1 Introduction/Information

Speaker: Pär Strand (VR)

Update on AAI lite access:

 -  KeyCloak support 5-6pm,  new or different resources (check with Marcin)
 -  Available Q2 2024.
 -  PSNC team need to have access to EURPOfusion LDAP (Michal to prepare a tech note, PS to prepare a question to Denis)

Ingestion
 - can we read hdf5 data through UDA? PSNC to validate?
 - What is the preferred method of ingestion?
 - UDA protocol to be started with first and then to have local files as a second stage?
 - Possibility to have a local uda server for ingestion to provide simplified UDA access
 - EUROfusion databases have some of the information in the ids_summary - suffiencient for customers search needs?
   ( disruptions, pedestal and ???)
 - How is the ingestion request initiated? Can we have a small test activity?
 --- WEST, MAST and TCV to validate access to Local UDA services from GW.
 --- Test the Ingestion protocol

See coming notes from Michal with more on the testing protocol.

IPP: wating for DMZ
WEST: Testing the UDA installations and are debugging (local files) Imas plugin promising but requiring development versions.
MAST: UDA development is UK only and need to be discussed/supoorted for security of tools development
TCV: progress on the UDA server, complicated build dependencies  - better documentation is needed! --> Bartek doc on gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl.
     Is there an agreed distribution  - Rocky linux used for build convenience.


Simulation and modelling data should come in an organised form: Simdb is usggested.

What are TSVV11 needs  PS to contact CB

am sending out the diagram of what currently is possible, and what needs to be implemented.

I will not go into details here - I prefer to discuss this diagram live.

However, to summarize the brief discussion from the last meeting.

In principal it is possible to use `UDA` from external server as a source. We have to test it with `imas/ual` + `UDA`, though.

Local ingestion also works.

The topic in question is: how to ingest data in different formats (CSV, HDF5).

If `UDA` supports `HDF5` already - there is no problem here and CSV is the only remaining case.

If `UDA` does not support `HDF5` - this is also a case without a support.
