 $Log$
+Revision 1.61  2007/10/30 20:33:51  acolla
+Improved managing of temporary folders, which weren't correctly handled.
+Resolved bug introduced in StoreReferenceFile, which caused SPD preprocessor fail.
+
+Revision 1.60  2007/10/29 18:06:16  acolla
+
+New function StoreRunMetadataFile added to preprocessor and Shuttle interface
+This function can be used by GRP only. It stores raw data tags merged file to the
+raw data folder (e.g. /alice/data/2008/LHC08a/000099999/Raw).
+
+KNOWN ISSUES:
+
+1. Shuttle cannot write to /alice/data/ because it belongs to alidaq. Tag file is stored in /alice/simulation/... for the time being.
+2. Due to a bug in TAlien::Mkdir, the creation of a folder in recursive mode (-p option) does not work. The problem
+has been corrected in the root package on the Shuttle machine.
+
+Revision 1.59  2007/10/05 12:40:55  acolla
+
+Result error code added to AliDCSClient data members (it was "lost" with the new implementation of TMap* GetAliasValues and GetDPValues).
+
+Revision 1.58  2007/09/28 15:27:40  acolla
+
+AliDCSClient "multiSplit" option added in the DCS configuration
+in AliDCSMessage: variable MAX_BODY_SIZE set to 500000
+
+Revision 1.57  2007/09/27 16:53:13  acolla
+Detectors can have more than one AMANDA server. SHUTTLE queries the servers sequentially,
+merges the dcs aliases/DPs in one TMap and sends it to the preprocessor.
+
+Revision 1.56  2007/09/14 16:46:14  jgrosseo
+1) Connect and Close are called before and after each query, so one can
+keep the same AliDCSClient object.
+2) The splitting of a query is moved to GetDPValues/GetAliasValues.
+3) Splitting interval can be specified in constructor
+
+Revision 1.55  2007/08/06 12:26:40  acolla
+Function Bool_t GetHLTStatus added to preprocessor. It returns the status of HLT
+read from the run logbook.

+
+Revision 1.45  2007/05/30 06:35:20  jgrosseo
+Adding functionality to the Shuttle/TestShuttle:
+o) Function to retrieve list of sources from a given system (GetFileSources with id=0)
+o) Function to retrieve list of IDs for a given source      (GetFileIDs)
+These functions are needed for dealing with the tag files that are saved for the GRP preprocessor
+Example code has been added to the TestProcessor in TestShuttle
+
+Revision 1.44  2007/05/11 16:09:32  acolla

+
+Revision 1.35  2007/04/04 16:26:38  acolla
+1. Re-organization of function calls in TestPreprocessor to make it more meaningful.
+2. Added missing dependency in test preprocessors.
+3. in AliShuttle.cxx: processing time and memory consumption info on a single line.
+
+Revision 1.34  2007/04/04 10:33:36  jgrosseo
+1) Storing of files to the Grid is now done _after_ your preprocessors succeeded. This is transparent, which means that you can still use the same functions (Store, StoreReferenceData) to store files to the Grid. However, the Shuttle first stores them locally and transfers them after the preprocessor finished. The return code of these two functions has changed from UInt_t to Bool_t which gives you the success of the storing.
+In case of an error with the Grid, the Shuttle will retry the storing later, the preprocessor does not need to be run again.
+
+2) The meaning of the return code of the preprocessor has changed. 0 is now success and any other value means failure. This value is stored in the log and you can use it to keep details about the error condition.
+
+3) New function StoreReferenceFile to _directly_ store a file (without opening it) to the reference storage.
+
+4) The memory usage of the preprocessor is monitored. If it exceeds 2 GB it is terminated.
+
+5) New function AliPreprocessor::ProcessDCS(). If you do not need to have DCS data in all cases, you can skip the processing by implemting this function and returning kFALSE under certain conditions. E.g. if there is a certain run type.
+If you always need DCS data (like before), you do not need to implement it.
+
+6) The run type has been added to the monitoring page
+
+Revision 1.33  2007/04/03 13:56:01  acolla
+Grid Storage at the end of preprocessing. Added virtual method to disable DCS query according to the
