This package contains several utilities to startup the DAQ,
archive run parameters to COOL, send command to the Run Control,
etc.
In addition this package contains the run control plugin for
the web based monitoring (WMI).
rc_print_partition_env issues an error message if it is not possible to create the process environment for the Root Controller of a partition.
rc_is2cool has a new commandline option (-b SQLite_backup). The format for the specification of the backup file should be: sqlite://;schema=/tmp/sql.bck;dbname=SQL_BCK. If writing to the primary COOL database fails data are stored to the specified SQLite file for future import.
setup_daq <-h>: script to launch the DAQ. Note that the <-i>
option is not supported anymore.
rc_print_partition_env <-h>:
extracts the main partition environment from a database. It also
constructs the environment necessary to launch the RootController.
From within a bash script the function get_partition_env
${TDAQ_PARTITION} can be used after having sourced the file
${TDAQ_INST_PATH}/share/bin/setup_functions: this function requires
${TDAQ_DB_DATA} to be set.
rc_commander: simple graphical tool to
send commands to a Controller.
rc_sendcommand <-h>: sends
commands to a Controller.
rc_isread <-h>: reads the RC state
of a controller from IS.
rc_waitstate <-h>: waits for a
controller to reach a particular RC state.
rc_timetest <-h>:
sends a series of commands to a Controller and measures the duration
of each transition.
rc_decode_detectormask <-h> : decodes a
numerical detector mask into human readable TTC pastition
names.
rc_print_root <-h>: prints the name of the root
controller and the top segment.
rc_print_tree <-h>: prints
the tree of controllers for a partition.
rc_getrunnumber <-h>:
gets the current run number for a partition from IS.
rc_checkapps
<-h>: dumps a tabular view of the applications in a partition
with their basic properties.
rc_print_partition_env <-h>:
extracts form the database the basic environment for the
partition.
rc_is2cool_archive <-h>: inserts basic run
information into COOL.
No APIs.
Run status web
page appearance has changed under a few aspects:
- color schema
that is used is about the same with the one used by the other
plugins: dark blue header background, light blue label cells
background, white information cells background, critical information
cells – white fonts on red background
- page is organized on
blocks separated by titles:
Run Status block – available
for all partitions
Busy Information block –available for
the partitions that publish this information
Trigger
Information block – available for the partitions that publish this
information in IS
Message from white board commission –
available when the file
/det/tdaq/RunComWhiteBoard/last_white_board_message.txt exists
Data Quality Monitoring Frame block – available for ATLAS
partition only
Trigger rates block – available when the
rates are available in the is
Trigger Information block
– available for the partitions that publish this information in IS
Useful Links block – links to data quality page (except
for ATLAS partition), logs archives and oks archives
Note: the data
quality base name (without the name of the partition) can be set in
the configuration file using the parameter “DQPage”.
Ex.: <parameters name=”DQPage”
value=”http://pcatdwww.cern.ch/atlas-point1/wmi/tdq201/Data%20Quality%20Monitoring_wmi/”/>
None.
