-Revision 1.19  2006/11/06 14:23:04  jgrosseo
-major update (Alberto)
-o) reading of run parameters from the logbook
-o) online offline naming conversion
-o) standalone DCSclient package
-
-Revision 1.18  2006/10/20 15:22:59  jgrosseo
-o) Adding time out to the execution of the preprocessors: The Shuttle forks and the parent process monitors the child
-o) Merging Collect, CollectAll, CollectNew function
-o) Removing implementation of empty copy constructors (declaration still there!)
-
-Revision 1.17  2006/10/05 16:20:55  jgrosseo
-adapting to new CDB classes

-applying to the new interface
-
-Revision 1.15  2006/10/02 16:38:39  jgrosseo
-update (alberto):
-fixed memory leaks
-storing of objects that failed to be stored to the grid before
-interfacing of shuttle status table in daq system
-

-effc++ corrections (alberto)
-
-Revision 1.12  2006/08/08 14:19:29  jgrosseo
-Update to shuttle classes (Alberto)
-
-- Possibility to set the full object's path in the Preprocessor's and
-Shuttle's  Store functions
-- Possibility to extend the object's run validity in the same classes
-("startValidity" and "validityInfinite" parameters)
-- Implementation of the StoreReferenceData function to store reference
-data in a dedicated CDB storage.
-
-Revision 1.11  2006/07/21 07:37:20  jgrosseo
-last run is stored after each run
-
-Revision 1.10  2006/07/20 09:54:40  jgrosseo
-introducing status management: The processing per subdetector is divided into several steps,
-after each step the status is stored on disk. If the system crashes in any of the steps the Shuttle
-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.
-
