Since April 98 a common effort between Manchester and Geneva has started. We defined a common DB scheme allowing to work either on OMNIS on PC or Macintosh (See Manchester page) or on a web browser (Geneva concept) and java applications.

The Manchester effort has now stopped in July 2001 (Decision agreed in the SG meeting).

The Oracle table trigger mechanism is well understood and will be used to resolve some data dependancy problem across different tables.

26th November 1998 The security concept (3 levels) for the WEB is set and is working well.
level 1 : objects owner
level 2 : packages owner
level 3 : institut user

The two first modules MFR and LOCN are generated from D2000 and installed in a secure Oracle user (level 2).
The end user (level 3 : institut user) can execute the modules stored in the user level 2. These two PL/SQL modules are working well against the owner of the tables (level 1).

20th November 1998 Outcome of the discussion for defining some additional TEST entities.
13th November 1998 Outcome of the discussion during SCT week (J. Foster, P. Demierre, D. Ferrere).


26 October 1998, database communication test from a java client application to the new academic database server succesfull.

21 October 1998, the Designer tool Designer2000 (used to design and build the database objects and the application modules) has been upgraded from version 1.x to 2.1 .
Old design objects have been upgraded to the new Designer 2000 tool. The application modules must be generated again before use.

11 October 1998, The database used to hold the WEB Atlas SCT application at the university of Geneva has been moved from the old Sun sparc 2 workstation to the new Sun Enterprise 450 Academic server.

The SCT Oracle DB of Geneva will be upgraded in mid of October on a new SUN Server. This machine will be more powerful and the last versions Oracle 8 and Oracle Application Server 4.0 will be installed.

When this new DB server of the computing support of the University of Geneva will be available, 2 versions of the DB will be set. One for the developpers (Manchester and Geneva) and the other one to put to the test and accessible to all the collaborators.

A Java application have been developped to allow the upload of the data from any external file to the DB (See navigation panel).

According to this data upload facility, Labview can directly run this application to fill a data sheet in the DB thanks to a vi named Exec.vi. At least it works on platform like PC, HP unix and Sun. This is not possible on Macintosh but it could be done anyway externally from a working directory.

On the web DB concept an user account will be set per institute. This will allow the person who add a new entry into DB to be the only one who can update or delete it.
