It came to our attention that some T2 Wisconsin users were not included in the previous list that was contacted. Below is an announcement related to the retirement of the T2 Wisconsin SRM service, which is being replaced by the gridftp service. You only need to make a change if your commands or scripts refer directly to the SRM service.
