Hi Christian.
This is mainly for you- but should also be considered by others.
Some comments was brought on in the discussion on Wednesday software meeting
a.. Should the revision or better the parameter object not know number of entries expected. Otherwise we could easily come into a situation where the DB gets filled with a wrong number of entries (e.g. BBL is 44 while BBR is 35). The type is known though the char* fTypeName. Are there anywhere some utility methods (static) that
b.. To make life easier for people we needed some simpler wrapper classes for storing standard revisions . One such prototype is in my BBCalibFill program in my ~root_app/calib directory. I will like to let Yury work with such a simplified version in order he be able to write analysis Module for the beam-beam counter that can write pedestal and pedestalWidth into the DB (even a preliminary). This would also serve as a general prototype.
c.. I do also think we should (soon) start a beta-version database for people in general to use. We can have it initial on pii3, but would like it to move to a RCF machine. We should decide on what machine. Does it have to be on a linux box, or can it also be on Solaris ? For a start we could use of the the rcas0001/2 machines which has 35 GB worth of disk, and then assign a dedicated machine later.
d.. We should also establish backup, logging procedure, recovery.
regards
Flemming
