1. Get 3_06_05.tar.gz from the Penn web site at URL http://www.hep.upenn.edu/SNO/ (go to "snodb"). gunzip and untar it from your /hepdb/cdsno area. 2. Copy 3_06_04/scripts/snodb.config to 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.config (this will overwrite untar'd version of snodb.config which has been set up for Penn disk areas etc. with the version which you have already correctly set up for your local configuration) 3. After editing 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl so that the first line points to the location of Perl on your system, run 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -dir 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -extract 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -make_tools 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -names 4. run 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -build_official Respond "no" (the default response) to the query regarding deleting .dbs files. 5. run 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -slave_to_master to temporarily set up your node as a database master 6. run the bourne shell script 3_06_05/scripts/sn_edit_keys.scr to modify validity ranges of all existing eca/pca banks When this is complete there should be 27 files in the /hepdb/cdsno/todo directory. 7. run 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -master_to_slave to revert your node to slave status 8. run 3_06_05/scripts/snodb.perl -process_updates to incorporate the validity range changes made via sn_edit_keys into the database. This procedure will also send the czars a snapshot of the database for verification purposes. 9. Once I receive verification of completion of the above steps via the automatic mailing of the snapshot, I will propagate out Steve Biller's ECA constants to your node.
