  • Usual issues escalated.
Gen 3 middleware development
  • Significant speed ups to visit definition.
  • Integration of WebDAV datastore and much simplified generic datastore for remote file access.
  • Registry now contains sufficient information for ObsCore
  • Improvements to job handling in ctrl_mpexec.
  • BPS development is restarting.
  • Continued improvements to registry database interactions (new timespans).
  • Experimenting with user interface of pipetask.

  • Estimated date for retiring Gen2 continues to be end of October.
    • But Gen 3 will still be in “friendly user mode”.
  • Main driver of the timeline is the slowness of quantum graph generation.
  • There will be a list of what is required for “feature parity” with Gen 3, but that hasn't been widely exposed yet.
    • That's ultimately what's driving the schedule.
    • This will be presented at the DMLT F2F in three weeks.
