- Calibration server for mid has memory problems and needs to be replaced. Calibration pipeline has to be moved to a different servers. Will be discussed offline with MID.==> It is ongoing. In general this issue led to a loss of beamtime for MID. Alessandro suggests that in case of hardware failure there should be a joint ITDM-CAS decision/effort on what to do.
- Data migration: it was slow in the past days due to some script not being used for safety reasons. This is being fixed. Hovewer, due to the queue of old data to be migrated it will take some more time until full performance will be reached.

On Monday Torsten Schoen informed AV that the power went off in MID and HED experiment hutch because of the radiation interlock test. This was due to the fact that according to the original plan (circulated and approved at the beginning of May), the SASE1 test was supposed to happen on Monday and the SASE2 test the day after. On monday, SASE1 system was accordingly bridged to avoid issues with the power. A last minute change in the plan was agreed between MID and MPS but the info unfortunately did not reach Torsten, hence the issue. Also, nobody from SRP, D3, HED was timely informed.
There was obviously a lack of communication that has to be improved. AV will write a report and circulate it to the involved people for review and provide it to the MB.

SRP
- From SBP/SFX: Currently, it is not clear what to do if one of the Pandoras goes off. This apparently happened @ FXE on the night from Sat.-Sunday, and it took 12 hours to fix it. Update from SRP: Occasionally Pandoras trigger radiation alarms. It is not clear why. One possibility is that this is caused by electronic noise. Discussions with D3 are ongoing. Right now an expert is needed to reboot the system since it is not a simple off/on procedure, but data has to be analysed. There is a a document in preparation by SRP/D3 that will allow more people to be able to perform this procedure, but it is not ready yet. A side note is that there is no OCD agreement in place for these experts and the reboot is done on the best effort level. ==> Z.Ansari will be also able soon to reboot the system. ==> The issue will eventually be put up for discussion in the operation board. Statement from SRP is that there are nnot enough people to ensure an OCD service.
- Racks in HED outside the rackroom. They are too high and the top cannot be reached. SRP/JE/SRP will follow the issue up. ==> A solution has been found: TS will modify the existing movable stairs.

- Due to the power glitch yesterday some uTCA crates in the rackrooms had problems (despite the redundant power lines). This was caused by the firmware not being able to deal with these type of instabilities of the mail power line. The crates are now working again and a new version of the fw will be updated to avoid these issues in the future. In addition, the uTCA crates in the hutches do not get redundant power lines, this means that they went off and should be checked to make sure they are working properly.
CAS
- Tests of Karabo 2.5.0. are ongoing (integration PLC/DAQ). HS will give a report on Monday about the tests and the preliminary deployment schedule.
ITDM
- Some servers require fw updates. JS will send a mail to readiness@xfel.eu with the details.

ITDM Admin | General | Information | Re: running jdd panels in control rooms |
Regarding the recent announcements from doocs/jddd people about running jddd application I post here a short summary:
- running jddd with oracle java 8 via java webstart will be no longer possible as of 10.07.19
- on all control PCs in the instruments control rooms, BKR and exflgateway the new jddd was already in use since March, as described in the previous entry
- today the jddd was updated to version 2.12.10-2, which includes openjdk-12 (control PCs will be automatically updated during night)
On Windows 10 you can install Jddd using Software Shop (Netinstall).
Best,
Janusz

On all PCs in the control rooms including BKR and also on the exflgateway there is a new version of jddd installed which is working with openjdk-11.
It is worth to mention that the old javaws from old oracle java 8 is deprecated and it is not recommended running jddd panels using old way, like
javaws jddd-run.jnlp
The recommended way, is to run it on the control PC (if you are in the control room), you don't need to login to exflgateway and start it there anymore, although this is also possible.
To start a svn repository selection window just run
jddd-run
To start a panel of a given name from http repository just type for instance
jddd-run -http XFELMainTaskbar.xml
To start a panel from svn repository just type for instance
jddd-run -file XFELMainTaskbar.xml
In case of question contact it-support@xfel.eu

Adriano Violante | General | Information | Minutes of the Technical integration meeting 19.06.19 |
FXE
SPB/SFX
- No major issues
- Starting from the end of this week to the beginning of next week the hutch will not be accessible because of works on the AGIPD.
SCS
SQS
MID
- Integration of the LDM: Risk assessment has been finalized and uploaded in the IPW system. Next steps: SRP will review it and forward it to A.Madsen for the signature. PGessler is in the loop. JHallmann will call for a meeting with all the parties involved (e.g. EEE) in the implementation once the risk assessment has been signed by AM.
HED
- Due to missing endswitches / interlock conditions, some YAG-screens have been burnt. HED would like to try to get this fixed in the tunnels and the hutches still in this shutdown by installing endswitches etc., to be negotiated with EEE ==> Software limit switches can be implemented already next week if the definitions are delivered to EEE by the end of this week. ==> definitions still missing.
- Loop 11 being set up by EEE
Optical lasers
- SASE1 timing system will be updated today.
VAC
- Requested to see the first pump + valve of SPB/SFX ==> definitions still needed by EEE
XRO
- Installation of the cooling system for the M1 mirror in SASE2 has been completed.
- SASE1 XTD2 M1 being addressed now.
XPD
DET
EEE
- The timing uTCA will be switched off on the 24.06 between 9 am and 5 pm. No train ID and timing wil be available.
CAS
- Release cycle for the next Karabo version in progress.
ITDM
- New version of the Jddd should be used. Details will be forwarded to the readiness mailing list as soon as available.
SRP
- From SBP/SFX: Currently, it is not clear what to do if one of the Pandoras goes off. This apparently happened @ FXE on the night from Sat.-Sunday, and it took 12 hours to fix it. Update from SRP: Occasionally Pandoras trigger radiation alarms. It is not clear why. One possibility is that this is caused by electronic noise. Discussions with D3 are ongoing. Right now an expert is needed to reboot the system since it is not a simple off/on procedure, but data has to be analysed. There is a a document in preparation by SRP/D3 that will allow more people to be able to perform this procedure, but it is not ready yet. A side note is that there is no OCD agreement in place for these experts and the reboot is done on the best effort level. ==> Z.Ansari will be also able soon to reboot the system. No additioanl news.
- Test panel to test the different alarms will be mounted in the hall soon.
- After the safety walk in SPB/SFX some issues have been found (e.g. concerning the Biolab, Rackroom) and forwarded to A. Mancuso. SRP and AMancuso will follow the issues up.
- Racks in HED outside the rackroom. They are too high and the top cannot be reached. SRP/JE/SRP will follow the issue up.
