Running GUI against multiple dcache versions

Switching dCache version to 1.6.6

With the default setup, the pCells GUI assumes to connect to a 1.7.x dCache. In order to prepare the GUI to connect to a 1.6.6 dCache version open the class path panel :

Top bar -> Specials -> Class Loader

Select the connection name on the selection box on top of the menu. None of the checkboxes should be checked. Select

dcache 1.6.6 pcells-gui-dcache 1.1.1 pcells-gui-core 1.1.1 org.pcells 1.1.1 cells x.x.x

Leave the other boxes unchecked.

• Make sure you 'save' this setup
• After upgrading your dCache to 1.7.x, make sure you uncheck all checkboxes, which makes the GUI to use the actual defaults.

With pcells 1.2 you can connect to a dcache-1-8-0 system by selecting :

• dcache 1.8.0
• pcells-gui-dcache 1.1.1
• pcells-gui-core 1.1.1
• org.pcells 1.1.1
• cells x.x.x
