Data Center team

Accomplishments

  • Fixed an issue with the portal where the portal was returning a blank page.

  • Continued working on Proposal Architect updates in preparation for Cycle 4

  • Fixed a bug in Proposal Architect that caused failures when unusual characters were uploaded

  • Implemented a fix for an Access Control List (ACL) issue that was preventing certain users from accessing data. These users were hitting a limit of access to more than 100 endpoints (data buckets) imposed by Globus. We opened a ticket with Globus to increase the limit - which they subsequently did (to 200). In the mean time, Public datasets were moved to a common bucket - which reduced the number of ACLs for the users impacted.

EHS team

Accomplishments

  • Terran is completing his Fall Protection Train the Trainer program. Once he is back we will be rolling out our new and improved fall protection training program!

  • The team on summit this week did an excellent job of observing, reporting and correcting several minor hazards! Reporting and correcting minor hazards and near hits allows us to avoid bigger incidents and injuries in the future and provides valuable lessons learned. In turn we are able expand and refine our safety program. Mahalo to everyone for a job well done!
