Totem Offline Database Monitor

TOTODAM application is a Java application for the Totem Offline Software Database. Its goal is to provide graphical interface to inspect the content of the offline database. Its structure reflects the way it is used by the Totem Offline Software, which bases on the validity intervals of the data. The same approach is presented in the TOTODAM application. Therefore it allows to preview any kind of non-event data stored in the offline database the same way as this data is used by the reconstruction process. It also allows to decide on the input that the reconstruction process will receive from the database.

Changes

Made in 2010

In order to meet new requirements connected with storing data from LHC Logging Database, the following changes in schema have bee made:

• Added startTime and endTime fields in table T3_ValidityInterval to give the possibility of defining IOV not only by event number but also by timestamp
• Added align_column_description field in table T5_Alignments together with new data type Alignment_Vector_Labels in order to store labels of alignment values from table T1_DetectorAlignment
• Added measurementSingleUnit field in table T15_MeasurementType in order to give the possibility of storing single unit instead of whole Oracle arrays
• Added measurementSingleValue fields int tables T16_SensorPartMeasurements, T17_StructElementMeasurement and T18_GeneralMeasurement in order to give the possibility of storing single value instead of whole Oracle arrays
