3. Client operations Check the availability of the CPU resources (queue);
Check …/job/ToDo directory for pending tasks: submit tasks formulated in the old production if any;
Request job script(s) from the Production Server;
Check for the necessary software, configuration files: install the lacking software if necessary;
Submit the jobs obtained, report to the Production Server;
Check …/bookkeeping/ToDo directory for bookkeeping update files: - update the bookkeeping database; - initiate bbftp transfer of data files to Castor; - accomplish the bookkeeping update if transfer successful

6. Production worker scripts
The job scripts are interpreted on a worker node by a set of production scripts:
getting input data;
invoking executables for each step;
saving output datasets and log files;
checking the log files;
preparing bookkeeping update scripts;
reporting job status to PVSS and “new” monitoring services;
The current production scripts are used with the Production Client:
Should we retain compatibility with the whole current production procedure or just the bookkeeping part ?

7. Client status Implemented in Python;
Code is functional, some parts to be added:
Logging;
Simple local production manager tool
Tests are being done:
New job script format;
Compatibility with the old production schema;
Proper packaging is to be done;
Easy installation (rpm like) is to be done;
