Database Services

Services

The following services are under the responsibility of this team

Service Responsible Description
Accelerator Application Servers IT-DB-IMS

Provide application server for the control, exploitation and maintenance of the accelerator chain.

Accelerator DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

- Database Services based on Oracle for control, exploitation and maintenance of the accelerator chain as well as the access control systems. - This includes ACCON (Accelerator Settings and Controls Configuration necessary to drive all accelerator installations), ACCMEAS (Accelerator short-term Measurements database to capture real-time data) and ACCLOG (Accelerator long-term Logging database to keep data for many years). - This includes production and development services. Production services are deployed using a high-availability setup.

Accelerator DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

Provides installation, configuration and patching of the physical, virtual servers and storage infrastructure used for accelerators database systems.

Administrative DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

Database Services based on Oracle for administrative applications. This includes production, test, and development database services. Production services are deployed using a high-availability setup.

Administrative DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

Provides installation, configuration and patching of the physical, virtual servers and storage infrastructure used for administrative database systems.

Application Middleware IT-DB-IMS

Provides installation, monitoring, configuration and patching of the middle tier application components.
The middle tiers contain: Apache web servers, Weblogic server, Oracle iAS (OC4J, reports), Apache Tomcat, PL/SQL gateway, add some specific 3rd party components.

EDMS DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

- Database Services based on Oracle for EDMS and MTF (Equipment Management Folder). - This includes production, development, training and pilot database services. - Production services are deployed using a high-availability setup.

EDMS DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

Provides installation, configuration and patching of the physical, virtual servers and storage infrastructure used for EDMS database systems.

General Purpose DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

- Provide database Services based on Oracle for general purpose applications (not for experiments, not for EDMS, not for CASTOR, not for accelerators, not for AIS).
- It includes database related application servers (Forms, PL/SQL gateway and Apex).
- Production services are deployed using a high-availability setup.

General Purpose DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

Provides installation, configuration and patching of the physical, virtual servers and storage infrastructure used for general purpose database systems.

Physics DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

Provide DB Services based on Oracle for Physics Experiments and WLCG.
Provide DB and DB administration services for WLCG, ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCB, COMPASS.
Provides distributed database services towards Tier1 centers for ATLAS, LHCB and FTS.

Physics DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

HW infrastructure to provide Physics DB Instances.

Tier0 mass storage DB Instances IT-DB-DBF

- This functional element provides the underlying Oracle database for CASTOR (service element "Storage Service for Projects & Experiments", functional element "CASTOR"). Incidents and Requests Fulfilments should be opened on "CASTOR" and not on this functional element unless there is evidence that the issue comes from the underlying database. A priori, only CASTOR operation and development team should open incident to this functional element.
- Database Services based on Oracle for CASTOR and more generally Tier0 mass storage applications.

Tier0 mass storage DB Server Infrastructure IT-DB-DBB

Provides installation, configuration and patching of the physical, virtual servers and storage infrastructure used for Tier0 database systems.
