LHCb Book-keeping

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

Accessing the book-keeping

To access the book-keeping, you must have installed a valid grid certificate (How?). On lxplus, type the command lhcb_bkk. You will be prompted for your certificate password, after which the Feicim book-keeping GUI will be launched. A tutorial on using the book-keeping GUI was given on 15th June 2009 (see slides).

If you have installed the certificate in your web browser, you can also access the book-keeping web interface. This has slightly reduced functionality compared to the Feicim GUI.
