ATLAS SCCS Planning 15Nov2006
-----------------------------

  9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#

Present: Wei, Charlie, JohnB, Stephen, Bill, Booker, Len, Chuck

Agenda:

1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy

    The migration last Friday went quite well. The cleanup script also
    worked on Friday, but not on Tuesday. When it was tried today it
    did work, although ended up running two copies due to the first one
    taking too long to start on an overloaded machine. This messed up
    the transfer database, after recovering it things went back to
    normal.

    Some problems in the last days not related to the change.

    Su Dong had problems with dq2_get. Stephen upgrade the version in
    use at SLAC and hope it is solved.

    Stephen has been writing a page to tell users how to transfer
    datasets. The Oregon group is working on Taus and will be a good
    guinea pig. Currently transferring one dataset to make sure procedure
    works, will then put it in the hands of Oregon folk to test before
    making it generally available.

    Wei needs to be added to ATLAS VO;
    http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/twiki/bin/view/Support/HowToAtlasVO

    The failed transfers page shows that BNL SRM has lots of problems.

    We are running 102 jobs right now and the disk space has been
    increased to 2.3TB. Could have Ranger send warnings if this space
    gets low.
