General Announcement:
- Martin Doering informs on the winter maintenance period: XO will publish the final task list on next Friday. For next Monday a short presentation will be done in the XO Integration meeting.
- As PRC, F. Wolff-Fabris says many machine downtimes happened since yesterday afternoon due to the trip in one LLRF station, the A6. 
This early morning an intervention was done to reduce the gradient from 620MV to 530MV. Observation in coming hours will say if this has helped to suppress or decrease the ammount of trips.

CTRL:
- News on HED VAC loop6: interlock condition was flickering. Together with HED and EEE it was found the reason and update will be done soon.

DA:
- Calibration team: two weeks ago it was introduced a picture for automatic correction. MyMdc system is still showing bugs and permanent solution is being worked out. 
Until its deployment, please call DOC for solution. K. Wrona says bug happens only if at the beginning of the run it is forgotten to change the run type.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- Nothing to report.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- Graphana upgrade went OK. In case of issues in the coming days please contact ITDM

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- AMPHOS maintenance in SA2 is under way.

UNSYS:
- M. Yakopov repaired another encoder in SA3/cell22 phase shifter on Monday morning. Also as OCD the support for moving the HXRSS crystal is being done.

SPB:
- Yesterday photon intensity jumped down as BKR mistakenly tune down one corrector in SA1 undulators instead of SA2 (when tuning HXRSS). Recovered after 1 hour.

FXE:
- Nothing to add.

MID:
- All fine at MID.

HED:
- Setting up experiment for next week. Troubles with SmarAct devices under investigation.

SCS:
- Nothing to report.

SQS:
- Not present.

General Announcement:
- Jan Gruenert, as PRC, reports on the Saturday night access (SA2 remained running) and on Friday evening at XTD6 done by HED. The remainder of the weekend worked well with instruments.
- A. Silenzi, as DRC, says the SA2/HED loop6 had flickering conditions that makes it irresponsible for short times. Apart of it, it was a quiet week.
- A. Galler suggests groups to check the TS announcement concerning the Dec.3rd electrical maintenance as well as the interruption of drinking water from Dec. 2nd. 
It is suggested to reduce the number of people onsite after 15:00 on Friday 02/12.

CTRL:
- Issue with update of cameras: A. Parenti says that this morning an update for Bassler cameras was installed in agreement with A. Koch. 
It addresses the issue that after pressing "stop" at cameras the Karabo was irresponsible. Cameras will be re-instantiated and will be under monitoring for the next days.
- Unresponsiveness of VAC loop6 in HED will be followed up.

DA:
- Quiet OCD last week.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Saturday evening in SA3: failure of fast valve controller for interface to Desy. Access by VAC-OCD and PRC was needed to exchange the controller and beam interruption of 4.5hs in the north branch 
happened (investigation + access). 
Rack 3.1 was affected (located behind the concrete wall at the dump).

XPD:
- All fine with XPD.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- Status of "Readthedocs": the possibility to generate new documentation is now fixed by a workaround. In mid-term a different documentation system will be used - still to be decided.
- Pre-announcement: 
1. upgrade of InfluxDB to happen during the winter maintenance period; 
2. today the update of Graphana is taking place at a proposed time 15:00 (service down for a short period). An e-mail will be sent and in case of any concerns from other groups it may be shifted to next 
Monday.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Regular maintenance and tests being carried out today.

UNSYS:
- Issues with SA3 cell9 and cell17 undulators which had taper values blocking their movement. It was solved from remote action.

SPB:
- Good data were measured last week.

FXE:
- Nothing to report; experiment was successful.

MID:
- All fine at MID.

HED:
- Apart of small issue last Friday, nothing to report.
- Transmission with MONO was too low and HED decided to stop using it during the weekend. 
- J. Gruenert adds the recalibration of SA2 XGM has to be done when changing beam path or alignment of beam.

SCS:
- Preparation for beamtime; issue with motion being addressed.

SQS:
- Not present.

General Announcement:
- A. Galler informs groups are very welcome to contact XO for questions and discussions on the electrical maintenance task taking place on 3rd of December.
- A. Galler reminds on the beam quality Karabo device that was announced in an e-mail to xo-info@xfel.eu. 
Please instruments are asked to make use of it for that a database can be built to further investigate correlation between beam quality and environment and operating conditions.

CTRL:
- Nothing to report.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- All fine with XPD.
- As PRC J. Gruenert informs machine had trouble on Monday while switching to 14GeV, which took longer time than planned. As consequence tuning started later on Tuesday. 
The HXRSS tuning is starting only this morning. The SA2 regular SASE intensity is still low but SA1 and SA3 runs fine.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Last week SA1/cell27 PS encoder motor was replaced. Suren K. says Unsys still has 5 spare motors to be used in such cases.
- Issue with stages of the Monochromator crystal in second chicane of SA2: X-axis, Y-axis and roll angle have to be controlled in local mode as encoders are broken. 
Crystal was inserted this morning into beam by Unsys staff using the local controls. Roll angle can not be seen in the camera, only Y and X-axis can be seen in camera with accuracy of 0.5mm.

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

FXE:
- Test on digitizer of a motor that worked nicely.

MID:

General Announcement:
- F. Wolff-Fabris as PRC says beam delivery is working fine and only last night it was interrupted for about 1 hours due to an issue with RF system. 
SA1 and SA3 beam is running in good performance and currently the HXRSS in SA2 improved as compared to yesterday and has achieved around 500uJ with 100uJ SASE background as of now.
- Gero Flucke as DRC says all is fine but suffering with shortage of people in DOC.
- A. Galler says that please contact XO for information/question on the power cut of December 3rd.

and this was not prepared at FXE.  

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

Wajid E. and Steffen H. comment that the "refresh" button helped to re-start; the server that runs the clones for MID crashed due to unknown reasons and the refresh button worked; reason under 
investigation.

HED:
- Nothing to report.
- HED will need XGM next week.

SCS:
- User operation and issue with theta rotation of a chamber. SCS will contact EEE and CTRL.
- Question on ReadtheDocs problem: SCS uses with users for documentation and shows malfunction.

accordingly. 

SQS:
