+Report from Alistair. 27/10/2009. Modified by ChrisCT on 11/11/2009 and on 17/6/2010:
 See at the bottom of the page for general conclusions.

To book your shifts, you need to use the Operation Task Planner (OTP) - if you don't have the option to book ADCoS shifts, then contact Xavier, and he should be able to sort you out. You'll all be glad to know that,as Graeme said, I ran my shift from 9-5 rather than 8-4, and nobody complained (in fact, the expert did his shift 9-4:30 - so even if you want to run by CERN time, that still gives you an extra hour in bed. But Graeme said that it's fine to run it 9-5 by your own time zone.

+You can see who is supposed to be on shift at the ADCPoint1Shift  page: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/ADCPoint1Shift#Shift_schedule. 
 You may also find the ADCPoint1Shift page useful to see how ADC@P1 shifts fit in with ADCoS (your shift!)
  look at the bottom for "Shift Shedule" and inside there, look for the inset window. 
  There is a link to "all" - click it. (it links here http://iueda.web.cern.ch/iueda/adc/shifts/index.html
  "Task 88" is the "Distributed Computing Shifts" and it has 3 time zones - you will probably be in the "Requirement: Shifter(Trainee)" bit if you booked in successfully.

+You can see who is supposed to be on shift:  
 https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/ADCoS#Communication_and_Organization shows you how to find who is on senior/expert shift.
  Task IDs useful to you:  529222=ADCoS Senior shifts,  529221=ADCoS Expert shifts, 529223=ADCoS Trainee shifts
  You should then know who your senior shifter and expert shifter are for the same date and time as your shift.

  You may also find the ADCPoint1Shift page useful to see how ADC@P1 shifts fit in with ADCoS (your shift!)
 

You will need: 

 a Jabber account (I visited www.jabber.org.uk) 
  and a jabber client - (ADCoS reccommends Adium for OSX) 
  Configure Adium to use the jabber account at jabber.org.uk. https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/ADCoS#ADC_Virtual_Control_Room - in Adium, FILE, JOIN GROUP CHAT and enter info needed.
  NB: you will need the adcvcr password, so get this before your shift!
 

You will also need: 

  a GGUS account (to open TEAM tickets) - which you need log in to using your grid certificate - which HAS to be imported into your web-browser!
  an ATLAS eLog account - try to log in at: https://prod-grid-logger.cern.ch/elog/ATLAS+Computer+Operations+Logbook/

+So, starting your shift: 
Bear in mind, if you are "senior shifter" you will have to submit a shift report https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/ADCoS#Daily_SHIFT_report.

+So, starting your shift: First, open the ADCoS TWiki, and go to the Checklist for things to do. Out of the list of links they ask you to open in your browser, I only really looked at the Production Dashboard, Production (PANDA), the DDM Dashboard and the ADC eLog. As the checklist says, switch to the cloud view on the Dashboards. Note that of those four, all refresh automatically (with LARGE delays and possible problems!-see later) apart from the ADC eLog. However, every time a new eLog entry is created, you'll get an e-mail, so there's not much to worry about there (TURN OFF your email filter if you have it switched on normally!).

 Once you have all the windows open, probably best to check the eLog and previous shift summary (there will be a list of hot issues!)
You may also find it useful to have a window open with your 'shifts' emails right by the browser.
