Standardization of DCS panels

Standardization of DCS panels
2
Working in progres

• The new standard DCS panel integrates
• Access control
• The navigator tree (implemented by A. Franco) for
  the DCS hierarchy (suggested by A. and M. Geata
  Offline ) with different icons for CU,LU and DU
• Swapping from monitoring and FSM control
  functionalities on the same screen (REM one
  screen for each DCS project)
• Complementary panels for the FSM machinery
  operation Start/Stop of nodes, save/retrive FSM
  configuration file (included/escluded,
  enebled/disabled)
• Info logging
• Data retrival from the local PVSS archive with
  data saving in external CSV or Excel file(only
  while waiting for the Oracle DB)
• They run only on Windows platform
• They will become an ALICE FW component, delivered
  on the ALICE web page hopefully by the end of
  June (A. Franco). However, in order to use them
  in each detector, the graphic and scripts parts
  have to be accordingly tailored.

Once the PVSS project is launched......
At the WUI startup ........

......the DCS main control panel (E.G. HMPID)
with the Access Control and the navigator tree,
appears. Until no user is logged in, some icons
are not active.
5
.....As first, in a familiar way, the navigator
three allows for showing (even) the entire FSM
hierarchy, navigating trought it (different icons
for CU,DU and LU) and showing where you are with
a red square. If the relevant control panel is
required then........

FSM Complementary panels

• Warning the JCOP should provide in the next
  future (time schedule not yet available) panels
  with the functionalities here presented. However
  up to then this set of panels remains the ALICE
  standard to be followed.

CONCLUSION

• The new set of DCS panels with Access control,
  navigator tree, FSM functionalities.........will
  be posted on the ALICE web page (hopefully) by
  the end of june
• Please try to integrate the panels in your
  project and send us your feedback.
