Hi Dan, It appears there is a bug where the pilot code is appending an extra "pilot.cfg" string onto the end of the user supplied arguments in some cases; we're investigating the root cause of this and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Daniela,

Thank you for the update!

NA62 submission worked ok (https://na62.gla.ac.uk/index.php?task=jobs&nev=316), but the jobs failed at the sites: It seems that the arguments from the JDL were not passed to the executable.

[W] Usage: cw1v35g7_debug.sh MAC_FILE LFC_PATH N_EVENTS

Is this because the sites probably run some older version of Dirac and I should repeat my tests later on?

Best regards, Dan

Hi Steve, We don't really support SL6 any more as the OS is very close to being completely out-of-support. Having said that, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work (I've just tried running it on a new CentOS6 cloud node and it appears to work)... Could you please try running the following in the DIRAC environment and send me the full output off-list? env | grep PYTHON which python python -v -c "import six" Do you have an alternate python interpreter or anything installed in your python user site-packages directory in ~/.local/lib? The six package is included in the DIRACOS bundle, so the error implies that an external setting is preventing it from successfully finding/loading the bundled packages. Did you start in a completely clean shell with no other DIRAC settings configured? If an old bashrc is already sourced at the start of the install process it can cause weird problems like this.

Dear All,

We have finished the DIRAC upgrade and the server should be usable again. This was a major upgrade and you will have to upgrade your UIs (apologies). Please find the instructions/version in the usual place: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Quick_Guide_to_Dirac#Dirac_client_installation

If you find any issues, please email this list as it is likely other people might see it as well.

For LZ only: Submission to the cloud currently only works when using JDLs (not the API). We are working on it.

Regards, Daniela
