Hall C RCDB

Setting up from scratch

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hallcdb

2. Set environment variables. Modify setup.csh script as needed. You will most likely need to update the first two variables to adjust the path. Once it's done,

> cd hallcdb
> source setup.csh

3. Check if things are set properly. For example, type:

> rcnd

This should show the list of condition types.
More information on the commandline tool can be found from: https://github.com/JeffersonLab/rcdb/wiki/rcnd

Notes:

RCDB submodule

• rcdb package (https://github.com/JeffersonLab/rcdb) is added as submodule with a specific tag. This release version is a rather old one, but for now keep it as it is.

Connection string:

• For updating DB entries: Master DB should be only used when making DB entries by start/end run scripts from cdaq machines. On cdaq computers, RCDB environment is set when login, and the connection string is set to the master database.
• Please use the read-only copy otherwise:

  setenv RCDB_CONNECTION mysql://[email protected]/c-rcdb
