Quattor Server

SCDB Initialization

To start with SCDB, you first need to install a ​Subversion server, an open source product. There are in fact 2 versions of Subversion server :

• http based : it is provided as an Apache module. This is the recommended version for production but is a litte bit more complex to setup than standalone version.
• standalone version : this should be used for testing, as it has less features than http based version.

There is no problem to start with standalone server and migrate to http server later (just the repository URL will change and it will require a new checkout) : repository are the same whatever the access method is.

After you have a Subversion server installed, you need to :

• Create a repository or a branch in an existing repository where SCDB will be stored
• Checkout this repository/branch (svn co)
• Import the basic SCDB structure from SCDB.
• Import QWG templates in cfg directory, according to the version you need. See QWG download instructions.

A tool originally written for QWG templates developpers, check-compile.sh, simplifies the two last steps (import of standard templates), executing both operations and compiling examples. Use option -h to get the list of available options. A typical use of this tool (replace the release tag gLite-3.0.2-1 by the QWG templates release you want to download) is :

check-compile.sh -d your_scdb_dir /templates/tags/gLite-3.0.2-1
