Hi Yves
I am aware that you have been consistently filling in the reports and
the information has been useful. This week was taken as a reference week
because it is the first where we are happy that the process should work
without problems. The site list is not being used for anything other
than to make sure people know what was completed this week and as a
reminder to some sites that we would like extra help from them - clearly
in your case the reminder is not needed. In the future we may create a
metric which looks at site responsiveness and includes a measure of the
report checks (as mentioned at GridPP15 I am being asked to write a
report for the GridPP Oversight Committee detailing site performance
measures and how we can improve the performance of some sites), but
before doing this it is best to let people get used to it.
Thanks for your reply (and yours Peter - received while I was replying
to Yves!).
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I did forget to fill in my report this week-end but in my defence I've
been filling the reports quite consistently since day one for Birmingham
and Bristol until Winnie took over the Bristol reports. One should be
forgiven to forget once a while to deal with the report.
I failed the rm test on 2006-01-17 at10:05:01 maybe due to the CERN DNS
problem and another one off rm test on 2006-01-11 at 10:05:01.
I've noticed that one off failures of the rm test occur frequently at
many
sites and have reported this in my previous reports.
