  1. Data collection (aka daemons)
  2. Data migration (online->online, online->offline)
  3. Monitoring (collectors status, migration status)

 Data collection topics:
 - tpcAnodeState daemon does not link properly (different from other daemons)
 - trgHighVoltage daemon : no Slow Control data, /admin/status.php hints last good date : 2004-11-03 19:57:09

 Data migration topics:
 - Global data flow chart? Who is responsible for what?
 - Online->online migration: is it only migrateDaqFileTags.pl (and how to operate it properly)?
 - Online->Offline migration: migration scripts missing ( aka /dbcron/macros ), documentation states it is located on onllinux6 (?)
 - what is db01.star.bnl.gov/trigger database and how it is filled with data (scripts, daemons)?

 Monitoring topics:
 - http://online.star.bnl.gov/admin/daemons.php relies on "running.txt", who's producing this file? How to control "values OK / Some stuck" and how to fix stuck values?
 - http://online.star.bnl.gov/admin/status.php ? I guess, we need to find offline migration macros first...
