei will look into
increasing the quota. A priori, there is no way to
find out what type of MC or analysis jobs are submitted.
- Some issues with new jobs trying to access the Oracle
database at BNL.
FDR-2:
- After some delays, raw data streams were successfully
sent to Tier-1 sites.
- Prompt reconstruction to ESD and AOD successful.
- Bulk processing however was halted, as a bug was found
in the inner detector hit merging. Yes, somebody put in
a new code, between the fast stream and bulk processing...
- Reprocessed ESD/AOD will be sent out later this week.
AOD:
- None
