New Grid middleware on the WNs

Summary

The temporary queue short.q.validation will be used to validate the new Grid middleware on the WNs

Details

The Grid middleware used inside the WNs which run your job is getting outdated and we have to migrate to a more recent version; to simplify this migration and to avoid sudden failures of your analysis jobs we have installed (and tested) the latest WN middleware inside the temporary queue short.q.validation.

All the T3 users are kindly invited to send a few of important jobs to this queue by the end of May and - if these jobs should fail - privately provide us a detailed report to troubleshoot the errors (also we are interested in building a comprehensive test-suite; so if you have jobs that you think are very different from everything else, please provide us the details).

Silence from your side will mean that everything ran ok and it's ok to migrate the default queues.
