4. VP - 27 May 20044 Data Files - internal binary representation of data can be different - not just a copy, but a read (unpacking) and write (packing) CTree library -Source files might need to be modified Will become obsolete with LSA controls CTree

5. VP - 27 May 20045 Move to LINUX Difficulties - third party software - big amount of software to be recompiled, inside and outside AB/CO - LSA operational in 2006 → Ctree removed → SPS Wilkie-soft and TZ software replaced → BUT : SPS shutdown in 2005 additional risks if no software transition period during physics runs Eradication of HP-UX end date > 2006, could be defined when LSA operational To be done soon or later Direction already taken by IT (+ SUNs for ORACLE servers + 2 HPs for legacy software)
