DOOCS is documented by several means and methods. Currently the various information on DOOCS is being revised. It is recommended to start from here to stay up to date with the most current changes.
Manuals
How to install DOOCS software if you do not have access to a DESY accelerator control system node:
The graphical user interface to DOOCS - the Java DOOCS Data Display (JDDD) - is explained here:
The most central documentation for developing applications with DOOCS can be found in the following manual:
An initial and short guide on how to create a DOOCS server application is shown here:
The Doxygen-based reference for the most important libraries is linked here:
Management of all DOOCS-related source code is done using Git and specifically GitLab.
The DOOCS Application Manual describes the most basic and common tools and applications for DOOCS:
