To	South East Europe	CERN

• One Russian site not responding reported by the Russian ROC. No one from Russia present.

PPS Reports

• See description on agenda.
• OpsMeetingPps
• Question: Are there CREAM CE tests in SAM for PPS testing. Yes we envisage this, in fact lcg-ce tests can just be used but a new node type will be declared.

gLite Release News

• Hopefully a new release due in a couple of days or so.

EGEE Items From ROC Reports

France ROC, IN2P3-CC T1

How to publish CE authorization restriction for a VO? We restricted the access to production role for CMS and Atlas on our T1. But is it possible to publish this in order to prevent job submission from unauthorized people ?

• GGUS:36373

Assigned to	Due date	Description	State	Closed	Notify
SteveTraylen	2008-06-18	Check GGUS:36373 concerning advertising queues for production roles only. July 2nd, got in touch with the job priorities work group to see if they can give a good example of what should be done. July 7th, there is now a massive thread which does contain the answer. The answer must be extracted and documented next. July16th. I've now written How_to_publish_queues_with_access_restricted_to_a_FQAN but it is unclear to me what is wanted from the tickets that are assigned to me. *Update 21/7/08* Now that Wiki page exists, Steve would like to close this item. Any problems should result in new tickets!	openclosed	2008-07-21		edit

SW Europe ROC, PIC

Strange behavior of the SAM tests this weekend. Two SAM tests where send to the CEs within 10 minutes. The first was OK, the second failed without an obvious reason. This tests where executed at the end of a period where when the SRM tests were marked gray at GRIDVIEW. * No answer at the moment come back with response next week. * Updates reported at end of the meeting, it looks like "unspecified grid manager errors" just at PIC rather that a global problem.

Drop of Support for Plain Proxies

Only VOMS proxies will be supported after Wednesday 18th June. Please report any concerns about this to the email address on the agenda.

gLite 3.1 MyProxy

Released 2 weeks ago, know problem with starting service non-interactive shell. A solution is known and VDT will be supply new libs. See agenda for details.

ATLAS Service

ATLAS asked about if availability could be recalculated as discussed last week. This will be followed up after this meeting.

ALICE Service

Summary

• Again sites asking how to publish ACBRs for Role only access to production queues, it seems there are no clear concise instructions.
