Progress
- VO shiwa-workflow.eu now enabled in VAPOR. This second VO helps find a few bugs in the multi-VO management. This should be easier when opening to other VOs.
- Keep on the development of the handling of dark data and lost files: make a difference between LFC and SE files using SE and LFC file dumps, progress on web reports publication.
- Continue the investigation about high error rates of VAPOR's JobMonitor against the Nagios alarms as no significant decrease of the errors have been seen follow the fixing of several issues during the last periods).
- New issue found: JSAVA input/output files are not transfered properly on some computing elements. Under investigation.
Plans for next period
- Keep on the development of the handling of dark data and lost files: web reports, GridFTP access.
- Re-check the results of the JobMonitor against the Nagios alarms to see if JobMonitor does no longer fail where Nagios probes work (follow-up of the issue fixed during the last period).
Problems we encounter, but can solve
We cannot get sufficient information as to how to build the URL that allows to access a Storage Element with gsiftp protocol. This is needed to complete the feature about Dark data and lost files. It is surprisingly difficult to find out what information to use from a top BDII to build this URL. Action: we have discussions with GFAL2 API developers about this, but they not GridFTP experts. A discussion with some french site admins did not help much. Now going to GGUS: https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=101086
Problems and issues we need external help with
None.
