Regrets:
Action items from last time:
Laura to follow up with Debora Drucker from PPBio - last conversation with Debora, they were trying to get everyone "together" as they are spread out, many in the field, etc.
Agenda:
0. Welcome new attendees - introductions
1. Network-wide update and issues affecting MN's as a whole
Nothing going on right now.
CCIT meeting coming up week of 9/22/13; if there is anything that any MNs would like for Bruce to bring up at that meeting, let him know here/now.
2. Open issues: MNs please add anything you would like to address here.
- Mike's (PISCO) upgrade to new version of metacat - how's it going re: the indexing problem? Also, how about the MatLab playing well with DataONE issue?
- 20K record index difference between local node and CN index, Mike correcting
- MatLab and D1: Java version issue, can change version in MatLab but causes its own set of problems
- Dave: which version of Java
- Mike: ver 1.6 in "newer" MatLab, even older for the 2008-2009 versions of MatLab
- Mike documenting, Chris (et al) have access to it
- Dave: we have plans to move to current version of Java in the next several months, which may compound this issue
- Mike: hasn't seen any issues on Macs, just PCs and Linux which uses own version of Java
3. Feature requests/opportunities for collaboration:
Mike: one thing I'm seeing with the indexing thing is too many open files errors; is there any information available on how to run this new version of metacat
Dave: we do make changes on CNs to enable them to handle the volume; will check with Chris to see what settings are (Dave to get back with Mike)
Mike: do CNs run something against MNs every weekend (or otherwise) that might be causing errors
Dave: they shouldn't be; are you having problems?
Mike: last two weeks have had tomcat go down and had to restart it on Monday morning
Dave: no, shouldn't be any difference on the weekends
Greg: we might have something of interest as we get closer to production, working with colleagues at UNM, might have something to share
4. MN showcase: Member Nodes who are present, please discuss your status:
- 5 MNs in progress for Y5Q1: EDAC, SEAD, UKansas, NPN, and NKN (updates?)
- UKansas (Dave): waiting for them to install certificates so they can participate in testing environment, will check with Rob to see if there are any issues
- NKN (Greg): s/w stack installed, certificate issues resolved, next steps are to configure the server/db/files on their installation; need unique identifiers (Ed Flathers is working, we think it's done); potential issue is difference between how NKN authenticates and how D1 authenticates
- SEAD (Kavitha): going ahead with metadata files we have now and move to production; will get in touch with Chris tomorrow/Monday
- NPN - met last week, progressing well; had been experiencing problems with authentication http vs https, Ben helped sort out, good discussion of "how it's supposed to work" conceptually
- PISCO (see above)
OTHER INTERESTING THINGS:
contact points:
NEW EMAIL contact: mninfo.dataone@gmail.com - This email monitored by DataONE staff. I think we might migrate to this being the primary point of contact for MN questions so we can keep a better handle on issues/resolutions.
