| 18 | |||
| 19 | 22 | Boyd, Steven | As part of your shift you should keep a record of people present, the main parameters of the |
| 20 | run and incidents that occurred during the run. A good example is shown in the |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 23 | Boyd, Steven | Guide to using the eLog for shift : attachment:Shifter_Elog_Guide.pdf |
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Note that in the example given in this guide, the shifters were explicitly asked to check the temperature differentials |
||
| 25 | in the conventional magnets every half hour. |

| 48 | 18 | Boyd, Steven | The current response to this is : |
| 49 | |||
| 50 | If the applications that had been running on the machine can just be opened elsewhere, then they should be, and an email |
||
| 51 | should be sent to the online expert (Paolo). If the process hasn't been released by the machine, and can't be run |
||
| 52 | in multiple instances (i.e. RunControl) then the SOC should be called, who will in turn probably call the online |
||
| 53 | expert. |
||
| 54 | 25 | Boyd, Steven | |
| 55 | h2. What if an error from the DataMover is reported from Run Control |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | If an error is reported via Run Control then the shifters don't NEED to do anything - they can |
||
| 58 | carry on with the next run; all that will happen is that the data distribution will be delayed. |
||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | Make an eLog entry, then wait until a suitable time when DAQ is stopped (e.g a shift change) and run the manual |
||
| 61 | script. If it still doesn't work, eLog the error and escalate to (for now) Henry. |
