Site Issues that affected workflows

* Xavier - good job going through the sites with issues and working with the site support team! * We need to get the EU operators working closer with the EU site support team. Right now the EU site support team is still on a steep learning curve but we aren't going to get them ramped up unless we get them working!

Workflows

Monte Carlo

• Issues when getting PhEDEx subscriptions.
• Workflows stuck with no failure info BTV-Fall13: https://cmslogbook.cern.ch/elog/Workflow+processing/11371. Probably filter issues. * This week task is to collect logs.
• Failing ACDC's
• WF's announced with ACDC's running: https://cmslogbook.cern.ch/elog/Workflow+processing/11061

ReDigi

• Config issues causing 100% failure rates: https://cmslogbook.cern.ch/elog/Workflow+processing/11411

Reprocessing

• Almost all done: https://cmslogbook.cern.ch/elog/Workflow+processing/11390

Workload Summary/Problems in the config file

• Workload Summary in config file pointing to local couch. 11357
• https://cmslogbook.cern.ch/elog/Workflow+processing/11418
• Basic summary of issue:
  • There are duplicate config (one of which is not used)
  • https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/WMAgentDeployment - need to be updated (look elog above)
  • Seangchan/Luis need to clean up WMAgentConfig.py and wmagent-mod-config and deployment script.
  • Currently the instructions for deployment are to copy the old config file, why don't we have a good config file in the agent so we are not copying things around. This seems dangerous.

AOB

• Dashboard Alarms (Adli and Julian working on it) 40%
• Site status script, tested on vocms201. Successful for now, this week is the migration for vocms216 and vocms85.
