LHCb Book-keeping

This page collects links to information about the LHCb book-keeping system.

Accessing the book-keeping

If you have installed the certificate in your web browser, you can also access the book-keeping web interface. Note that some browsers may flag the book-keeping web interface as not secure and block you from accessing it; you will have to add an exception. In Firefox, this means clicking the lock icon to the left of the URL and following the instructions.

Note: The access of the Book-keeping from lxplus is no longer supported. You can still can access to the Book-keeping from Ganga. All the missing functionalities are implemented in the web user interface. A tutorial on using the book-keeping GUI was given on 15th June 2009 (see slides).
