The Journal Viewer

(Work in progress)

Overview

Contains information on the IBEX journal viewer

Setup journal parser on dev machine

• Disable the slack call in the journal viewer program (comment out the call to sendSlackMessage in C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master\JournalParserApp\src\JournalParserSup.cpp). This is because we don't have slack keys on developer machines. -Ensure you have the following in your PATH environment variable:
  • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\pugixml\master\bin\windows-x64
  • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\curl\master\bin\windows-x64
  • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\MySQL\master\bin\windows-x64
• Make the journal parser: cd C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master && make clean && make
• Run upgrade script in upgrade pull request, this will create the relevant SQL schema and users if it doesn't exist
• Journal parser can be run as C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master\bin\windows-x64\JournalParser.exe <Instrument Name> <Run Number> cycle_00_0 "C:\data" NDW<Instrument Name>
  • Change <Instrument Name> to the name of your instrument
  • Change <Run Number> to one that exists in C:\Data\Journal\journal_00_0.xml on your machine
  • Note that you need to prefix your instrument with "NDW" in the last argument as this will get stripped by the script
