Summary

• Class release.
• Jive/Astor - Who do what ?
• Events testing.
• Polling profiling.

3
Class release

• Problems
• Which device server release is running ?
• Which class(es) version is(are) used ?
• Could I know if this executable file the is
  expected one ?

4
Class release

• First idea
• Add a static const char TagName in
  MyServerClass.cpp file containing the CVS tag
  release.
• Append it to the string returned by get_info
  command on administrative device.
• Could be seen with ident command.

5
Class release

• Limits of this solution
• The device server source files must be deleted,
  re-checked out with rtag option and
  re-compiled after cvs tagging.
• In case of multiple classes, the command
• Ident grep Name returns
• Name Release_1_0
• Name Release_2_1
• Which classes ?
• Which is the first one ?

6
Class release

• Implemented solution
• Pogo generate a Makefile containing the
  possibility to do make tag after increasing
  release number.
• It does
• Cvs tag with class name and release number found
  in Makefile (i.e. Serial-Release_2_1).
• It patch the file with tag name
• (replacing rm cvs co rtag release_2_1
  my_module).
• It re-build the device server.
• The command ident grep Name returns
• Name HdbEventHandler-Release_1_0
  
• Name HdbAccess-Release_2_1

7
Class release

• Limits of this solution
• The Makefile must be updated by Pogo.
• A script file must be installed in PATH
• The release number must be modified by hand in
  the Makefile.

Jive/Astor - Who do what ?

• Problems
• What is the real borderline ?
• Device oriented / Server oriented is so clear ?
• Today, some features are available in the two
  tools.
• A new Feature must be implemented in Jive, in
  Astor or in both ?

11
Jive/Astor - Who do what ?

• New idea (to be discussed)
• The main function of Jive is database browsing.
• Jive is mainly used for multiple selected devices
  actions.
• Astor is mainly used for device server
  management.
• Astor manage devices served by the same device
  server.
• Conclusion
• Many features are implemented in both tools.
• Astor and Jive will use the same panels to do be
  more homogeneous.

12
Events testing

• Tango events are used by
• ATK components
• Astor
• ESRF hdb writer
• (hold archiving ESRF system interfaced with
  Tango).
• Eletra, Soleil.?
• How to check the event behaviour ?
• A generic event tester tool.
