Start/Stop a Beamtime
The Start/Stop-script can only be executed by the beamline-staff groups, e.g. p11staff, FS-EC and IT
Start a Beamtime
ssh username@psana001.desy.de [psana001.desy.de]$ startBeamtime --beamtimeId <beamtimeID> --beamline <beamline>
startBeamtime --beamtimeId 1100362 --beamline P11
Archive for Proposal P Beamtimes
Since 2017-06-28, proposal P beamtimes (or "Industry Beamtimes") will not be archived and a single copy remains on the core filesystem.
If you wish to enable the archiving for such beamtimes, add the option "--archive" to the invocation of the startBeamtime script, e.g.:
[psana001.desy.de]$ startBeamtime --beamtimeId <beamtimeID> --beamline <beamline> --archive
The startBeamtime script will also print a message before the no/yes prompt, if archiving is disabled:
exmaple for proposal P
Output without --archive:
For beamtimes with proposalType P, automatic archiving is disabled by default.
If you wish to enable archiving for this beamtime, abort and add
'--archive' as an option to the script.
Do you really want to start beamtime '<beamtime>'? [no/Yes]
Output with --archive added:
Archiving for this beamtime has been requested.
Do you really want to start beamtime '<beamtime>'? [no/Yes]
Stop a Beamtime
ssh username@psana001.desy.de [psana001.desy.de]$ stopBeamtime --beamtimeId <beamtimeID> --beamline <beamline>
stopBeamtime --beamtimeId 1100362 --beamline P11
The directory 'current' will be un-linked and thus the data will cease to be visible on the beamline file-system.
The data created during this beamtime remains visible in the core file-system.
