Hi all, We are putting some tasks here which use a brand new version of the ATLAS "pilot": this is the tool which controls the execution of the task from start to finish. Please let us know if you see any strange behaviour, in particular if there are connections to external services or ports which were not there before. |

I already mentioned a firewall issue a while ago at LHC-prod regarding pandaserver.cern.ch, port 25085: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5008&postid=38684 The same happens here and should be solved. So far no other firewall issues can be seen with v0.62. The currently running 1-core task will need a while to complete. The logfile shows this: 14:20:00 ISFG4SimSvc INFO Event nr. 9 took 84.16 s. New average 125.3 +- 25.92 |

My proxy log shows that a HITS file has been produced and successfully uploaded [17/May/2019:21:08:35 +0200] "POST http://lhcathome-test.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev_cgi/file_upload_handler HTTP/1.1" 200 110797778 "-" "BOINC client (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu 7.14.2)" TCP_MISS:HIER_DIRECT Nonetheless the task is marked as invalid. https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=2777605 |

Oops, there was a bug in the new validator used for these tasks, it should be fixed now. The tasks indeed completed correctly so it seems like things work ok. |

I already mentioned a firewall issue a while ago at LHC-prod regarding pandaserver.cern.ch, port 25085:I also see connections to this port, especially at task start up. The logs (only logged for one task) show connections to aipanda034.cern.ch on port 25085 |

The logs (only logged for one task) show connections to aipanda034.cern.ch on port 25085 I've made a change to avoid these connections which will apply to new WU submitted from now. If the problem is confirmed to be fixed I'll apply the changes on the production WU too. |

The logs show no connections to ports that are not mentioned in http://lhcathome.web.cern.ch/test4theory/my-firewall-complaining-which-ports-does-project-use |

...We are putting some tasks here which use a brand new version of the ATLAS "pilot": this is the tool which controls the execution of the task from start to finish.... What practical effect will this have? Will it increase processing efficiency for the user? Thanks! |

...We are putting some tasks here which use a brand new version of the ATLAS "pilot": this is the tool which controls the execution of the task from start to finish.... It won't have any effect on the efficiency because the code doing the simulation itself is not changing. The change is to the tool which launches and monitors the simulation code, not only for ATLAS@Home but on the whole ATLAS computing grid. This tool is being refactored and rewritten after ten years of accumulating legacy features and is being rolled out on all the ATLAS sites over the next months. So the practical effects should be zero for the volunteers except maybe some minor changes in the logs you see on the stderr of your tasks. |

Have a question about SL69: After some days of searching: SL69 is running now with CVMFS2. Before, it was only running with CVMFS. Have before running with a Script from atlas.cern.ch. Now it can be started after the Console-Command: chcon -R -t cvmfs_cache_t /scratch/cvmfs https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/workunit.php?wuid=1906567 |

Had a energy stop at home. After restart this Atlas it finished successful, but the runtime is not so as before for other tasks. https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=2787228 Is this task ok? |
