l4aStageGUI  -  GUI For Staging Procedure

Introduction

          l4aStageGUI is intended to copy daq and dst files from the OSM Robot
     (currently /acs/data/) to the stage disk (currently /hb/stage/) and remove files
     from the stage disk and also to get some information about existing runs, files
     and stage disk. This GUI is implemented as a Java application.
 

• Description

 
    The left window of GUI is a stage disk window.
The right window is a /hb/www/doc/subgroup/shiftinfo/herab/runlog/
directory window where information about all existing runs and files
can be found.

    Single click: on an entry of window  - to change window.
    Double click: on a directory              - to open that directory,
                           on a file                        - to view the content of file.
                           on [Up to Parent]         - to change to the parent directory.

  To copy files, one has to fill in the following fields:
       1. Run number
       2. Numbers of files
       3. Type of file ( daq/dst default=daq, test/real default=real)
       4. Detector component name.

  Only "Run number" is mandatory.
  Numbers of files must be separated by commas. If there are not
  filled numbers of files, the first five files of the run will be copied.
  To copy files from number n1 to n2 one should type n1-n2, where
   n1 and n2 are existing file numbers and n1 must be less than n2.
  To copy all files of the run 0 (zero) should be put in.
  Finally - click on the "Stage" button.

            Removing files from the stage disk
