Abstract;Commissioning of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments started from January, 1999, at the KEK-PS. In order to prepare the experiment, intensity upgrade studies and the hard ware improvements have been performed for a few years. The neutrino oscillation experiment requests the fast extraction. It needs to construct the fast kicker magnet system, and to re-construct the septum magnets and some other equipment. The switching of the fast extraction and the slow extraction can be done without the evacuation of the equipment in order to serve the beam for the multi-users as effective as possible. The results of the upgrade projects and the commissioning will be presented. (author abst.)
