-Revision 1.37  2007/04/10 16:53:14  jgrosseo
-redirecting sub detector stdout, stderr to sub detector log file
-
-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
-run type.
-
-Revision 1.32  2007/02/28 10:41:56  acolla
-Run type field added in SHUTTLE framework. Run type is read from "run type" logbook and retrieved by
-AliPreprocessor::GetRunType() function.
-Added some ldap definition files.
-
-Revision 1.30  2007/02/13 11:23:21  acolla
-Moved getters and setters of Shuttle's main OCDB/Reference, local
-OCDB/Reference, temp and log folders to AliShuttleInterface
-
-Revision 1.27  2007/01/30 17:52:42  jgrosseo
-adding monalisa monitoring
-
-Revision 1.26  2007/01/23 19:20:03  acolla

-AliShuttleConfig::Print. Added in Ali Shuttle: SetShuttleTempDir and
-SetShuttleLogDir
-
-Revision 1.25  2007/01/15 19:13:52  acolla
-Moved some AliInfo to AliDebug in SendMail function

-
-Revision 1.20  2006/11/16 16:16:48  jgrosseo
-introducing strict run ordering flag
-removed giving preprocessor name to preprocessor, they have to know their name themselves ;-)
-

-can keep track of the number of failures and skips further processing after a certain threshold is
-exceeded. These thresholds can be configured in LDAP.
