# Pre production deployment and test

-- Remove manually the user proxy

-- increase user # of open files and processes per user

-- Procedure for moving to a new release:

1. Shutdown current AsyncTransfer Component
2. deploy the new release
3. start new aso
4. wait for the old one to finish all current transfers (look at fts monitor component log)
5. shutdown old instance

N.B. In case of db change, that needs to invert 4 with 3 and modify crontab accordingly. And remember to update machine sensor script as well.
