1. Tracker Construction DataBase status
Luca Latronico
INFN Pisa
Glast italian software meeting - Pisa 11-12/10

2. Updated naming convention
new convention:
Part ID location (example)
Strip S
Detector DH00012 [A-D] (L0001B)
Ladder LG0001 [F0-B3] (T123B2)
Tray TSL123 [G1tray0 - G16tray18] (G03tr18)
manufacturer tag [G (G&A), P (MiPot), L (Laben)]
type tag [T (Top), B (Bottom), G (Glast), S (SuperGlast), E (Empty)]
+ manufacturer tag [G (G&A), P (MiPot), L (Laben)]
now officially in CyberDocs as LAT-TD-00376

3. Updated naming convention
reasons for extra tags :
necessary to uniquely identify parts from different suppliers and of different types
parts-basic information included in names
offer a built-in-the-name selection rule for parts assembly (can be broken!)
implementation in db:
new tags kept in different fields to enable separate queries on each tag
parts names are displayed with extra tags in user interface
multiple primary keys now necessary
relationship and masks revised to include new keys

4. Interfaces Other institutions in the tracker collaboration:
good feeling for our prototype after august collaboration
meeting – could become a common solution which would
simplify data transfer
enquiry about data migration to Oracle (SLAC
integration DB): partial vs comprehensive (through SQL
server?) data migration
User interface
added list of parts
masks can now be opened in Add (blank) or Edit mode
(view) to speed up data retrieval

5. Interfaces Web interface
new IIS server (glastserver.pi.infn.it) installed
DB is working on new server
new queries available
Interface to instruments
lab tests controlled with LabView
lab measurements output will flow directly in DB:
output stored to temporary Excel files (spreadsheet format)
a call from LabView (from NI library) activates an import macro in DB which gets data from spreadsheet

6. Breaking news (no panic!)
704 SSDs (22 batches) received 9 October from Japan
lots of measurements to take, lots of data to store DB
already lots of feedback from real data!
Manufacturer data:
batches info and sample test data from HPK inserted
shipping information added
Production statistics study begun:
efficient data manipulation to import manufacturer data
revise data structure to include all man. data
work on queries to reorganize/extract relevant data
work on graphics display
…… a crucial test is underway!
