The note did say tomorrow - not the day - Since it was writen Sunday the action is for this afternoon. If there is anyone out there who does not like this please notify within one hour. I will start the conversion 2.00 EST. Some new stuff will dribble into brat from now on. So do not update brat until notice come out. regards Flemming To: brahms-dev-l@bnl.gov Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2001 4:36 PM Subject: Database conversion This is a reminder that unless someone objects strongly I (+Betty) will make the conversion of the DB to be compatible with both big and small endian machines, scheduled tomorrow afternoon. a) The implication are -- Not usuable during transition from any-where Need to update Brat to 2.2 It is possible to make a copy DB (BrahmsMainArchieve + BrahmsCalArchieve), since a backup has to be done in any case that can be used for query only The expected down time is 4 hours DB backup + conversion 2 h (+1) Brat upgrade + installation in new 2 hours. Preparing for complaints 1 hours Flemming ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory tlf: 631-344-4106 fax 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov
