* C&M reports separately

h3. Progress against milestones

* Automated data-movement 

** Was tested during MDR2

*** Chain: DAQ -> Interim Storage -> Tape Storage -> Tier-1 reconstruction -> Reconstructed output available via IC http

*** Worked

*** Some issues remaining with the RunControl triggering of the DAQ->Interim Storage section

**** Bugs & error-trapping in the script have been fixed

**** PF will be testing with RunControl -- only need to be able to start/stop DAQ from RC to test

* Final Track fit: Stands

* Integrated DAQ: Stands

** YK/EO to readout noise and verify unpacking with OnlineMonitoring

* Integrated Trigger: Stands

** New trigger will be validated during weekend running

*** Dependencies: requires new TOF calibration

h3. MAUS Processing time issues

* Discussions with AD, CR, YK

** Have a likely implementation using C++11

** Entails some external compiler dependencies and cleanup of MAUS

** Under review & discussion on issue tracker

h3. Other

* Offline:

** DAQ unpacking currently failing to link against new DATE libraries on SL5.

*** -an upgrade to SL6 is expected to solve the problem-

*** SL6 implementation during MDR2 worked

*** Need to validate unpacker with meaningful data

** EMR produces additional recon events in the data structure - -bad practice, EMR group will be requested to address this-

*** has been addressed, under test before going to MAUS

** Work ongoing by Chris Hunt, Adam and Ken to bring tracker reconstruction up to scratch.

** Tracker DAQ unpacking / digitisation remains broken, though sensible VLSB data is now seen, extremely slow however. Concerned that this is somewhat orphaned at present.

*** Stands

* Online + Infrastructure

** -miceonrec03 being upgraded to SL6-

*** MAUS-trunk and OnlineMonitoring on SL6 successfully deployed during MDR2

*** Need at least one other SL6 onrec computer availabe as backup for weekend running

**** Will upgrade onrec01/onrec02 (PF)

** need a working MAUS test server node with SL6

*** heplnv157 is down: to be resolved

*** upgrade heplnm071 to SL6 (PPD to be requested)
