      Data injection demonstrators (discussion)
      Orateur: Dr Riccardo Di Maria (CERN)

      All the sciences/experiments are now on board, having provided reports for at least the 1st exercise.

      The reports for the 2nd exercise are attached to agenda https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/22501/ .

      CMS, EGO-VIRGO, and SKA reports for 2nd tasks are still missing.

       

      3rd Data Injection Demonstrators meeting next week, for which the 3rd task is due:

      accessing the data in the lake with an application/workflow that does use the data and produce a real output.

       

      If you are using a JupyterLab notebook, the work performed by our GSOC student (Rucio-JupyterLab Extension) could be handy. It is a simple extension to be installed.

      Several topics were raised at today's meeting that should be discussed with a broader audience (i.e. next WP2 Fortnightly meeting):

      - greedy option for RSEs;

      - Rucio multi-VO functionalities;

      - experiment-specific RSE.
