Status report SOLEIL April 2008 ICALEPS 2005

Our problems are changing

What do we have to manage today The Accelerator which is in routine operation About 10 beamlines which have external users and are also in routine operation About 5 beamlines which are in the installation or commissioning phases ICALEPS 2005

The challenges are now different New features are requested by Machine and Beamlines But They should not impact production system !! How to keep things extensible , flexible but robust How to solve the « Open/Close paradigm » ? ICALEPS 2005

How to keep things manageable ?

Our vision to keep things manageable are still the same Standardize software !! At the component level Device GUI Components GUI applications Process (or sequence) component Let Machine or Beamline assemble themself the components Through GlobalSCREEN fot GUI construction Or Through Passerelle for Process oriented task ICALEPS 2005

Process & calculation devices Intégration dans GBS: des applications java Des composants métiers BossaNova Java applications : Passerelle : moteur d’exécution des séquences Séquence xxx Séquence EScan salsa mambo Device DNA Device Device Niveau 3 Chooch ISPyB TANGO Process & calculation devices Devices Device Niveau 2 Equipment and subsystem devices Device Device Hardware access devices Niveau 1

How to fiabilize software components Have as many users of them as possible ! The same version of all software components are installed everywhre at SOLEIL during each shutdown It helps us on the support side See figures later ICALEPS 2005

Successes and difficulties

Standardisation at the Dservers is a success Successes Standardisation at the Dservers is a success Many Dservers shared between Machine and BL or between Bls About 250 Dservers are in production Standardisation of application is in many cases a real success For example SALSA is used on 90% of the Beamlines And by the way NeXus file format is now a de facto standard for data file format at SOLEIL Idem for MAMBO, BENSIKIN, etc .. ICALEPS 2005

Standardisation at GUI Components level Successes Standardisation at GUI Components level Almost 40 GlobalSCREEN application routinely used With a «standardized » look and feel ICALEPS 2005

Application standardisation

Interventions Astreintes ICA (hors heures ouvrables) pendant le Run 1 En moyenne: 2, 25 interventions par semaine Contre 3,25 interventions par semaine en janvier et 4,5 interventions/semaine au run de décembre A noter que 4 interventions sur 9 sont en réalité des problèmes équipements et pas informatiques 13

En moyenne: 6,6 interventions par semaine Interventions Permanence ICA (pendant heures ouvrables) pendant le Run 2 En moyenne: 6,6 interventions par semaine 14

What are we doing ?

Project management, coordination, project management, coordination, … Difficulties Project management, coordination, project management, coordination, … Phasing our development with Beamline or Machine test periods ICALEPS 2005

The next phase : Integration at high level

Application intégrée : Exemple sur TEMPO Supervision et contrôle des équipements Acquisition pour les expériences de Photo-emission Résonnante Suivi des données en cours de stockage Réglage de l’échantillon

Application intégrée : Exemple sur TEMPO Configuration de la séquence d’acquisition Suivi du déroulement de l’acquisition Visualisation des données en cours d’acquisition
