- A reminder of the “big picture” plan, including an overview of all the moving pieces (required pipeline outputs, Felis, database ingest) and the schema(s) they support/understand/map to each other.
- Results of SDM-standardization work carried out on the AP and DRP pipelines in the F19 development cycle.
- Status of database ingest.

- See DMTN-091 (and the DM-15448 ticket branch at time of writing).
|
|
| 14:00 | Status of reprocessing systems at NCSA | | - Given the discussion on datasets (above) and the ongoing and emergent requirements of the construction and commissioning projects, we should understand the current capabilities and future schedule for reprocessing efforts at NCSA. In particular:
- Following the departure of Hsin-Fang, what staff are assigned to this?
- How ready is the NCSA team to support regular test processing as requested by the SST (above)?
- How are issues reported and acted upon?
- Is tracking metrics with SQuaSH adequate?
- Do we also need Jira tickets?
- Who is responsible for filing/triaging/resolving issues?
- What work needs to be done, either by NCSA or by other teams, to make this process as automatic as possible?
- Can we read this last item as “what is the current status of the Batch Production Service”?
|
|
| 15:00 | Break (Refreshments Provided) |
| 15:30 | Workflow | | - (In so far as it is not covered by the item above), please provide an overview of the current design and implementation of the various services which require workflow management.
- In particular, following surprise/confusion at the June 2019 DMLT F2F, we should establish whether tools like Pegasus are required:
- For the Prompt or Batch Production Services;
- For user-triggered processing from the Science Platform;
- To respond to the recommendation from the Directors' Review that “more effort should be spent on refining diagnosis and recovery from processing errors as this will be critical for operating at scale.”
|
|
| 16:15 | Influx EFD | | - Demo with questions. Simon Krughoffplans to present this.
- And a status update of who is responsible for delivering and running which services where (in particular, what is an LDF responsibility, what is a SQuaRE responsibility, what is a T&S responsibility).
