JODA: Java Oriented Device Access

Replacement project of old NODAL Tools using JAVAFX.

In the past, all detectors and hardware such as HV systems, actuators etc. could be accessed va the VMS based NODAL system. As VMS is going to be outphased, the NODAL environment will be shut off as well. As a basic replacement CSCO has prepared the Prophelper software. In addition several tools have been prepared to read and access selected infos or hardware. There is no plan from CSCO to port the NODAL tools into the Python based environment.

A lot of info can be found here:

*“command on asl” means: the command somebody has to type on the asl to start the program. A startup script is installed in the bin directory of all LOBI users. So typing of this command name is enough to start the program.

Note: all NODAL programs mentioned here are in the SVN

Directory to copy the contents of the NetBeans jnlp folder to: /common/usr/lobi/htdocs/applications/pneudrive/current


Deployment on asl

After a “Clean and Build” in NetBeans, copy the contents of the <projectName>/target/jnlp/ folder to the asl to:
/common/usr/lobi/htdocs/applications/<projectName>/<version>

Create a link named “current” to the latest version, e.g. for version 1.0.3:

ln -s 1.0.3 current

At the location

/common/usr/lobi/bin/

another link should be created to start the application easily:

ln -s  /common/usr/lobi/htdocs/applications/pneudrive/current/bin/PneuDrives.sh pla

Please note: For the Trafo program (dti) no link but a short bash script was created. The reason is, that a text file with all devices is read in the Java code and it needs to be started from a specific directory to avoid file-path-hell.


For the main control room the applications are located an asl330:
Please note: on the asl330 the script for starting the application is located in the folder with the src/lib folders. So when we copy a new version, this script needs to be copied from an existing folder to the new one.

/common/usr/lobi/dti
