SCT Part Numbers and DB • Part numbers: • 2022028mnnnnnn • 20: ATLAS • 22: SCT • 028: NIKHEF (033 for RAL) • m: • =0: • Scratch parts, prototypes, tests, mistakes… • =1: • Sandra for modules etc (NIKHEF) • Debbie for Endcap mech. (RAL) • =2: • Patrick for discs etc. (NIKHEF) • Andy Nichols for Barrel mechs. (RAL) • Use as primary key in all DB’s • Seems OK to me N.P. Hessey, NIKHEF
DB • Purpose • Store test results • Parts inventory • Shipping/location record • Component history • Hold “actual items” • Not drawings, does not alter EDMS/CDD use • But an item can point to relevant CDD/EDMS docs • Central DB? • Didn’t happen • Could not agree ATLAS-wide • Did not find person/institute to do it • Geneva “SCT Production DB” is really • “SCT Module Production DB” • Didier would put discs and wheels in at a simple level • Is reluctant, would be difficult to get all we need N.P. Hessey, NIKHEF
Alternatives to Geneva DB • Local DB’s • NIKHEF + RAL + Liverpool… • Easy for NIKHEF to implement • Muon model: 3 DB’s • Stock Inventory DB + • Items for ATLAS with test results etc. + • Reject items • Presumably RAL and Liverpool can also do that? • Problems: • Triplicate set-up overheads • RAL needs access to NIKHEF DB etc. • Disc created at NIKHEF then goes to RAL • NIKHEF loses track of it • RAL needs original data • And repeat problem when moving to Liverpool, SR, ATLAS Pit • Information distributed over many (incoherent) DB’s N.P. Hessey, NIKHEF
Or can we improve on this? • E.g. NIKHEF makes a central “Disc Production DB” • Would RAL and Liverpool prefer that? • What about Cylinders, Wings, services, etc.? • Can we arrange easy/secure access for RAL, Liverpool… • Is MS Access enough or do we need Oracle… • Linux access? E.g. wheel DAQ is Linux • Default is NIKHEF will make DB like Muons • Fast to start • Easy for us to adjust with experience • Later can shift to a central DB N.P. Hessey, NIKHEF
