The Journal Viewer

(Work in progress)

Overview

Contains information on the IBEX journal viewer

Setup journal parser on dev machine

1. Disable the slack call in the journal viewer program (comment out the call to sendSlackMessage in C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master\JournalParserApp\src\JournalParserSup.cpp). This is because we don't have slack keys on developer machines.
2. Ensure you have the following in your PATH environment variable:
   • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\pugixml\master\bin\windows-x64
   • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\curl\master\bin\windows-x64
   • C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\support\MySQL\master\bin\windows-x64
3. Make the journal parser: cd C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master && make clean && make
4. Run upgrade script in upgrade pull request, this will create the relevant SQL schema and users if it doesn't exist
5. Journal parser can be run as C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS\ISIS\JournalParser\master\bin\windows-x64\JournalParser.exe <Instrument Name> <Run Number> cycle_00_0 "C:\data" NDW<Instrument Name>
   • Change <Instrument Name> to the name of your instrument
   • Change <Run Number> to one that exists in C:\Data\Journal\journal_00_0.xml on your machine
   • Note that you need to prefix your instrument with "NDW" in the last argument as this will get stripped by the script
