One year after FESA1, we have now: • A framework design and a Front End code fully supported by AB/CO/FC. • Deployment procedures entirely in AB/CO/FC’s hands. • Design and deployment data stored in ORACLE DB supported by AB/CO/DM. • A complete set of solid, efficient and coherent tools. • Documentation
BUT: • We cannot start like foreseen our developments on LEIR [basic timing facilities (~PTIM) not available] • Even with timing, it is not yet possible to do the BTVI for LEIR with the current functionality [Priority levels per action not supported, RT actions in parallel not possible]
BUT: • We cannot migrate BISCoTO/FESA1 SPS instruments toward FESA2 [work to support SPS legacy timing has not even started yet] • We cannot start PS consolidation (GM-Body eradication) with FESA 2 [basic timing facilities (~PTIM) not available, no GM Adaptor for FESA 2] • We cannot implement the ISOLDE Wire Scanners [No ‘User Command’ event sourceto send commands like ‘Make 20 consecutive scans’ to the RT Task]
BUT: • We could do it with FESA 1 but: • FESA 1 is not supported by CO (apart from well defined CMW issues) • Backward compatibility with FESA 1 user code has been neglected [different data structures, file names, method signatures, object names…]
Conclusions: • We still support and enjoy the framework, the team and the tools …But we are now stuck and waiting. • BDI invested and still invests a lot in FESA1 & FESA2. Don’t let us down. • Solve PS&SPS Timing and RT Tasks issues in the coming days [Ask for report next week]. • Port GM Adaptor to FESA 2 before Christmas now that it is working and fresh in our minds. • Fully support FESA 2 deployment, consolidation and adaptive maintenance.
