Remote Experiment Controller

Pre-requisites

Multicast Controller and rec.client

• Docker (20.10+)
• docker-compose (1.25.4+)

Hardware Server

• OpenJDK 11 (11.0.8+)

rec.web (recommended only for testing)

• Docker (20.10+)
• docker-compose (1.25.4+)

Pre-Steps

   experiments/create_pendulum_experiment.sh
   echo "experiment name - Name of the experiment (e.g. worldpendulum)"
   echo "experiment ID - ID of the experiment (e.g. ELAB_WORLD_PENDULUM_CCVALG)"
   echo "Location - Pendulum location (e.g. Faro)"
   echo "(optional) Video Location - URL to the video (e.g. rtsp://elabmc.ist.utl.pt:80/wp_ccvalg.sdp)"
   echo "(optional) Serial Device - Pendulum serial device location at the server (e.g. /dev/ttyS0)"

Build

Follow the next steps to build and run at target environments.

build_pendulum.properties:

• lab.list: Name of the laboratories to build, comma (,) delimited.
• pendulum.experiment.list: Name of the experiment(s) to build, comma (,) delimited.
• pendulum.multicast.controller.host: Hostname where Multicast controller is going to be installed
• pendulum.multicast.controller.port: Listen CORBA port used to recieve connections from Hardware Server, rec.web and rec.client (default: 9001)
• pendulum.rec.multicastcontroller.jmxremote.port: Listen JMX port used to recieve connections from rec.web (default: 25001)
• install.dir: Base directory where Multicast Controller is going to be installed (default: /home/elab)
• deployment.subdir: Sub directory where Multicast Controller is going to be installed (default: /rec-deployment)

Local

This option only serves testing purposes (install locally a clean environment), Pendulum Hardware Server is not used at this step.

   $ mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Djarsigner.alias="REC" -Dbuild.environment=local

Be aware that a virtual experiment is started by this step, not the pendulum!

Production

Build the project:

   $ mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Djarsigner.alias="REC" -Dbuild.environment=pendulum
