ATLAS Release 15

Today I finally got round to switching my ATLAS tests to using Release 15. I tried as soon as it came out but the tests all failed and so they did today (as you might have seen) until I finally fixed it this evening. I don't understand why it wouldn't work - I had to modify PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH by hand eventually.

SE SAM Tests removed

I have remove the 'SE' SAM tests as they are no longer run and are superceded by the 'SRMv2' ones.

SAM Updates

I have changed the main SAM tests from SRM to SRMv2. I have also added ATLAS specific SAM tests (to join CMS and LHCb ones). It is not clear if these are the right tests. Each SAM summary page now has a list of the tests being polled under the results table. If the experiments want different tests please let me know.

Proxy problems

Most tests have been red for the last 24 hrs or so due to failure to submit any jobs. This was due to trying to use an ATLAS production role which seems to stop anything working. The tests should be OK again now I've stopped trying to do this.

New Server

I have moved everything on to one dedicated server. There should be no noticeable change but if there is please let me know.

CMS SAM Tests added

I've added CMS specific SAM tests to the suite. See

Network Tests Updated

I have revamped the network tests as agreed at a dteam meeting a couple of weeks ago. The tests now involve copying files from the Tier-1 to the local SE, copying the files from the local SE to the WN and copying them back to all SEs. There is quite a high failure rate. Some of this is transfer/catalogue/info failures and some of it is attempts to get more reliable results by using different timings and asking for consistency between them. Sometimes the times vary wildly with smaller files taking longer etc. I am sure there is more to be done.
