icat-esrf-definitions 2.1.1

ESRF ICAT definitions

HDF5 Master config

This repository contains the XML file that describes the mapping between ICAT database and the master file in HDF5 format. It also contains a set of tools that will help with the maintenance of it.

:warning: The file hdf5_cfg.xml is not longer updated and only exists for backward compatibility with pyicat-plus<=0.1.7. The new definitions file is src/icat_esrf_definitions/hdf5_cfg.xml. Changes should be applied to the new file only.

Requirements

Proxy

In case of need a proxy should be well setup:

export https_proxy=https://proxy.esrf.fr:3128

python-icat

Some tools will need python-icat version 0.12.0 and version 0.13.1 will not work

Installing python-icat

Go to the URL :

https://icatproject.org/user-documentation/python-icat/

and download file called python-icat-0.12.0.tar.gz:

-rw-r--r-- 1 blissadm bliss 272576 Oct 10  2016 python-icat-0.12.0.tar.gz
c9034ad2a725ba1317a911940c577a8b  python-icat-0.12.0.tar.gz

This file can be found on:

/segfs/bliss/projects/ICAT/python-icat
-rw-r--r-- 1 homsrego soft 272576 Feb 12 16:48 python-icat-0.12.0.tar.gz

Uncompress and install the tar by using pip:

cd Downloads
tar -xvzf python-icat-0.12.0.tar.gz
cd python-icat-0.12.0
pip install .

Test:

~/icat/python-icat % python 
Python 2.7.9 (default, Jun 29 2016, 13:08:31) 
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import icat
>>> icat.__version__
'0.12.0'

List of tools

Set of tools to validate the XML file

1. XML Syntax Validation: Checks if XML is well formed
2. Parameters list: Prints a list of parameters from XML
3. ICAT Parameter list: Prints a list of parameters from ICAT DB
4. Metadata Status: Compares both metadata parameters from XML file and DB
5. Add parameters: It reads the xml file and proposes to create the missing parameters in ICAT. Missing parameters are the params defined in the XML that are not in the ICAT DB
6. List techniques: It reads the xml file are returns all the subentries that correspond to the techniques

XML Syntax Validation

This tool checks the syntax of the hdf5_cfg.xml file. It will raise an error if the XML is not well formed

How to run it?

python tools/xml/validate.py hdf5_cfg.xml 

Example

Success:
```
lindemaria:~/Software/metadata/hdf5-master-config % python tools/validate.py hdf5_cfg.xml 
[PASSED] hdf5_cfg.xml is well-formed
```

Error:
```
lindemaria:~/Software/metadata/hdf5-master-config % python tools/validate.py hdf5_cfg.xml 
[ERROR] hdf5_cfg.xml is mismatched tag: line 84, column 3
```

Parameters list

This tool prints in the standard output the list of parameters set in the hdf5_cgf.xml file

How to run it?

cd tools
python -m list.list ../hdf5_cfg.xml

Example

scanName
scanNumber
proposal
scanType
[..]

ICAT Parameter list

This tool prints in the standard output the list of parameters set in ICAT.

Configuration Files

icat.cfg should exist on this location:

./tools/icat/icat.cfg

It is the file that contains the connection string to ICAT. An example of such file you can find icat.cfg.example where password has been hidden

[ovm-icat2]
url = https://ovm-icat2.esrf.fr/ICATService/ICAT?wsdl
auth = db
username = root
password = ************
idsurl = https://ovm-icat2:8181/ids
# uncomment, if your server does not have a trusted certificate
checkCert = No

Note that auth is a controlled value list of: db | esrf

How to run it?

cd tools/icat/list
python list.py -s ovm-icat2 --no-check-certificate -c ../icat.cfg --https-proxy ""

Metadata Status

This tool will look for the parameters on ICAT DB and then will compare with the parameters defined in the xml making a summary of the current status

Configuration

icat.cfg should exist that it is the file that contains the connection string to ICAT.
An example of such file is icat.cfg.example where password has been hidden

How to run it?

cd tools/icat/status
python status.py  -s ovm-icat2 --no-check-certificate -c ../icat.cfg --https-proxy ""

Example

lindemaria:tools/icat/status % python status.py  -s ovm-icat2 --no-check-certificate -c ../icat.cfg --https-proxy ""


[ERROR] These parameters exists in ../../../hdf5_cfg.xml but not in the DB

MRT_beamHeight
MRT_beamSize
MRT_dose
MRT_expoSpeed
MRT_expoStart


[INFO] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add parameters

Configuration

icat.cfg should exist that it is the file that contains the connection string to ICAT.
An example of such file is icat.cfg.example where password has been hidden

How to run it?

cd tools/icat/addParameters
python addParameters.py  -s ovm-icat2 --no-check-certificate -c ../icat.cfg --https-proxy ""
