2. Reassignment of priority datasets
   A block of Manchester datasets will be reassinged to Westgrid/Lyon and a block of Imperial datasets will be reassigned Westgrid/Lyon.
3. Bugfixes to August JIM release cut
   There are some minor bug-fixes that may be used.
   • jim_advertise v1_4_7 (was v1_4_6): bug fix for the throttling of grid job submission to the execution site. The product must be upgraded to the current version in order to have the feature work.
   • sam_client v1_0_58 (was v1_0_54): The web page shuold be updated from v1_0_56. Includes
   • jim_merge v1_18 (was v1_15): Run slower stricter tests if file is determined merged by less strict tests. Ignores the exception when file does not match pattern to extract file partition no.
   • sam_user_api v5_1_0_22 (was v5_1_0_19): fixed error message when timing out in sam get dataset (printed "minutes", instead of "seconds"). Other changes in montecarlo metadata: do not affect reprocessing. Optional upgrades (feature additions after the cut)
   • samgrid_util v2_0_11 (instead of v2_0_9): removes files in the durable location that are unknown to sam. Makes cleanup more flexible in preparation for mc file management. Add option --dry-run. samgrid_util v2_0_12: this will put a guard on user mistakes when specifying the location of the durable location.

   It was agreed to cut a new SAMGrid release during this week which will contain these bug-fixes and which will also allow MC production.

     • Dugans submission site sent 60000 emails, which needs to be stopped.

     The SamGrid team will look into both. Dugan will upgrade to the latest jim_merge.
