9.2 Setting up the IS meta-information repository

In order to make the IS type descriptions available at run-time one has to setup properly the IS meta-information repository. This can be done in two ways as it is explained below.

One way of setting up the IS meta-information repository is to run manually the RDB server application using the following command line:

> rdb_server -p MyPartition -d ISRepository -S [[xml_file]...]

The -d switch defines the database name that must always be the "ISRepository" for the IS meta-information server. The -S parameter defines a list of the XML files which contain IS informations definition.

Another possibility is to set the TDAQ_IS_REPOSITORY environment variable to the colon separated list of the XML files which contain IS informations definition and then to use the standard Online Software procedure for starting a partition.

> export TDAQ_IS_REPOSITORY=[[xml_file]:...]

> play_daq MyPartition
