Preparations for the demos:

 

From EOSC-Future, we are being asked to demo (part of) the DM science project.  There are 2 occasions:

 

- EOSC-Symposium on Nov 16th, 

 

- the EOSC-Future M18 review on Nov 30, which has rehearsals next week (Nov 9,10) and 2 weeks later (Nov 23,24).

(with rehearsal slot for ESCAPE DM on 10th Nov at 9:00-9:30)

  (My name is against this, but better if the real speaker does it :-), For the first one I think we can just run through what we will show, and indicate the connections to EOSC.  The 2nd rehearsal needs to be fully polished.

 

The most important is what we are able to show on Nov 30.

 

Now, we have the basic science case demo, but we need to continue some integrations with EOSC services to make this convincing.  The idea was to try and have:

 

- EOSC-provisioned storage as an SE in the data lake.  (To discuss - how close are we, help needed?)

 

- EOSC-provisioned compute at CNAF, running the REANA cluster.  (To discuss - status, help needed?)

 

- Obviously the above should use IAM and EOSC-AAI

 

- Finally, we should try and do some simple integrations with some of the other EOSC core services: these are:

 — helpdesk: I suggest we set up a support unit for the DM tsp; this should be simple I think.  I have emailed Pavel Weber at KIT to suggest this, and ask how to do it.  

(8th Nov: support units are set up, need some "friendly" email addresses from our side.

 

— monitoring and/or accounting: How much can we do here in a short time?

Simple use of EOSC Helpdesk:

On the Helpdesk, my thought was to do something simple (hopefully useful), that we can count as an EOSC integration.

 

We can use the EOSC Helpdesk as “Helpdesk as-a-service”.  I have already talked to Pavel Weber about this, and this morning we even set up 2 support groups (one for dark matter and one for extreme universe).  The idea is that a user sends an email to an address like help.darkmatter@projectescape.eu, a ticket gets created and sent to the people in the support unit.  Then the ticket can be managed through the Helpdesk web interface, in the usual way.

 

As of now, someone can actually send a ticket to help@eosc-future.eu and it would be *manually* routed (by the general Helpdesk team) to the support unit (which as of right now is only me, but we can  to this).  We need to set up the “friendly” email addresses (i.e. help.darkmatter@projectescape.eu) which would then be automatically routed.  IN2P3 owns the projectescape.eu domain, so I have to discover how to get those emails set up by them.

 

Then any one working on a SP can send a ticket to the Helpdesk, and it should be see by the appropriate people, tracked, and eventually resolved.  There is no infrastructure on our side apart from providing our friendly email addresses.

10:30 → 10:50 Discussion on TSP website
