2. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 2 Topics  Database Format(s)  Available Content  Missing Content  Content Producers  Tools  Content Consumers  Management Strategy

3. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 3 Database Format(s)  XML representation –.catc /.cath files in CVS repository of each FSW constituent. –engineering-unit (EGU) conversions in LATTE schemata  Python representation –class definitions for each command & telemetry mnemonic, part of FSW's “VPI” package.  Oracle representation –Set of relational tables in SLACDEV / SLACPROD Oracle instances.  Flat-file representation –Text files with “.dbx” file extension. –Format (theoretically) governed by DFCD. –LAT deliverable to GLAST project.

4. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 4 Available Content  Record types (with dbx monicker): –Subsystem names for grouping mnemonics (ssi) –Telemetry mnemonics (tlm) –Analog polynomial EU conversions (alg) –Discrete EU conversions (dsc) –Arbitrary EU conversions (xpr) look-up table generated from a mathematical expression –Limits on mnemonic values (lim) –Attributes of CCSDS telemetry packets (map) –Associations of packet contents to mnemonics (pkt) –Command mnemonics (cmd) –User-specified command data fields (fld) –Discrete values for command data fields (sub)

5. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 5 Missing Content  Command functional verifications / responses  Telemetry mnemonic units (determined by EU conversion algorithm)  Default telemetry “presentation” format –How to represent the mnemonic value for display –Something like FORTRAN formatted-io specifier (“F6.2”), or C printf format specifier (“%6.2f”)  EU-to-raw conversions for command mnemonic data fields.

6. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 6 Content Producers  Flight Software –telemetry & command mnemonic definitions –database content intimately tied to FSW code –records derived from XML representation  Subsystems / Systems –Ground limits –Command functional verifications –LAT direct / hardware telemetry mnemonics –Engineering unit conversions  CHS –“Derived” records (map, ssi) –“Value Added” tlm / cmd mnemonics Alternative representations to assist operations

7. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 7 Tools  LCAT (maintained by FSW) –generates flat-file and Python representations from XML representation. –also generates C-language structure definitions for FSW  dbxodb (GOTS ITOS component) –compiles.dbx files into a form directly usable by ITOS. –can generate HTML documentation of.dbx content  mkdb.sh (maintainted by CHS) –wrapper script for dbxodb that generates missing map/pkt/tlm/ssi records and merges ISOC “value-added” content with FSW-supplied content  useDbx.py (maintained by CHS) –generates SQL statements to insert.dbx content into Oracle

8. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 8 Content Consumers  FSW –C structures from LCAT compiled into FSW constituents  FSW Test –Python representation from LCAT used by LTX script engine  I&T Online –Python representation from LCAT used by LATTE5  CHS –flat-file representation used to “stoke” Oracle representation and configure local ITOS installations –Oracle representation used for CHS monitoring, Mission Planning, Timeline Reconciliation, etc.  MOC –flat-file representation used to configure ITOS for all LAT operations

9. GLAST LAT ProjectT&C Database Management, 1 July 2005 9 Strategy  CHS team is focal point for integrating database content and delivering updates.  Need to evolve tools and processes for: –Entering redlines to contents –Generating and tracking database releases
