Override Values in Facilities.xml

[Ross Miller]

There are occasions when we need to override certain values stored in Facilities.xml. (Specifically, the livedata server for the CORELLI instrument at SNS has 2 network interfaces, and we plan to have live clients talking to both of them.)

[Stuart Campbell]

Ross, will this work for you.

If you create a new copy of the Facilities.xml file somewhere (say with the name Facilities_CORELLI.xml) with an altered SMS address for CORELLI. Then from python try running:

config.updateFacilities('/path/to/new/file/Facilities_CORELLI.xml')

[Stuart Campbell]

You should be able to print what it thinks the live address is by typing

print config.getInstrument('CORELLI').instdae()

[Ross Miller]

That might work. I'm trying it out now.

Did it work ?

Replying to Stuart Campbell:

Did it work ?

Yes, that idea works fine. We can probably close this ticket.

[Owen Arnold]

Yes, this works. No code changes required.
