2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. Progress Summary
2.2. Main Achievements
Glasgow gLite 3.1 upgrading continues apace - no site in the UK depends on a 3.1 service at this point. Tracking of this is on course get it all resolved by the September deadline. New VO (NA62) moved to production operation this quarter.|-
Manchester Alessandra has been an active member of the WLCG Operations TEG (Technical Evolution Group) whose mandate is to provide recommendations for the next 2-5 years on WLCG sites operations.
Alessandra's cooperation with DPM developers continues as part of the ATLAS testbed for development code, and her other DPM work:
Andrew has continued the design and development of the KeyDocs documentation monitoring system for GridPP national grid support activity.
The GridPP website with its wealth of documentation is maintained by Andrew in Manchester.
Andrew has worked with Robert Frank of NGS to re-integrate the NGS/GridPP VOMS service into the Tier-2 Centre in preparation for it being taken over by the HEP group with support from GridPP.
Andrew has visited CERN for a week for training to undertake LHCb grid ops shifts in the next quarter. He has also begun working with the ops team and LHCb DIRAC developers to produce site-orientated views of the LHCb job/site monitoring to make it easier for sites to resolve problems with LHCb jobs at each site
