1. f Fermilab Database Experience in Run II Fermilab Run II Database Requirements Online databases are maintained at each experiment and are critical for data taking. Offline databases are maintained in the Feynman Computing Center and are critical for data processing and analysis. High Availability for both online and offline database systems is required. Database Applications Overview –Detector and physics data Detector Calibration Trigger lists Data Luminosity Detector Slow Controls Run and Run Quality information –Data Handling (The SAM Database) Physics Metadata File catalog File replica management Processing information Database storage growth is shown in the accompanying charts (D0 left, CDF right).

2. f Fermilab Database Experience in Run II Oracle in Run II TOOLMAN –Provides an alternative method to OEM for monitoring Oracle databases. –Can be customized in several ways for the machine and databases it monitors. Data Base Monitoring: Monitoring is done using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM, by Oracle Corp) and TOOLMAN,an in-house developed tool. OEM monitors the following: –Node up and down, Database Listener down,Intelligent Agent –Number of storage extents and space usage –Database Alerts – Db down, file corruption –Number of concurrent sessions, CPU usage,Memory usage –Hit ratios for Library, Buffer Cache and other database resources. Table Partitioning Partitioning has been implemented for very large table(s) in the database. D0 uses a partitioned Events table with 50M events in each partition. Each partition is stored in its own tablespace and corresponding indexes are also partitioned and stored in their own tablespaces. Partitioning improves Query Optimization and Backup Performance Over 1 billion events are distributed over 24 partitions and a new partition is started about once a month. Replication Replication is used to share data in a large user. CDF has the same database structure for online and offline databases. Oracle’s asynchronous replication is used to refresh offline tables from online tables periodically. One replica is used by Farm Users and the other is used by CAF and other READ ONLY users. A key feature of CDF replication is Fail-Over from one replica to another for high reliability. CDF is planning to migrate to Oracle Streams replication available from version 9.2.x release soon. 9.2.0.4 On-line DB (cdfonprd) 8.7.1.4 Off-line DB (cdfofprd) 9.2.0.3 Off-line DB (cdfrep01) DFC Farm Users On-line Users CAF and Others Failover for Read Service ONLY 4 Applications Basic 4 Applications

3. f Fermilab Database Experience in Run II Run II Database Access For D0, only a subset of the online information was transferred to the offline database (Lower left). All access to the D0 offline database was through the Calibration DB server (DAN,upper right) or Data Handling server (SAM). CDF employed Basic Oracle replication to transfer all online database information to offline databases (See poster ‘Oracle in Run II’). FroNtier is a web-based, highly scalable, approach which is being developed for CDF to provide high performance database access to read-only information (Lower right). http://whcdf03.fnal.gov/ntier-wiki L1 LEVEL 3 FILTER NODES L2 CR DD DL EXAMINE ONLINE DB Datalogger, DLSAM PROCESS ENSTORE OFFLINE DB DATA FILE META DATA FE NODESTRIG CTL LUM SERVER HDB TRIG ON CAL mdata REPO MON LUM CALIB PROCESS TRIG DL PROC SAM DB FF COOR Web Entry MFC Entry Online Host -- DEC Front End -- 68k Level 3 Nodes -- NT Offline Host -- Sun Local Host SIG EVNT run ctl Alarm GUI Alarm SRV OFF LINE CAL ONLINE TO OFFLINE CONNECTION LUM run ctl ONLINEOFFLINE ETC Ø DØ Online to Offline Database Copy DØ Offline Caching Server: DAN (Database Access Network) CORBA interface to Client apps Memory (L1) and Disk (L2) caching Connection management to Database Server has common code base with SAM DB server Read-only DB access FroNtier Overview CDF Persistent Object Templates (Java) Client Caching FroNtier Server Database FroNtier Client API Library Squid Proxy/Caching Server FroNtier Servlet running under Tomcat Database (or other persistency service) XML Server Descriptors DDL for Table Descriptions C++ Header and Stubs JDBC HTTP
