Configuration Database

Murrough Landon - 15 March 2000

Existing Database Formats

• Old DAQ uses C structure saved as binary data
• Diagnostics uses Tcl script
• HDMC uses formatted text file
• ATLAS DAQ will use OO database
• Would like to move to one scheme!

Inputs

• Erics list of configuration data
• Existing DAQ -1 database schema
• HDMC class model

Objectives

• Extend/modify DAQ -1 schema for our classes
• Additional schema of level 1 specific classes
• Define Data Access Library (DAL) to read DB objects into runtime objects (different classes)
• All beautifully documented, reviewed etc!
