OEP Status 28 January 1998

Current status of OEP software and development

• OEP Framework and tagged containers
• • Most of the code for enhanced tagged container behavior has been checked in to the OdfPublic package.
  • • odfTypeId* - replaces existing odfTCObject and implements a type identification system for containers and their children
    • odfTypeRep* - provides the basis of a type dictionary scheme for iterator lookups
    • odfContigXTC* - a container class, generic iterator, type-safe iterator, and a builder for hierarchies of tagged containers
    • various test programs
    • replacements for odfTC, odfXTC, and odfTCIterator taking the new odfTypeId* technology into account
  • Two more components, and documentation, are ready to go in:
  • • A manager for odfTransition objects, allowing users to build arena-managed TCs inside odfTransition objects (this is a temporary kludge until DataFlow's real buffer manager appears)
    • A handle for TCs in AbsEvents
  • An initial hierarchy browser will follow shortly.
  • We will be having another TC workshop next week to review these changes and address some longer-term issues.
  • I'm writing documentation, which will go into the DataFlow Auxiliary Reference Manual.
• Integration with DataFlow
• • The main problem right now is getting the two makefile systems to cooperate. With a fix to this, data transport from DF to OEP should follow in a couple of days.
• Distributed histogramming and GUIs
• • The CORBA version of Dhp works.
  • Our student hire is working on converting the Java client to a JavaBean, and will then move it to CORBA as well.
  • We are working on making IDL files and the rest of the build technology needed for CORBA work inside SRT.
• Databases
• • Yury Kolomensky and George Zioulas will present the new configuration database interface in tomorrow's online meeting (hijacked from DataFlow).
