Restore RunLog Browser

If the Run Log Browser is not Updating...

  1. make sure all options are selected and deselect "filter bad"
    often - people will complain about missing runs and they are just not selected
  2. Call DB EXPERT: 349-2257
  3. Check onldb.star.bnl.gov
    • log onto node as stardb (password known by Michael, Wayne, Jerome, Gene)
    • df -k ( make sure a disk did not fill) - If it did: cd into the appropriate data directory (i.e. /mysqldata00/Run_7/port_3501/mysql/data) and copy /dev/null into the large log file onldb.starp.bnl.gov.log
      `cp /dev/null > onldb.starp.bnl.gov.log`
    • make sure back-end runlog DAEMON is running
      1. execute /online/production/database/Run_7/dbSenders/bin/runWrite.sh status
        Running should be returned
      2. restart deamon - execute /online/production/database/Run_7/dbSenders/bin/runWrite.sh start
        Running should be returned
      3. if Not Running is returned there is a problem with the code or with daq
        1. contact DAQ expert to check their DB sender system
        2. refer to the next section below as to debugging/modifying recompiling code
  4. Make sure Database is running
    • mysql -S /tmp/mysql.3501.sock
    • To restart db
      1. cd to /online/production/database/config
      2. execute `mysql5.production start 3501`
      3. try to connect
  5. debug/modify Daemon Code (be careful and log everything you do)
    • check log file at /online/production/database/Run_7/dbSenders/run this may point to an obvious problem
    • Source code is located in /online/production/database/Run_7/dbSenders/online/Condition/run
    • GDB is not Available usless the code is recompiled NOT as a daemon
      1. COPY Makefile_debug to Makefile (remember to copy Makefile_good back to Makefile when finished)
      2. setenv DAEMON RunLogSender
      3. make
    • executable is at /online/production/database/Run_7/dbSenders/bin
    • gdb RunLog
