  27   01 Apr 2019, 10:29 ITDM AdminGeneralInformationrunning jdd panels in control rooms

​​​​​On all PCs in the control rooms including BKR and also on the exflgateway there is a new version of jddd installed which is working with openjdk-11.
It is worth to mention that the old javaws from old oracle java 8 is deprecated and it is not recommended running jddd panels using old way, like
javaws jddd-run.jnlp

The recommended way, is to run it on the control PC (if you are in the control room), you don't need to login to exflgateway and start it there anymore, although this is also possible.

To start a svn repository selection window just run
jddd-run

To start a panel of a given name from http repository just type for instance
jddd-run -http XFELMainTaskbar.xml

To start a panel from svn repository just type for instance
jddd-run -file XFELMainTaskbar.xml

  • Exapod control vs data policy issue (also affecting HED and SPB, as well as other components). The exapod control implementation via Beckhoff requires time and is planned for the end of April. For the time being SPB and MID control the exapods via software. This make somewhat difficult to store all the data in the correct way and is not fullfilling the data policy. PSPO will report the issue to TT. At this stage a reshuffling of priorities to speed up the HW implementation seems not to help, since it is anyway planned for end of April.

  • A power supply was switched off by AE and found on again the next day despite a sign put on the device. This should not happen. SRP advices, in similar cases, also to add a contact of the person who switched off the device for safety reasons.
  • XS5000 controller in SCS issue. SRP clarifies that everybody must act in case of clear danger (e.g. preventig the access to a particular area). In this case, it was OK that UB and TS prevented the access to the SCS laser hutch to other people before the controller was put in a safe state.  Having said that, the responsibility lies with the scientific group operating the device.
