Databases are a large discussion within DUNE right now:
The components (hardware) database is running in development.
- Authentication/Authorization is in place, but requires FNAL SSO through LDAP.
- Component Types, Components, Test Types and Test forms are ready for testing.
- First feedback from a Far Detector APA construction site

- regular meetings and feedback from ESNet
- will have a draft prepared by Aug 14th deadline
WLCG Tools

- FermiGrid configured to accept ETF DN, but haven’t yet seen jobs show up (to my knowledge)
- Development with Andrew McNab of a benchmark code as part of the WLCG effort to provide updated HEP benchmarks
Production
