Status of the core MW libraries

RDA3 Java: cmw-rda3 v. 0.5.0 Stable & validated public API Fully working client & server TODO: RBAC integration & RDA2 compatibility

RDA3 C++: cmw-rda3 v. 0.5.0 Stable & validated public API Fully working client & server TODO: RBAC integration & RDA2 compatibility

JAPC Full compatibility with RDA2 & RDA3 TODO: clean-up of ArrayCalls & ParameterGroups

RDA3 integration with Frameworks FESA3

Supports GET & SET operations RDA3 integration suspended till Spring’14 New major FESA3 version with RDA3 in June’14

FGC Work in progress (since Sep.) To be completed by February’14 Waiting for RBAC integration

WinCC-OA (aka. PVSS) & LabVIEW Work in progress (since Nov.), prototype client & server Plans: LabVIEW by January’14 & WinCC-OA client by March’14 WinCC-OA server: not scheduled yet Waiting for RBAC integration & RDA2 compatibility

PostMortem client Just completed first version based on RDA3 Next: validation with the main users Waiting for RBAC integration & RDA2 compatibility

Conclusions

Working software released & delivered to users

All Frameworks work on integration with RDA3

No BING-BANG migration but gradual introduction of RDA3 RDA2 remains operational till LS2 FESA3 v. 2.0.0 will provide RDA3 with option to go back to RDA2

Validation & scalability tests will be organized Based on several critical use cases

LS1: Changes in JAPC

New major JAPC version upgrade for RDA3 (September’13) Public API backward compatible Possible API extensions, but always compatible Announcement via accsoft-java-announce list

Required Actions for JAPC Users Update JAPC jars (via CommonBuild) Re-release your product (via CommonBuild) New JAPC will support communication with RDA2 & RDA3 servers

24th April 2013

Wojciech Sliwinski, Middleware Plans for LS1 and Outlook for LS2 10

LS1: Changes in RDA

New major version: RDA3 (June’13 – alpha version) Public API NOT backward compatible New protocol, new architecture, new design Same Device/Property model & Get/Set/Subscribe calls Announcement via cmw-news & accsoft-java-announce lists

Required Actions for RDA Users For Java: Use new version of JAPC (API unchanged) For Java: New JAPC will support communication with RDA2 & RDA3 servers For C++: Upgrade user code to new RDA3 API For C++: RDA3 will support communication with RDA2 & RDA3 servers

Consequences if NO Action staying with old RDA2 NOT possible to communicate with new RDA3 servers (FESA3, FGC, etc.)

Wojciech Sliwinski, Middleware Plans for LS1 and Outlook for LS2 11

MW Upgrade strategy in LS1 and towards LS2

No BIG-BANG migration but gradual Backward compatible (connection-wise) new RDA3 client library

New RDA3 clients can communicate with RDA2 & RDA3 servers FESA3 will exist with both: old RDA2 (FESA3.1) and new RDA3 (FESA3.2)

24th April 2013

Old JAPC

Old RDA2server

FESA2.10 FESA3.1

Old RDA2server

New RDA3server

FESA3.2

Old RDA2client

New JAPC

New RDA3client

RDA2 RDA3 Gateway

Client apps will migrate during LS1

Only for justified, exceptional cases

FEC developers should migrate to

FESA3.2 ASAP
