Updating the Babar CondDB

Just as for Setting up a BaBar Objectivity Server you need access to an up to date version of the full BaBar software and login access to a management (not root) account on a machine at the hosting site.

• Download the latest dated snapshot from /nfs/objyserv04/objy/databases/snapshots/forSP8/ at SLAC to a local directory.
• cd to the current DB management test release, if it's too out of date create a new test release with the current release, it must be of the same series as the CondDB 14- for Cond14Boot, 16- for Cond16Boot and 18- for SP8 and Cond18Boot.
• Set up the release

srtpath

• Set up the Database. If the site has two copies of the database edit the .bbobjy file to point to the one not in production

setboot

• Check it's the DB you expect:

CdbManager status

• Delete the old database:

gmake database.delete CONFIRM_DELETE=yes

• Set up the new database:

gmake database.config
gmake database.import LICENSEFILE=<path to the license file on local of AFS (not NFS) disk>
gmake database.load BYPASS_CONDITIONS_LOAD=yes BYPASS_CONFIG_LOAD=yes
gmake database.load SNAPSHOT_DIR=<path to the downloaded CondDB snapshot>

• Make sure the schema is up to date:

klog <slac username>
ooschemaupgrade -infile /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/babar/Bdb/Reference/current/schema.dmp $OO_FD_BOOT
