Comprehensive Update on Tango's Diagnostic Tools, Event Testing, and Class Releases

This summary provides an overview of updates and enhancements to Tango's diagnostic tools, including configuration changes in class releases, polling profiling, and event testing functionalities. Key issues addressed include identifying running device server releases, executable file verification, and the implementation of new features in Jive and Astor. Notably, it discusses the use of a Makefile generated by Pogo for managing class release tags and how this can streamline the development process. Insights into the functionalities and interrelations of Jive and Astor tools are also highlighted.

  1. TANGONew Diagnostic ToolsandApplication Updates

  2. Summary • Class release. • Jive/Astor - Who do what ? • Events testing. • Polling profiling.

  3. Class release • Problems: • Which device server release is running ? • Which class(es) version is(are) used ? • Could I know if this executable file the is expected one ?

  4. Class release • First idea: • Add a“static const char *TagName»in MyServerClass.cpp file containing the CVS tag release. • Append it to the string returned by get_info command on administrative device. • Could be seen with ident command.

  5. Class release • Limits of this solution: • The device server source files must be deleted, re-checked out with rtag option and re-compiled after cvs tagging. • In case of multiple classes, the command: Ident | grep Name returns: $Name: Release_1_0 $ $Name: Release_2_1 $ Which classes ? Which is the first one ?

  6. Class release • Implemented solution: • Pogo generate a Makefile containing the possibility to do “make tag” after increasing release number. • It does: • Cvs tag with class name and release number found in Makefile (i.e. Serial-Release_2_1). • It patch the file with tag name (replacing “rm *; cvs co rtag release_2_1 my_module). • It re-build the device server. • The command “ident | grep Name” returns: $Name: HdbEventHandler-Release_1_0 $ $Name: HdbAccess-Release_2_1 $

  7. Class release • Limits of this solution: • The Makefile must be updated by Pogo. • A script file must be installed in $PATH • The release number must be modified by hand in the Makefile.

  10. Jive/Astor - Who do what ? • Problems: • What is the real borderline ? Device oriented / Server oriented is so clear ? • Today, some features are available in the two tools. • A new Feature must be implemented in Jive, in Astor or in both ?

  11. Jive/Astor - Who do what ? • New idea (to be discussed): • The main function of Jive is database browsing. • Jive is mainly used for multiple selected devices actions. • Astor is mainly used for device server management. • Astor manage devices served by the same device server. • Conclusion: • Many features are implemented in both tools. • Astor and Jive will use the same panels to do be more homogeneous.

  12. Events testing • Tango events are used by: • ATK components • Astor • ESRF hdb writer (hold archiving ESRF system interfaced with Tango). • Eletra, Soleil….? • How to check the event behaviour ? • A generic event tester tool.
