WLCG Operations Call details
- The connection details for remote participation are provided on this agenda page.
General Information
- The purpose of the meeting is:
- to report significant operational issues (i.e. issues which can or did degrade experiment or site operations) which are ongoing or were resolved after the previous meeting;
- to announce or schedule interventions at Tier-1 sites;
- to inform about recent or upcoming changes in the experiment activities or systems having a visible impact on sites;
- to provide important news about the middleware;
- to communicate any other information considered interesting for WLCG operations.
- The meeting should run from 15:00 Geneva time until 15:20, exceptionally to 15:30.
- The SCOD rota for the next few weeks is at ScodRota
- Whenever a particular topic needs to be discussed at the operations meeting requiring information from sites or experiments, it is highly recommended to announce it by email to the
wlcg-scod
list (at cern.ch
) to allow the SCOD to make sure that the relevant parties have the time to collect the required information, or invite the right people at the meeting.

- PIC: We will have a complete shutdown of the center for 4 days in December (27th to 30th December). There are major works at the building to improve the cooling units. We will place the information in GOCDB at some point soon, when the definite schedules will be provided by the University. For the moment, we expect to start at 8h00 on the 27th and recover services by 30th at around 16h00.
