AOB

• Schema

Released last week Paul D. will send Adam all the information as Adam is aware of potential necessary code changes.

• EBI FTP changes

EBI is moving data from one compute culster to the other, which will affect FTP uploads and downloads, but should not be noticeable to external users

• CeNGen graph data needs patching for WS282 (Raymond) - Adam thinks it can be done as a patch as a hot fix after release.
  • WS282 penned for release late October but looking to release earlier within the next week but the hot fix should be easy.
  • Webteam learning the release process.
  • Will announce when release as have a blog post about the CeNGEN data because of community interest.
