<big> EGEE issues coming from ROC reports </big>

Reports were not received from these ROCs: All reports received.

1. BDII timeouts encountered, most of the time on lcg-cr. Maybe there's a problem with this lcg tool ? Other timeouts also encountered on lcg-* commands : is the information system too loaded ? Are all the available information usefull ? Is there a way to decrease the load on information system requests ? (after a download on lcg-bdii, I get a 17MB ldiff file...). (France ROC)



2. The cycle of test job submission in SFT/SAM framework is apparently 2h for OPS VO (compared to 3h for dteam as before). Has this officially been announced/broadcasted (e.g. to the sites) yet? (DECH ROC)



3. Uncertified sites: we have put a couple of RCs in "Uncertified status" on GOCDB because we have some problem with them (very long down, old release, site mostly unattended). A MoU for INFN Production Grid should be approved in the next few days and signed by all italian RCs. Our idea is to use the "uncertified status" as "light" temporary suspension of sites that don't respect this MoU. Any objections and comments are welcome. (Italy ROC)



4. Sometimes SAM monitoring shows one isolated error (1hour) and the CIC report does not show it. Which is the status of this? Should all the SAM errors appear in the CIC report, or single errors will not appear?. (SWE ROC)



5. A couple of GGUS tickets have been open with requests for the PPS report in the CIC-portal: +To add a "week" button on friday to be able to edit the weekly report (ggus-12850) +To send an e-mail reminder, as it is done for the Production report (ggus-12851) (SWE ROC)



6. LFC Catalog does not work with the Spanish CA (REDIRIS) User certificates because they include a dot "." in the user name field (ggus-12389). This is a major problem for us, since many users have certificates from this CA, so we would appreciate to have an estimation of the timescale this might be solved. . (SWE ROC)



7. In the last gLite version, the /opt/glite/yaim/libexec/gLite.def file contains a hardcoded value for "cemon.cetype=blah". The value of this parameter should be allowed to take the value "condor". Hence, it would be useful to have it as a "site-info.def" parameter. (SWE ROC)

8. The move to OPS is welcome, but the default tests shown on the SAM website need to be updated to reflect this. It's only now that I realise we've been failing some significant tests for quite some time.
   As this is the first time we have been presented with these results I am marking failures as non-relevant for this week. Looking at the old SFTs we had a near perfect week. But now the OPS/SAM tests have flagged us as failing all week. Clearly this is nonsense as we've been full all week processing CMS and LHCb jobs! (UKI ROC)
