Abstract

• The CRL is an electronic logbook used to capture
  control room activity.
• Rich feature set, mature application.
• Technologies Java, JSP, and XML

Status on Previous Goals

• Previous goals (presented 3/03)
• Deliver new features and bug fixes
• CRL app is now in low maintenance. Very few new
  releases, no new requests, very few complaints.
• Installation for CMS, BTeV and other new users
• CMS used CRL for the test beam. They liked it,
  especially being able to make entries at CERN and
  reading it here.
• BTeV low usage

Status on Previous Goals (cont)

• Remote access
• Technical difficulties with remote access via the
  CRL App. Instead redesigned the web interface
  (see next slide)
• Upgrade to the HEPBook
• Received 3 alpha releases
• Not a priority at this time. Let the experiments
  decide once it is production quality (April 04)

CRLW

• CRLW (CRL Web interface)
• Rewrite this summer. Much better, more
  functionality from the web, and easier to search
  and use.
• Motivation was not maintainable, each experiment
  was expected to maintain their own JSP pages.
• Installed at Minos and D0.
• Demo to CMS. MinibooNE is also ready to upgrade.
• Now in maturing mode, still get many good ideas
  from users that should be implemented.
• Takes pressure off to upgrade to HEPBook
