LHCbDIRAC v8r0 - operational changes

Scripts

• The script dirac-dms-add-replication has been renamed dirac-dms-add-transformation

PIlot version

• The code for the pilot is new. Many of the changes are for implementing https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/wiki/Pilots-2.0:-generic,-configurable-pilots and https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/LHCBDIRAC-191
  • The pilot version is now in 2 places: the usual CS and in a freely accessible file that is for now in http://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/dist/DIRAC3/defaults/LHCb-pilot.json
  • There is a new script, in LHCbDIRAC only, named dirac-pilot-version that will upgrade the version in both locations, and that should be called every time a new version is installed.
  • The version within the file will be accessed by the new pilot every time the pilot version can't be known in advance. This is the case for IAAS and IAAC types of resources.

MCSimulation requests

• There is no more need to test by hand MC productions: everything is done at submission time, where the MC transformation will be set in "Testing" status, and 20 jobs will be submitted to the DIRAC.Testing.ch site (500 events each). Details are in https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/LHCBDIRAC-301
  • The agent to monitor is MCSimulationTestingAgent (in TransformationSystem)
  • GAUSSHIST are also produced during this phase
