Creating the Directory Structure for SNODB

The first step is to create the directory structure. Type:
/3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -dir
This will create the required directory structure and set the proper ownerships for each of them. You should now have 2 directory structures:

1. The official or test database directory (depending on which was chosen in the snodb.config file) with permission 740.

2. The server directory. If undefined, it is set by default to be /hepdb/cdsno. It should have the following minimum structure:

   

   The following top directories will appear if your node is the ``site'' node. (Addition subdirectories are also made but not listed below.) If you wish to test reading and writing to the database using the facilities described in Section 7, set the variable $site_node to your nodename in the file 3_06_05/scripts/snodb_lib/init.pl.

   

On VMS systems, the ACL for the queue directory should be set to allow write access only for the privileged few locals who supply official data to the SNO database.
