Summary of the Last LAFS Talk

• Jan 31, 2007 by Dave McGinnis
• Document 470
• Highlights
• 11/15/2006 visit by Pierre Charrue and Eugenia
  Hatziangeli
• 12/12/2996 course on LSA ( LHC Software
  applications) by Greg Kruk
• Status of RBA (Role Based Access), Sequencer, SDA
  projects

Recent Developments

• Dave McGinnis met with Herman Schmickler and Mike
  Lamont to review LAFS projects
• Conclusions
• LAFS is on the right track
• RBA and sequencer continue as they are. They
  will probably finish by the end of the year
• For now, emphasize instrumentation projects
  tune displays, (wire scanners, sync light,) and
  slow down on SDA until the requirements for SDA
  are clearer.

Status - Role Based Access Control RBAC

• Team
• S.Gysin, A.Petrov, C.Schumann (FNAL)
• K.Kistro, W.Gajewski, G.Kruk, M.Peryt (CERN
  AB/CO)
• Vertical slice test a success January 19
• Review February 16
• Chair H.Schmickler,
• Reviewers S.Deghaye (CERN), J.Gras (CERN), K.
  Hoeppner (GSI), M.Lamont (CERN), Derek Mathieson
  (CERN ), D.McGinnis (FNAL), J.Patrick (FNAL)
• Very successful CERN has accepted the proposed
  implementation, going forward with the
  implementation and deployment. Second release
  Feb. 23rd
• RBAC NICE authentication is in demand, a
  production quality authentication server will be
  deployed this spring.
• Core RBAC production functionality in June 2007
• Phased deployment depending on the Equipment
  Groups schedule and commissioning
• All information is onhttp//controls-wiki.web.ce

Status - Sequencer

• Jim Patrick, Jerry Annala, Dean Still, Brian
  Hendricks
• LAFS role is help on establishing requirements
  and general advice not code
• Visit by Jim Patrick last month
• Dean, Jerry and Brian Hendricks went to CERN
  yesterday
• Reyes is coming here in April
• CERN wants multiple visits over the next several
  months

Status - Instrumentation

• Tune displays for BBQs Jim Patrick and Dennis
  Nicklaus with advice from Jerry and Dean
• http//cd-amr.fnal.gov/remop/TuneFeedback.htm
• Dennis and Elliott will gather requirements on
  trips to CERN in the next several weeks. Possible
  projects
• Wire scanners
• Sync light

SDA - Sequenced Data Acquisition

• Elliott, Tim, Jerry Cai, Dennis N.
• SDA-II for Tevatron ready for testing
• CERN isnt ready to think enough about SDA for a
  requirements document. Vertical slice test seen
  as premature
• Mutual decision with CERN to slow down on SDA
  requirements document and work on instrumentation
  projects
• Great experience for SDA work
• Continue with exploratory work to understand how
  to access data at CERN
