Attending

• Jack, Jerry, Rob, Marco, Sasha

Agenda

• results of last week's test
• next tests
• prototype development
• presentations at CERN

Discussion of the prototype exercise last week

• Plots have been made with, and without the cuts.
• 20 out of 250 events pass the cuts.
• A "tag file" is the output skimselector, extracted from the skim database.

Next steps

• Why don't we do the whole file.
• Need to chain trees together.
• Run the 20 event prototype sample on the workernode.
• Run as a Condor job
• Run as a grid job via Condor-G <-- later.

Tag navigator tool - Jerry

• This is from the Glasgow group. See https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/TagNavigatorTool
• Don't work very well in an OSG environment (works better in LCG?). Dies when it invokes dq2.
• Does a lot of things we've done by hand. Creates a JDL file.
• We should be able to borrow components.
• Jack will setup phone meeting next week with Jerry, Marco, Katrina.

Presentations next week

• Which session? First, is our progress significant enough? Yes.
• We have a design - its been gone over a couple of times.
• And, we have a continuity test.
• Well on our way to a prototype.
• Which session? Database or distributed analysis? Probably database.
• For Pathena backend/plugin module, need to understand the interfaces better, and perhaps request changes from Tadashi.
