Testing Payload Configuration These members control where to look
for temporary testing payloads. Each entry in the list of locations should be a filename of a textfile containing payload information. All payload files need to be in the same directory as the text file. Entries are highest priority first: Payloads found by earlier entries will take precedence over later entries. Payloads found in these text files. take precedence over payloads from globaltags. Warning This causes non reproducible results and is only for testing purposes.

boost::python::list	getTestingPayloadLocationsPy ()
	Get the list of text files containing test payloads in python.
Configure Metadata providers
These members are used to configure metadata providers: Where to look for payload information given the list of globaltags. Each entry in the list should be an URI or filename to a central REST server or a sqlite file containing a previously downloaded dump. The first entry in the list is used unless there is a problem reaching the server/reading the file in which case we use the next entry in the list as failover.

Payload Location Configuration
Configure where to look for payload files. This should be a list of directories and or http(s) urls where the files containing the payload content can be found. Each location will be tried in turn and if the payload is not found in any of them we try to download it from the official server.
void	appendPayloadLocation (const std::string &location)

Detailed Description

Class to enable configuration of the conditions database access in C++ and python.

This class contains all settings relevant for the usage of the conditions database.

Mostly this class is just a container for user settings without much intelligence. The only thing it does is construct the final list of globaltags to be used from input data and user settings, maybe via a user callback, in getFinalListOfTags().

the exposePythonAPI() function contains detailed documentation to most of the members in this class for the python interface and details all of the settings.

Member Function Documentation

appendGlobalTag()

void appendGlobalTag ( const std::string &  globalTag )

inline

Append a globaltag.

Definition at line 78 of file Configuration.h.

{ ensureEditable(); m_globalTags.append(globalTag); }

appendMetadataProvider()

void appendMetadataProvider ( const std::string &  provider )

inline

Append a metadata provider to the list.

Definition at line 222 of file Configuration.h.

{ ensureEditable(); m_metadataProviders.append(provider); }

appendPayloadLocation()

void appendPayloadLocation ( const std::string &  location )

inline

Append a payload to the list of locations.

Definition at line 248 of file Configuration.h.

{ ensureEditable(); m_payloadLocations.append(location); }

appendTestingPayloadLocation()

void appendTestingPayloadLocation ( const std::string &  filename )

inline

Add a local text file with testing payloads.

Definition at line 194 of file Configuration.h.

{ ensureEditable(); m_testingPayloadLocations.append(filename); }

disableGlobalTagReplay()

void disableGlobalTagReplay ( )

inline

Disable global tag replay.

This restores the previous behavior of just using the default globaltag and is just a shortcut for calling overrideGlobalTags() and appending each tag in getDefaultGlobalTags() tho the list of globaltags using appendGlobalTag()

Definition at line 152 of file Configuration.h.

    {
      overrideGlobalTags();
      for (const auto& tag : getDefaultGlobalTags()) appendGlobalTag(tag);
    }

ensureEditable()

void ensureEditable ( ) const

inlineprivate

Check whether the configuration object can be edited or if the database has been initialized already.

Definition at line 314 of file Configuration.h.

    {
      if (m_databaseInitialized)
        throw std::runtime_error("Database already initialized, please reset before changing the configuration object");
    }

fillFromEnv()

static void fillFromEnv ( T &  target, const std::string &  envName, const std::string &  defaultValue  )

inlinestaticprivate

Fill a target object from a list of environment variables.

Definition at line 308 of file Configuration.h.

    {
      const auto values = EnvironmentVariables::getOrCreateList(envName, defaultValue);
      for (const std::string& v : values) target.append(v);
    }

getBaseTags()

std::vector< std::string > getBaseTags

(

)

const

Get the base globaltags to be used in addition to user globaltags.

• If no input file is present, the result of getBaseTags() is identical to the list returned by getDefaultGlobalTags()
• If one ore more input files are present, the input module is responsible to call setInputGlobalTags(). If setInputGlobalTags() has been called then getBaseTags() returns the list of globaltags by splitting the value passed from the input modules at the commas.

getDefaultMetadataProviderUrl()

std::string getDefaultMetadataProviderUrl ( )

inline

Get the default URL where to look for the metadata provider.

Definition at line 234 of file Configuration.h.

{ return m_defaultMetadataProviderUrl; }

getDownloadCacheDirectory()

std::string getDownloadCacheDirectory ( ) const

inline

Get the directory where to place downloaded payloads.

Empty string is shorthand to put them in a folder basf2-conditions in the temp dir

Definition at line 282 of file Configuration.h.

{ return m_downloadCacheDirectory; }

getDownloadLockTimeout()

size_t getDownloadLockTimeout ( ) const

inline

Get the timout we try to lock a file in the download cache directory for downloading.

Definition at line 287 of file Configuration.h.

{ return m_downloadLockTimeout; }

getFinalListOfTags()

std::vector< std::string > getFinalListOfTags

(

)

Get the final list of globaltags to be used for processing.

• if overrideEnabled() is false then processing will use getGlobalTags() and getBaseTags() (in this order) as the list of globaltags to be used for processing. if getBaseTags() is empty an error will be raised and processing will be aborted.
• if overrideEnabled() is true (by calling overrideGlobalTags()) then only the list from getGlobaltags() will be used for processing.
