Outstanding Issues
- Occasionally some jobs fail to stage-in .gpg files via scp and have to be terminated. (20100928)
- 201102 - It seems that these jobs are meant to be cancelled, but the lcg-CE, as well as the Cream CE, fail to cancel them.
- 20110308 - The reason that the jobs were never cancelled successfully is a Torque incompatibility with the High Availability feature of Moab. qdel would fail whenever moab02 is the active server, if the full job id is used instead of the short job id. It's because the full job id ends with the address of the moab01 server and torque thinks it should therefore try to contact that server instead of the active one.

Recent Issues
- [20110328] Comparing SciNet batch statistics to APEL statistics from the last quarter showed a 10% discrepancy. Identified that job information for lcg-ce1 does not seem to make it into APEL data since 2011-02-17. GGUS ticket issued https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=69113
- Updated space tokens on site:

Outstanding Issues
- [20110307] APEL publishing failing to update information. Auto-yum update of lcg-dgas-tools-1.0.0-2.sl4.i386 to lcg-dgas-tools.i386 1.0.0-4.slc4 on lcg-ce1 on Feb 17 broke the creation of grid-jobmap_YYYYMMDD records.
- Still issues on CE1 - APEL records updated by hand using gatekeeper information [20110315]
- [20110322] lcg-ce1 records are being scraped manually from /var/log/messages and gatekeeper information for the moment. lcg-ce1 needs to be reconfigured (YAIM) but will likely break things.
