Topics

1. News
   p17.03.01 was frozen on Saturday. Testing will start today. Optimistic estimate is that production certification starts on Thursday or Friday.
2. Status of Merge Certification of Sites
   
   • DØFarm: Production and merge done. Problems with certifying (see below).
   • WestGrid: Major downtime this week. Starting merge today to get at least partial results.
   • Lyon: Performing merge, initial try gave problem due to new mc_runjob release. SAM was trying to get files from lancester directly. We'll review the SAM station routing options. New retrying.
   • SAR: Performing merge (?).
   • GridKa: Performing initial production of unmerged TMBs.
   • Wisconsin: Performing production of unmerged TMBs. (Error recovery put on hold pending the resource negotiations)
   
   

   Deviations in overlay plots could be reduced to a single plot (when using "cat" as a merge programm). Comparison with copydoom merged fils shows more differences, but these might also be due to using --maxopt vs. default (--debug) versions.
   We will therefore reduce merge certification to checking only one merged file per site.

   David Lamb band Mike Hildreth are working to fix RecoCert in parallel.

3. JIM Deployment and Remote Setup
   • Prague: Anoop starts helping now that GridKa is fixed.
   • UK: IC: Firewall issues fixed. Writing batch adapter handler for sun grid engine. Frederic and Bimal working on it.
     Manchester: Worker nodes didn't know their fully qualified hostname.
   • CMS Farm: [SAM station is: cms-grid]
4. AOB:
   
   • Stuff discussed along the way:
     Production certification will also be modified wrt the way we create plots.
