Assessment of Online Software (2)

Miscellaneous issues and suggestions

• Partitioning: (not) running subpartitions within a single TTC partition?
• Interactions between RC and local triggers for calibrations
• Database schema: organisation and support
• Storing local DAQ configuration/calibration data into offline conditions database
• More user friendly editing tools (XML is promising)
• Version control/logging of changes: log changes made to database files by trigger ``experts''? Eg CVS connection from OKS editors?
• Support for distributed histogramming (Calo trigger currently intending to use a ROOT based package from CDF)
• Extensibility of Event Dump to decode subdetector specific ROD fragments
• Utility Event class (C++) to find/iterate over event fragments
• Not all Online component APIs are yet available in Java...
