href="https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2018-March/003128.html">New
sim-recon release, version 2.24.0</a>. Mark reminded
us that this version supports a local version of the
SQLite libraries which are now needed for CentOS6 and
RHEL6.</li>

1.13 has been released</a>. Thomas described the
recent release.
<ul>
<li> There are now two calibrations times: one for
simulation and one for reconstruction since in
principle these may differ.</li>
<li> The mechanism for distributing random triggers
to the OSG for use as background has been
implemented. Those files are being processed now.</li>
<li> The system for copying job output off the
submit node is being developed. The concept has
been designed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Today's Containers Meeting is canceled.</li>
<li> Launches: Alex reported
<ul>
<li> We are finishing the 2016 REST v5 launch.</li>
<li> Progress has slowed due to a recent priority
increase for the calibration effort by the
gxproj3.</li>
<li> There is a possibility of future reconstruction
launches using software improvements being worked
on presently to deal with the intensity dependence
of reconstruction efficiency.</li>
</ul>

of minutes from the February 9 meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over the <a

title="GlueX Offline Meeting, February 9, 2018">minutes</a>.
The self-healing of the not-the-TOF anomaly in
monitoring histograms is still a mystery.

<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Report_from_the_GlueX_Containers_meeting_on_March_2">Report
from the GlueX Containers meeting on March 2</span></h3>
<p>Mark and Thomas summarized the <a
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_Containers_Meeting,_March_2,_2018"
title="GlueX Containers Meeting, March 2, 2018">notes
from the meeting</a>. Since then:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The CVMFS share for GlueX code (Oasis) is now being
updated twice daily. This includes new releases and
new versions of the CCDB and RCDB SQLite files, as
well as any new version set files (version*.xml).</li>
<li> The mechanism for random triggers (mentioned above
in the announcements) will be for each job to grab
needed random trigger files and take them with them to
the OSG. This may not the final scheme, but it has
been implemented and will be used for now.</li>
</ul>
