Information is cataloged as: Messages: –Errors –Generic –Resource Status Change Monitor JOB CONTROL –It starts, monitor and kill the software infrastructure of the RCMS PROBLEM SOLVER –It uses the information provides by IMS to catch severe malfunctions of the apparatus and try to fix them Security Service Resource Service Info&Mon Service Job Ctrl Problem Solver Sub-System Controller Services Connection Session Manager RCMS UI UserDB ConfDB LogDB Run Bkkpng

CMS Luigi Zangrando, Cern, 16/4/ Information and Monitor Service (IMS) The IMS collects all the information comming from any DAQ resources or RCMS internal components and stores them in the logDB database. The informations are cataloged in: Messages (error, generic, resource status change) Messages (error, generic, resource status change) Monitor Monitor SM FM FM error msg status change msg IMS
