Roberto Saban TS/HDO HCWG Post Mortem (PM Client) PM Client functionality:  Wrapper to CMW client used by systems to send the PM data  Takes care of re-sending data in case of communication problems  Possibly saves data locally* in case of unsuccessful transfer or even before sending the data - What to do in a diskless system?  Possibly checks availability of the PM server (heart beat)  Possibly sends alarms to the Laser system in case of problems Courtesy G.Kruk

Roberto Saban TS/HDO HCWG Post Mortem (PM Client) Advantages of having the PM Client:  Decreases work which probably would have to be repeated in all systems  Simplifies and decreases testing (one code instead of several)  Takes care of correct formatting data sent to the server (all required fields, etc.) and decreases a risk that the server will receive unexpected data  If for some reason there is a need to modify the interface (protocol, data formatting, …) it will be modified (and tested) only once in the Client code instead of asking each system to adapt their code.  … Courtesy G.Kruk

Roberto Saban TS/HDO HCWG Post Mortem (Issues + further work)  Implementation of the PM Client (which seems to be a good idea)  Implementation of operational version of the PM Server  Data transfer over CMW (will be solved soon)  Define configurations and descriptors of the PM data sent by all involved systems (used to convert binary to ASCII files and possibly used by analysis tools)  Select the data that should be stored permanently (in a database) and  Write an appropriate application which will do it  Move the PM Server to an operational machine and provide space and directory structure Courtesy G.Kruk
