EGEE Pre-Production Service Coordination:
==============================
2008-09-05: News about deployment of the CREAM CE (PATCH:1755).
The deployment was delayed because there are instances of the WMS
of unsupported version in production that can still accidentally match
the Cream CE and cause submission failure. The number of WMS potentially affected by
this issue has been estimated to be order of 4/5 by an analysis of the
information published. The list of sites that are publishing old version of WMS
running on SL3  has been forwarded to the ROCs for verification and corrections. The
extent of the issue seems to be anyway very limited and appropriate counter-measures are
being taken.

In addition to that, the proxy renewal mechanism is not working properly because
it required opening of ports on the WNs. Until these issues are fixed by an incoming
patch, Cream will be released with a GlueCEServiceState different from 'production'
and changed again later on. The release with the workaround that is currently in
certification can be expected in about 2 weeks

Operational Security
==============
The security incident affecting HEP sites (see report from 07 Aug) is still
being investigated by the EGEE OSCT and the relevant academic CSIRTs.

SAM.
=====
Production Releases:
On 2008-09-04, lcg-sam-client-1.2.4-1 and lcg-sam-client-sensors-1.4.5-3
were released to Production. Apart from bug fixes and improvements to Data
Management tests, the release introduced the SRMv2 sensor. The whole set of SRMv2 tests was made critical on SAM Production, but alarms for CODs are currently suppressed in order to give site managers a chance to correct any minor configuration issues.
