Installing the PVSS MC Control centre
- Log on as local administrator.
- Download PVSS 2.12.1 from: http://itcobe.web.cern.ch/itcobe/Services/Pvss/GettingStarted/welcome.html
- Run setup
- cd <installation_dir>/bin
where <installation_dir> is for example c:\etm\pvss2\2.12.1 for
windows or /localdisk/pvss/pvss_v2.12.1 for linux
- Run PVSStoolGetHW > outfile
- mail "outfile" to pvss.support@cern.ch,
asking for a new shield file
- put the shield file in <installation_dir>
- Extract the project file to
<project_dir> (in linux please use unzip -a
or tar -zxf )
where <project_dir> can be for example c:\ on windows or /localdisk on
linux
- Open <project_dir>/mccontrol/config/config and set pvss_path and
proj_path according to your settings: pvss_path = <installation_dir>
and proj_path = <project_dir>/mccontrol
- In Windows:
- Set the Environment Variable PVSS_II to <project_dir>\mccontrol\config\config
(in the Control Panel, System, Environment tab)
- Create a new shortcut (MCControlUI) on the desktop with target:
"PVSS00ctrl.exe -data lbnts2.cern.ch -event lbnts2.cern.ch
MCControlUI" and Start in: "C:\ETM\PVSS2\2.12.1\bin"
In Linux:
- Create a script containing the following:
setenv OS Linux
setenv PVSS_II <project_dir>/mccontrol/config/config
setenv PVSS_SYSTEM_ROOT <installation_dir>
setenv PATH $PVSS_SYSTEM_ROOT/bin:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $PVSS_SYSTEM_ROOT/bin
PVSS00ctrl -data lbnts2.cern.ch -event lbnts2.cern.ch MCControlUI &
- From then on to start the monitoring: on windows just open the shortcut
(BAT file also provided), on linux execute the script.
