DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Not present.

XPD:
- Nothing to report.

DET:
- Issue concerning AGIPD cooling system at MID being not very effective: there is ice formation which stopped the flow of water. This already happened once but it is not so often. 
Fix consists in flushing with dry air. Later today Detector will be running again. 

ITDM: 
- Fire incident yesterday on the labs (ITDM/EEE) was caused by a broken cooling system; the lab cooling water did not work for hours and let to problems with GPFS system in the lab as well as with servers 
(same type of racks as the ones in the rack room). 
- ITDM suggests the handling of such alarms have to be improved.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Issues with SA3/cell17: Phase shifter can not move. After rebooting PLC system one had to power cycle leading to lose half the SA3 undulator system. 
A ZZ was done to recover downstream cells but finally the encoder of the PS motor is found damaged and need replacement. A request for access is created and is needed 4 persons for 2-3 hours.

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

FXE:
- Nothing to report.

MID:
- All fine apart of the mentioned Detector issue.

HED:

colleagues.

SCS:
- Nothing to report.

SQS:
- Nothing to report.

General Announcement:
- During the weekend there was a cryo plant failure which caused more than 30 hours downtime. This was due to the cold compressor failure on Friday evening. 
Machine work hard to get back in operation and Sunday by 06:00AM beam was available to the experiments.

XPD:
- This week XPD will measure at HED with the calorimeter.
- XPD needs confirmation from MID if Diamond detector was used at MID.

DET:
- Few OCD calls related to the AGIPD operation support.

ITDM: 
- The MID issue seems not be linked to migration in a first analysis. It may relate with calibration. Queue was busy as many experiments taking data simultaneously. 
By the other side, there were no indications of calibration being used. Today the migration was running normally.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Not present.

UNSYS:
- Another Phase shifter (SA3/cell20) presented a problem like the cell17. Waiting for getting access to fix and investigate the encoders. ZZ is scheduled for this morning.

MID:
- Issue with data processing last night: if it looks good for IT and DA, then MID is relieved.
- Diamond detector use: looks reasonable and data was taken. The final analysis has still to be seen.
- MID refers that it was positively impressed how fast the seeding was brought back after the cryo failure.

HED:
- Nothing to report.

SCS:
- EEE got a call about scanner-y motor. A problem with cable was found and it was exchanged on Sunday morning. Since then it appears to be solved.

SQS:
- Nothing to report.

General Announcement:
-	 

CTRL:
- Issue with mc2 motor (pop-up issue for step-up command): it has been identified and fixed. New version will be deployed in the shutdown. Workaround until then is to stop and restart device.

DA:
- On the slow migration/calibration at MID: it is understood as overload of cluster nodes responsible for migration; mitigated by adding two more nodes. Calibration services shall run better from now.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- On the prioritization (refers to DA): major reorganization of priorities took place. This results in the fact jobs that are submitted to the partition, (many jobs for a current beamtime) are killed. 
If instrument has beamtime please request reservations for the proper amount of jobs.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Planned access to exchange motor of PS21/SA3 this morning.

DAQ will discard the data. 
This is not unusual and one has to look at the frequency which happens - there is nothing wrong with Detector; data looks as usual. Further discussions will take place.

FXE:
- Nothing to report. User beamtime seems to have run well.

MID:
- Restriction of priorities: MID jobs went through. Experiment jobs have priority and for this week one has to put back in priorities.
- K. Wrona says a system will prioritize the user beamtimes for each week, getting out of the system automatically.

HED:
- Two user experiments using AGIPD went nicely but a bit stuck due to the priorities list (slow data processing).
- Beam instabilities occasionally: appearing and disappearing from time to time (maybe related to mirrors). It was reported to the stability task force. 
Harald Sinn mentions about a crosstalk between SA2 with SA3. This HED case will be further studied.

until tomorrow.

DET:
- Nothing to report; IT group is working to increase space for data.

ITDM: 
- It collected 2.2 Petabytes of raw data for one user (MID) plus the same amount of calibrated data and there is still one day of beam delivery until tomorrow. Also SPB produced about another 1 Petabyte.
- If such requirements are needed in future please communicate to ITDM well in advance, largely more than one week before.
- A. Madsen says that the reason such big amount of data relates to an exceptionally well run, so it is difficult to predict how many data will be collected. K. Wrona says the communication went very well 
this week. M. Turcato also says that when many detectors are running in parallel.
- Further discussions on this topic will take place.

SPB:
- Issue with calibration pipeline with AGIPD is under investigation (performance of the pipeline is not the expected one). P. Schmidt says that used calibration can not be fully supported on the weekend so 
a fix can't be delivered in short time. In such cases it is better to use the old version.
- K. Wrona say one can plan for the maximum expected of acquired data but needs to have full resources for it. The current week was an exception. If one needs similar conditions like the current week it is 
a big challenge. 
- M. Sikorski completes that about 2-3 weeks before they can have an idea of how much data will be generated. 

FXE:
- Nothing to report. M. Biednov says that they work at 9.3 keV that machine performance was poor and that would need to retune on Tuesday (about 1.5mJ).

- For SA2, LAS is confident will be fine with alignment. The SA3 is a bit behind of SA2;
- SA1 presents the biggest misalignment after T and H shock - long pump pulse. The 280kHz test is now in secondary priority. LAS will report day-by-day and is not so confident will be ready for instruments 
in February.

Maybe today or tomorrow one needs to make some tests leading to a break of GPFS operation (short interruption of migrating data from online to offline).

XRO:
- SA3 proceeding well and for SQS several mirror positions are saved.
- On Sunday there was a problem preventing to complete the SCS (control issues of translation stages of pre-mirrors). It was solved but happened a couple of times. 
Please experiments in SASE3 be aware that current translation stages positions may differ by 1mm. 
- XRO implemented two-steps backlash corrections in SA3 (as done before in SA1): to solve the different positions after moving mirror. 
Maurizio V. informs that instruments shall not be surprised if the motor overshoot and then return to correct position.

tunnel).
- Currently cryo is down and pushes back next days plans: Today planned schedule of tuning 17.2 keV in SA1 as well as Apple-X in SA3 is shifted to tomorrow.
