Action 90.0 Make the software to restore files from the IDS to a local filesystem/HPC cluster available to the ICAT community. Frazer reported that emails had been exchanged.

Action 85.2 Provide an example ICAT facility page for ISIS in icatproject.org. Tom has send information to Steve.

• CLF are starting to use  the WebDav system but it is not yet in a state where it can be easily used by other facilities.
• getSize calls in TopCAT 2 are now sent to ICAT for multiple files to improve performance. Jody has addressed a number of issues and is now working to make use of the ICAT Lucene indexing.
• One of the IJP batch connectors was considering machines that were DOWN rather than OFFLINE to be ONLINE.
• ICAT 4.6 Snapshot, which has not yet been made generally available, works with multiple containers (WildFly and Glassfish) apart from Message Driven Beans and more importantly there are problems with transaction handling in Hibernate which is the default JPA implementation for WildFly.
• When building the Lucene index with the ICAT 4.6 Snapshot – large amounts of memory are needed.
• ICAT 4.6 should be released soon.
• Peter reported that he had been working on Puppet components for ICAT management. He was encouraged to share these on

Contrib.
