<strong>TMCDB</strong><br />
ALMA Telescope Monitor and Configur<strong>at</strong>ion DB<br />
Pablo Burgos<br />
ALMA
Motiv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
ALMA will be the most complex telescope th<strong>at</strong> has ever<br />
been built by human kind<br />
Large number of antennas and<br />
hardware components<br />
Complex in terms of<br />
High D<strong>at</strong>a R<strong>at</strong>es involved<br />
High Processing Power<br />
... for naming a few ...<br />
Daily Oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
2 Pablo Burgos – November 2428, 2008
In terms of software oper<strong>at</strong>ion ALMA<br />
is complex too...<br />
66<br />
St<strong>at</strong>ic Components: FLOOG, LORR, LO2 x4, PSA, PSD etc = 40<br />
components per<br />
antenna<br />
2640 st<strong>at</strong>ic components whole Array<br />
Components from other subsystems ARCHIVE,<br />
Correl<strong>at</strong>or,TELCAL etc<br />
Dynamic components<br />
More than 100 containers<br />
More than 3000 entities th<strong>at</strong> needs Configur<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Monitoring, Startup and Deployment info<br />
Big<br />
Problem<br />
3 Pablo Burgos – November 2428, 2008
<strong>TMCDB</strong> has been design to be the<br />
answer to this problem<br />
Main TMDCB Design Goal: Simplify ALMA Software Oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
By means of<br />
Providing interfaces to persist/store/retrieve<br />
d<strong>at</strong>a needed for configuring, initializing,<br />
monitoring and deploying of software<br />
modules for telescope oper<strong>at</strong>ion, tracking<br />
this inform<strong>at</strong>ion over lifetime of ALMA<br />
project<br />
4 Pablo Burgos – November 2428, 2008
<strong>TMCDB</strong> is not....<br />
... a maintenance d<strong>at</strong>abase<br />
Btw, maintenance d<strong>at</strong>abases are meant to:<br />
Keep Maintenance schedules and its<br />
history<br />
Part and suppliers<br />
Vendors inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
5 Pablo Burgos – November 2428, 2008
Objetives<br />
To understand the motiv<strong>at</strong>ion for <strong>TMCDB</strong> design and<br />
the driving forces shaping its development<br />
To understand the <strong>TMCDB</strong> role, and how its design<br />
fits on the overall ALMA system<br />
Have a grasp on the current architecture design<br />
To realize about current development st<strong>at</strong>us<br />
To know how to activ<strong>at</strong>e and play <strong>at</strong> home with it :)<br />

Handles inform<strong>at</strong>ion about Base Elements and which of<br />
them are online (BaseElementOnline)<br />
A BaseElement is one set of high level structures th<strong>at</strong><br />
makes up the ALMA Telescope. They may contain<br />
assemblies, arranged in groups<br />
Base Elements examples: Antenna, Pad, FrontEnd, We<strong>at</strong>her<br />
St<strong>at</strong>ion, Correl<strong>at</strong>or, Central Rack, Holography Tower and Array<br />

This layer is where most development time will be needed in the<br />
future<br />
ObOps is on charge of this.<br />
Currently they are working on the <strong>TMCDB</strong> Configur<strong>at</strong>ion Tool<br />

Conclusions<br />
All 4 <strong>TMCDB</strong> sections, Configur<strong>at</strong>ion, Monitoring, Startup<br />
and SW Deployment are the response to the different use<br />
cases expected <strong>at</strong> ALMA project<br />
<strong>TMCDB</strong> is the answer to ease the oper<strong>at</strong>ion of the ALMA Telescope<br />
