PCSS Setup 

= 1 Default Setup =
When logging in into pacs@pacsqla the default setup is :


PCSS
{{{
/home/pacs> printenv PCSS_ROOT
        /home/pacs/pcss-20071017B-frozen
This version is with the old PlotHk and QLA and shall work.
}}}

PIB
{{{
                        !!! Attention !!!
The PIB (MIB conversion used in PCSS) is always located in the
most up to date pcss installation :
/home/pacs/pcss/data/pib
Currently this is : 20080725A
Here you also find the /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersion.tbl

This way we may use any PCSS installation - but it refer always to the most up to date PIB.
Normally we shall survive the test with it.
}}}

=2 Switching between Nominal and Redundant =

We have a few convenience commands :

 * setNominal 
   which is doing : cp /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions-Nominal.tbl /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions.tbl

 * setRedundant
   which is doing : cp /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions-Redundant.tbl /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions.tbl

 * showTmVersions
   which is doing : cat /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions.tbl

 * editTmversions
   which is doing : emacs /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib/TmVersions.tbl

= 3 Switching the PCSS Version =
{{{
!! The setup always apply to the window where you execute the commands !!

setPcssVersion  <directory>
e.g. setPcssVersion pcss-20060929A

Now you are using a new PCSS in this window 
But still your PIB (incl. TmVersions.tbl) is /home/pacs/pcss/data/pib !!
}}}


The listing of the setPCSSVersion tool (just as reference)
{{{
if ( $# == 0 ) then
    echo Give PCSS versions as argument
    exit
endif
#
cp /home/pacs/.pcss/props-original /home/pacs/.pcss/props_$1
sed -i 's/var.pcss.dir=/#var.pcss.dir=/' /home/pacs/.pcss/props_$1
#
set date_fields=`date`
echo $date_fields
echo "#"   $date_fields >>   /home/pacs/.pcss/props_$1
echo var.pcss.dir=/home/pacs/$1 >>  /home/pacs/.pcss/props_$1
echo hcss.binstruct.pib=/home/pacs/pcss/data/pib >> /home/pacs/.pcss/props_$1

setenv HCSS_PROPS ${HCSS_PROPS}:/home/pacs/.pcss/props_${1}
echo " "
echo " "
echo "..... Setup : " $1 " finished ......"
echo " "
exit
}}}

= *4 For experts, you may do a few more additional checks* =
{{{
printenv HCSS_PROPS
jide -settings | grep var.pcss
jide -settings | grep pib
}}}

= 5 For experts again, updating the ~/pcss/pib directory =

{{{
set pibRoot=~/pcss-20080825A
rm -r ~/pcss/data/pib
cp -a ${pibRoot}/data/pib ~/pcss/data/pib
cd ~/pcss/data/pib
cp TmVersions.tbl TmVersions.tbl.dist
cp ../TmVersions-Nominal.tbl .
cp ../TmVersions-Redundant.tbl .
