This document outlines the current plans for support and development related to the CERN FTS instance and ATLAS DDM as discussed in the session on September 14, 2006. Key focus areas include improvements in user-visible features, delegation within FTS, and support for SRM versions 2.2 and 1.1. Priorities also include enhancing transfer service monitoring, reducing expert effort in debugging inter-site issues, and optimizing SRM interactions. The planned enhancements aim to improve service availability and efficiency while ensuring backward compatibility and cleaner error handling.

Current FTS planning Gavin McCance & Paolo Badino ATLAS DDM session 14 September 2006
Plans: current • Support • Support of CERN FTS instance and expert support for T1 instances • Patches and fixes as required • Inter-site export support to debug problems • Next user-visible features • Delegation in FTS • Requires earlier deployment of new client version (to ensure backwards compatibility) • Schema to support the new features • Planned for certification end September • SRM v2.2 support • Both SRM v2.2 and SRM v1.1 supported • Cleaner error classes and messages • Cleaner SRM interactions • Planned for certification end October ATLAS DDM meeting
Plans: next • Better transfer service monitoring is then the highest development priority • We will not achieve the agreed WLCG service availability targets without this • We have a reasonable set of internal alarms and procedures to check for problems on the FTS daemons or hardware • These need to be exposed to the tier-1 sites running FTS • However, the current overall service takes an unsustainable amount of ‘expert’ effort to debug inter-site problems • Improved SAM tests • SAM team already working on this • Properly exposing the FTS view of the transfers • Automatic reporting of rates / failure rates (per site / per VO) • Alarms to CIC-on-duty and sites if channels go bad • Top-3 things that are broken on your SRM ATLAS DDM meeting
Plans: after • Next things • Optimized SRM interaction: split preparation from transfer • Pre-staging support • Notification of finished jobs (so you don’t have to poll) • Catalog plug-ins • LFC in particular • Examine current FTS deployment model • (it doesn’t fit so well for all VOs) • Improve FTS discovery model (“where do I send my job?”) • Better service controls • Make it easier to run and debug problems • Work to support an open-source database is starting ATLAS DDM meeting
