Wednesday

• ATLAS DB meeting (phone CERN) - skipped
• ATLAS LFC meeting (phone Robert's office)
• ATLAS facilities meeting (phone EsNet)
• Help in AGLT2 LFC migration (with Shawn, Paul, Xin, Bob)
• Updated US-ATLAS grid middleware packages
  • Fixes to Python32bit: v2.4, with SSL
• tests of wlcg-client on 64 bit machines (64 bit native, forcing 32bit)

Thursday

• Help in AGLT2 LFC migration (with Shawn, Paul, Xin, Bob)
• Decision on configuration for pilot:
  • Proposed logic to follow for the pilot (Paul and Xin in agreement):
    • Check if $OSG_GRID exist in the environment
    • if yes you can source $OSG_GRID/setup.sh
    • if not you can retrieve the setup from scheddb
    • check if $OSG_APP/atlas_app/atlaswn/ exist (if you don't have $OSG_APP you need it anyway for the releases, get it from scheddb)
    • if yes source $OSG_APP/atlas_app/atlaswn/setup.sh
    • if not assume there are no extra apps
  • Proposed way to locate python (Paul and Xin in agreement):
    • just use the python from the environment
    • eventually if the system python is not OK, it will be added to $OSG_GRID or $OSG_APP/atlas_app/atlaswn so it will go into the environment
    • NB Python in OSG_GRID/OSG_APP could cause trouble is system are eterogeneous (force 32bit installation)
  • Xin is removing all $OSG_APP/atlas_app/wnclient to avoid confusion
  • Xin is removing all $OSG_APP/atlas_app/python to avoid confusion
  • requirements for python:
    • 2.3 or 2.4
    • Compatible with _lfc.so (GSG_GRID): same 32 or 64 bit
• tests of wlcg-client on 64 bit machines (64 bit native, forcing 32bit)

Friday

• AGLT2 troubleshooting
• MySQLdb compilation, 32 and 64 bit
  • compatibility test for installing 32/64bit together
