Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Project's Controls group has implemented the use of our relational database as the source of the IOC configuration files. There are almost 500 IOCs deployed at SNS with several variations of operating system and configuration file formats. Until recently, the configuration of these IOCs was left to the individual IOC engineers. Now, new database structures have been created to capture the data contained within the configuration files. New interface tools allow IOC engineers to manipulate their configuration data within the database. After manipulation of the data, the IOCs are triggered to load the new configuration. This paper describes the current experience the steps taken to get it implemented, and plans for the future.
