TileCalibWeb Robot tool for ATLAS Calorimeter conditions and calibrations data handling in Run 3

Abstract

Every sub-detector in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, including Liquid Argon and TileCal, writes conditions and calibration data into an ORACLE Database (DB). In order to provide an interface for reliable interactions both with the Conditions Online and Offline DBs a unique semiautomatic web based application, TileCalibWeb Robot, has been developed. TileCalibWeb is being used in LHC Run 3 by ATLAS Calorimeter data preparation, data quality and calibration experts as well as by shifters on duty. The architecture and functionality of the tool is discussed. Use cases for updating the conditions data of various types and formats are presented. The interface provides the user with the option to choose the strategy of the DB update. Options include a short text input typed directly into the browser as well as more complicated methods using data files prepared in advance. TileCalibWeb significantly simplifies the procedure of the preparation and writing of conditions and calibration data both into Online and Offline DBs in parallel, verifies user input and automatically publishes bookkeeping records.
