As noted the pii's will be down next week. Since this will disrupt the use of the RUNDB
a copy was moved to rcas0005. Thanks to foresight it is not too difficult to use within the
exsiting Brat - The following snippet was tested and works.
In addition you must edit the .bratdbrc file and add

rcas0005.rcf.bnl.gov RUNDB query xxx

with xxx the query users password.



  // Un-comment if you need access to database 
   if (!mainDb->Connect())
     return;   
   if (!mainDb->ConnectToCalib("query"))
     return;
   //
   // To access the RUNDB on the rcas rather than the pii3
   // use the following piece of code
   //

   Bool_t useRcas = kTRUE;
   if(useRcas) {
     BrRunsDb *runDb =    BrRunsDb::Instance();
     runDb->SetName("runs");
     runDb->SetUserName("query");
     runDb->SetHostName("rcas0005.rcf.bnl.gov");
     runDb->SetDbName("RUNDB");
     runDb->Connect();
   }
   else
     {
       if (!mainDb->ConnectToRun("query"))
	 return;
     }
