GLAST LAT ProjectOnline EM Experience – October 23, 2003 R. Claus2 Online operations Informational parameters were sometimes not set by shifters Run Control needed to be restarted between runs –Restart needed after some preference changes Environmental monitoring doesn’t run by default –Shifters sometimes didn’t start it –The monitoring process doesn’t report alarms –We’re not in possession of alarm values Security: –Protection against modifying core, scripts, XMLs, etc. Operator authentication needed? –I&T controlled release of Test scripts –Verification of above Problem reporting to Online –Guidelines needed

GLAST LAT ProjectOnline EM Experience – October 23, 2003 R. Claus3 Online operations: Run Control, etc. Run input and output file management –Scripts –Configurations –Snapshots –Housekeeping and monitoring –Run reports –Test reports –Data Run Control issues –GUI for “system” parameters Trigger TACK delays –Slow-down when Hippo gobbles all of memory –Cutting and pasting to e-logbook –Shifter input?

GLAST LAT ProjectOnline EM Experience – October 23, 2003 R. Claus5 Online operations Test script issues –Missing test scripts Electronics functional tests –Currently relying on subsystem scripts to do these, e.g. Register tests Timing-in scripts Others? –Non-intuitive script naming –Additional restrictions on subsystems? Electronic logbook issues –Searching –Local version –Mate/Demate log acceptable?
