Detailed Description

The macro for testing the shuttle preprocessors.

This macro runs the test preprocessor for MUON. It uses AliTestShuttle to simulate a full Shuttle process

You must load relevant libraries (besides normal MUON ones -which is done easily by executing root from the $ALICE_ROOT/MUON directory to use the rootlogon.C there) before compiling this macro :

gSystem->Load("$ALICE_ROOT/SHUTTLE/TestShuttle/libTestShuttle");
gSystem->Load("libMUONshuttle");

Last line above assume you have $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/lib/tgt_[arch] (where libMUONshuttle is located) in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Having $ALICE_ROOT/SHUTTLE/TestShuttle directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X) won't hurt either...

You must also make a link of some OCDB entries to have the mapping loaded correctly :

cd $ALICE_ROOT/SHUTTLE/TestShuttle/TestCDB
mkdir -p MUON/Calib
cd MUON/Calib
ln -si $ALICE_ROOT/OCDB/MUON/Calib/MappingData .

and Align/Baseline if you'd like to test GMS subprocessor :

cd $ALICE_ROOT/SHUTTLE/TestShuttle/TestCDB
mkdir -p MUON/Align
cd MUON/Align
ln -si $ALICE_ROOT/OCDB/MUON/Align/Baseline .

The input data has to be created first by other processes (or is created here by CreateDCSAliasMap() for tracker HV).

To play with it, you'll have to set/modify several lines, to

• a) select input files, using shuttle->AddInputFile()
• b) select run type, using shuttle->AddInputRunParameter() (the run type dictates which task is really performed by the MUONPreprocessor

The sourceDirectory is there to "emulate" what the real preprocessor will find on the FXS, and is assumed to have the following structure :

CONFIG/
   LDC0.config
   LDC1.config
   LDC2.config
   LDC3.config
GAINS/
   LDC0.gain
   LDC1.gain
   LDC2.gain
   LDC3.gain
GMS/
   GMS.root
OCCUPANCY/
   mch.occupancy
PEDESTALS/
   LDC0.ped
   LDC1.ped
   LDC2.ped
   LDC3.ped
   LDC4.conf
CONFIG/
   LDC0.conf
   LDC1.conf
   LDC2.conf
   LDC3.conf
   LDC4.conf
TRIGGER/
   ExportedFiles.dat (mandatory)
   MtgGlobalCrate-1.dat
   MtgLocalLut-1.dat
   MtgLocalMask-1.dat
   MtgRegionalCrate-1.dat

IMPORTANT: The trigger files have to be present in order for the algorithm to work correctly. If you want to test the Trigger DCS maps only, but you don't have the .dat trigger files, you have to create dummy files through :

cd sourceDirectory/TRIGGER
echo -e "MtgLocalMask-1.dat\nMtgRegionalCrate-1.dat\nMtgGlobalCrate-1.dat\nMtgLocalLut-1.dat" > ExportedFiles.dat
touch MtgLocalMask-1.dat MtgRegionalCrate-1.dat MtgGlobalCrate-1.dat MtgLocalLut-1.dat

For more information on usage, please see the README_shuttle page.

TMap* CreateDCSAliasMap	(	const char *	inputCDB,
		Int_t	runNumber
	)

Create a fake DCS alias map.

Creates a DCS structure for MUON Tracker HV and Trigger DCS and Currents

The structure is the following: TMap (key –> value) <DCSAlias> –> <valueList> <DCSAlias> is a string <valueList> is a TObjArray of AliDCSValue An AliDCSValue consists of timestamp and a value in form of a AliSimpleValue
